<a href="https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2143838" rel="ugc nofollow">https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=2143838</a><br />
Does it mean I have to install &nbsp;vCEnter Server 6.5 GA First and then update to vCenter Server 6.5 Oe Express Patch 3. &nbsp;OR is there an 6.5 vCenter Server ISO available with the latest patches.<br />
<br />
2. For the ESXi Hosts we are using HP Blade Server.<br />
Is there a specific link for the latest ESXi 6.5 (to include the latest patches too) from HP. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you

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.
