IBM Power is based on the Power CPUs, not Intel, but if you have only Linux VMs, Linux on Power is definitely an option (both RHEL and SLES) provided that whatever you're running on those x86_64 VMs also has a port to ppc64le.

Hi,
Could be a good server to migrate to IBM Blade Center with Blade Server HS23? I saw IBM Power E1080 and 1050.
Regards.

It would really be best to upgrade to new hardware. They may see an ROI from HW Maintenance, software license cost, decrease unplan downtime and increase security by doing so

Here is a good place to check interoperability of VMware Products - https://interopmatrix.vmware.com/

Hi José Pina,
Good afternoon.
Yes, I know that that the server are so old.
Also, is it posible to install vCenter Server 7.0 in HS23 and manage the rest of ESXi 6.5, 6.7,...?
Vmware only support to version 6.7 in HS23.
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

Not a an answer to your question, but given the age of those processors (came out in 2009, 2011, and 2013), you may get relevant savings (Footprint, Power & Air-Conditioning, and even Licencing) replacing them with more recent machines.
