Hi there! Just for beginning pros and cons of using VmWare Server instead of ESXi Server:
Pros:
- Server doesn`t require compatible hardware, and can be installed on any Windows or Linux host
- ESXi doesn`t allow pass-through of USB drives to VM
- Server`s VMs can be copied easily to USB stick and moved to other host
- Doesn`t require additional learning.
Cons:
- Requires too many RAM memories for Apache web server – about 240 MB.
The easiest way to avoid this is to use VMware vSphere Client, which can be obtained with VMware vCenter. All you have to do after vSphere Client installation – put string type server_address:8883 in IP address, and you`ll be able to use all advantages of both products – vSphere Client and VmWare Server.
