Broadcom has officially reintroduced the free version of VMware ESXi Again?
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?
