Install Sophos UTM 9 on Synology VMWare ESXI 6.5?

Question

Hi, 
 i want to install the sophos in a vm under my synology nas 1517+. (4lan, intel cpu, 8gb ram) 
 The nas supports esxi 6.5. 
 
 You can install UTM v9 within the following virtual environments: 
 VMware ESX 5.1 
 VMware ESX 5.5-6.5 
 
 Does it mean esxi is not supported? 
 Thanks for help.

Hi Mario, 
 It should support and there are several virtualization platforms which are also supported but not officially mentioned in the KBA above. Alongside, your NAS has good hardware specs to support it efficiently. 
 Thanks

Hi Mario, 
 to answer your Question - esx and esxi is the same, UTM on vSphere/esx(i) 5.1 - 6.5 is Supported. 
 
 VMware merged the esx and esxi productlines with release of Version 4 or 5.. Prior to that it was a different Code Basis, now it is the same. 
 
 I don't think it is desireable to run any Kind of virtualisation on a nas box because of its limited resources - please use it only for Validation / Home-Use.
