An Approach to Personalize VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) Using HPE Image Streamer

Server virtualization technology is an automation method to control and monitor task running in multiple virtual machines. It uses software to divide a physical server into multiple virtual machines. Each virtual machine runs its own operating system. It increases the effective use of server. The VMware ESXi operating system can be personalized with required designs, updates, and patches. This study focuses on personalization of the ESXi operating system with the customized application stack. The bare metal compute hardware boots up directly into this application stack and is ready to host virtual machines on it. The HPE Image Streamer is used to host, configure, and serve the operating systems to HPE Synergy compute modules.
