How to manage VMWare's Free ESXi

Hello,

I'm thinking of using the free ESXi by VMWARE. Can someone advise me on how can I manage it free? because I know it does allow management via web access.

What free tools out there by VMWARE or others allowing the gui management of ESXi

Take a look at VMWare Server 2.0, once installed this should have everything you need to manage your remote or local virtual servers through a web interface. Unless there is something that you specifically need ESXi for.

I'm using latest Dell T610 server therefore will it support all the hardware?

Also we are going to be using LTO4 drive will that work ok as well??

I thought VM Server 2.0 is old therefore, might not be compatible with recent hardware?

It is going to be used in a production environment... All we want to do is to put two Server OSs Server 2008 with Exchange 2007 on one of them on single Dell T610 box.
