It becomes a real time saver, in addition to the functionality it brings with it. Whether or not it's worth it for you is completely up to you and your company. If money were no object, then yes, buy it all! @shankyrhodes

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,

Fault Tolerance (FT) (formerly known as continuous availability) is more of a hot online DR type solution whereas HA is a limited downtime solution where VMs are recovered in the same Datacenter.
