Abstracting from ethics, Virtualbox is probably not a suitable replacement for ESXi. Oracle VM Server might be. But then, you could use Xen directly.

- Alupis 12y agoXenServer seems a more apt replacement for ESXi. They are both tier 1 hypervisors and come with comparable features and management options, and both install from an ISO with easy setup. XenServer is also 100% open sourced now by Citrix. It's a completely free product with all the features, but you can pay Citrix for enterprise support if you want/need it.
- vetinari 12y agoOracle VM Server is Xen under the hood, just with different management tools (and comes with fees and occasionally, support too ;) ).
