As you likely already know System Center 2012 combines 5 older products into one new product. So System Center Virtual Machine Manager SCVMM, no longer exists as a standalone product.
The difference between SC 2012 DataCenter and SC 2012 Standard boils down to just two things:
- Money: Datacenter is about $4000 and Standard is about $1500
- Virtual Machines: Datacenter supports unlimited VM’s but Standard only supports 2
