About

The ES virtual appliance contains a striped down Linux operating system and our software fully configured, ready to run, without the need for any local installation. This is achieved by using a 3 parts software called a hypervisor. The performance loss is only ~3-10% compared to installing it on a dedicated server.

The different VMware versions requires 64-bit cpu with virtualization enabled. VirtualBox version can be run on a 32-bit cpu.

There is also a video tutorial showing the complete installation process for VMware ESX Server. See the end of this video for how to configure ES regardless of VMware platform. Video installation tutorial
