Broadcom made major news today with the release of VMware ESXi 8.0U3e as a free hypervisor once again! What is going on? Did we just see Broadcom take away VMware ESXi free edition last year? Yes we did, but in a major shift, they seem to have made a 180 on this decision and have once again released the hypervisor for free! See the details and how you can go about downloading it now!
