ESX Server works by letting you transform physical computers into a pool of logical computing resources. Physical servers are partitioned into secure virtual servers. Operating systems and applications are isolated in these multiple virtual servers that reside on a single piece of hardware. These resources can then be distributed to any operating system or application as needed.
ESX Server provides dynamic logical partitioning. It runs directly on the hardware to partition and isolate server resources, using advanced resource management controls to let you remotely manage, automate, and standardize these server resources.
