Judging by your comment, I'm assuming you mean you have the free VMWare Server edition which runs on top of an underlying OS? If you obtain one of the bare metal versions, ESX (costs $) or ESXi (free), you can migrate your VM's to this platform. Virtual Center would then be worth considering to use advanced features like VMotion (live migration), High Availability, or DRS. It's definitely worth it if you'll use these features. As far as licensing, you'll have to check with your vendor, but I believe you do need to upgrade to enterprise licensing. Hope that helps.

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,

Race has begun, and that's good news for system administrators :-) It seems VMWare is little bit better, but soon Windows Server 2008 R2 comes on the market, with improved Hyper-V.
