Exciting news for the virtualization community!

Broadcom has officially reintroduced the free version of VMware ESXi with the release of ESXi 8.0 Update 3e (Build 24674464) on April 10, 2025.
This marks a major policy shift, as Broadcom had previously discontinued the free ESXi offering following its acquisition of VMware—a decision that led many users to explore alternative platforms.
The announcement, tucked away in the official release notes, states: “Broadcom makes available the VMware vSphere Hypervisor version 8, an entry-level hypervisor. You can download it free of charge from the Broadcom Support portal.”
This move is sure to spark renewed interest in VMware ESXi among users and businesses alike. What are your thoughts on this development?
