CRAP - I have a feeling that it's worse than MS solutions.... Check:
https://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html

There is no Advanced Server Option - so everything is purchased
separately: Clustering, Load-Balancing, HA...
First you buy RHEL Support in avg.: $1600

and then you Add options you need:

High Availability            $399/socket-pair
Load Balancer        $199/socket-pair
Resilient Storage            $799/socket-pair
Scalable File System    $199/socket-pair
High Performance Network $199/socket-pair
Smart Management     $547

now multiply the sum with number of your servers ...

RH shot itself in the foot....

Krzysztof
