I am currently new to ESX server, trying to accomplish the following:<br />
<br />
Host 3 separate virtual networks on one ESX server. &nbsp;Each network will consist of one Windows 2003 SBS, and one Windows XP machine.<br />
<br />
In total, we want to have each network have one SBS and one XP machine, joined to the domain. <br />
<br />
What is the recommended setup for this? &nbsp;I believe I need a vSwitch and then a vRouter for each domain? &nbsp;Thanks for any guidance you can provide, and any links are appreciated.<br />
<br />
Currently I have the ESX server software installed, and all machines are running on the ESX server itself. &nbsp;I have not really made any ESX server related configuration changes, beyond installing and moving the machines over to it.<br />

Looking for recommended setup for 3 separate Windows domains, on 3 separate networks, on VMWare ESX Server 3.5

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.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
