Ok Windows Server 2003 Standard in a 32-bit environment only uses 4GB of memory. If I have a server with 16GB of memory and ESXi installed on it then can I have 4 different Server 2003 VM each with 4GB? Like does ESXi recognize all of it and share it out correctly in a 32-bit environment?<br />
<br />
I am new to virtualization and just trying to get a better understanding of it.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your help.

Memory Usage in VMware ESXi

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
