Though they can provide similar functionality, Resource Partitioning Manager (RPM) and ESX Server are distinctly different. With RPM, multiple partitions are created on a single Windows 2000 operating system. With VMware ESX Server, each partition runs on its own operating system leading to multiple operating systems on a single server. While RPM can enable application consolidation under a single operating system with defined resources, ESX Server provides physical consolidation – multiple virtual servers on one piece of hardware.
