We have two servers running VMware Standard edition. Do you believe it will be worth it? Or do we have to upgrade our VMware licenses to Enterprise before upgrading virtual center to make it worth it. I had just read the following article <a href="http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-vmware/vmware-virtual-server-virtualization-vmware/virtualcenter-for-vm-ware-server-real-value.html" rel="nofollow"> VMware virtual center real value </a> Hi,

Would it be worth it to purchase Virtual center If I don't upgrade my VI3 from standard to Enterprise. The post above cheered me up a lot into buying it, but it did not mention what it will give & not give in standard edition. http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-vmware/vmware-virtual-server-virtualization-vmware/virtualcenter-for-vm-ware-server-real-value.html Does it really worth it that much to purchase Virtual Center?
