Simple setup of VMware ESXi6.7 (with pictures and text)

1. Introduction to VMware vSphere

VMware vSphere is the industry's leading and most reliable virtualization platform. vSphere simplifies IT operations by separating applications and operating systems from the underlying hardware.

Your existing applications see dedicated resources, while your servers are managed as a resource pool. As a result, your business runs in a simplified yet highly resilient IT environment.

vSphere is a server virtualization solution launched by VMware. The latest version is 6.7, and its core components are VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter.

VMware ESXi 6.7 was released on November 15, 2016. This article briefly introduces the installation and use of VMware ESXi 6.7.
