I dont have physical access to the machine simply cause its 1800 miles away lol but is it possible to boot an ISO after you mount it in CentOS, If so how exactly?

What are you exactly trying to do? Reinstall the OS?

No. Experimenting with virtual software...vmware products specifically

Do you want to boot your physical machine from an ISO image, or the vmware machine?

I was looking to install the software since I have no physical access to the server. VMware Server is running right now and I wanted to try out ESXi. Server was easy to install and configure. ESXi has two packages, the ISO and Binary. Binary one errors...

Hi!
There are some servers that support remote ISO image, but I believe it can be really slow over the Internet (iLO , I believe, on HP models), if you have one of these: it will work, if no... well..... Isn't there someone on the DC that can burn the ISO and put that on the CD drive on the server? (maybe if you ask nicely ) Also, I assume you already have KVM/IP or something like that, right?
I hope this helps,
