Following the cessation of the sale of perpetual licenses, Broadcom, which acquired VMware's business last November, has stopped distributing free versions of VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 7.x and 8.x). The free versions were limited in terms of the number of CPU cores used and memory size, and they did not include advanced features. However, the basic functionality was present, making them popular for small, personal, and experimental deployments. No alternative products have been provided.
