vSphere ESX(i) is good product. It runs on bare metal so there is no
OS underneath it. ESX has a linux based environment that sort of runs
at the hypervisor level that people use for basic admin but VMware is
trying to phase that out as most everything you can do with ESX's
"console" can be done through ESXi's API's and the remote CLI.
Only downside to the free version is certain API's are unavailable and
if you need those features you may have to go to a paid version.
