Back at Vegas people asked us in jest whether the Pi could ever run ESX. We decided it was worth showing that it is possible. ESX on Pi is a promise that VMware understands that the Edge includes extremely low end devices as well. Scaling with the workload and envo is important!

As far as vCenter Arm support, we had demonstrated DRS, HA, vMotion and Fault Tolerance back 6 weeks ago in Vegas. Today all these technologies are only available as vCenter, but that doesn’t mean that vCenter will be the management plane for the Edge.

The @solid_run ClearCloud has a @marvellsemi Armada A8040. The MacchiatoBin motherboard in this platform was the demo vehicle for the resilient Edge gateway demo and unveil of ESXi-Arm at VMworld Vegas.
