Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server is sold on a per-socket pair basis. This means the following prices are for every 2 populated sockets in the server. For example, a 2-socket server with up to 1 guest and Premium support would cost $1,299USD per year, while a 4-socket server would cost twice that, or $2,598USD per year.

*All prices are in USD.

Notes:

  1. The following restrictions apply to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Self Support: A) It can not be purchased by a customer with a Technical Account Manager (TAM); B) It can only be purchased for 2-socket servers (not available for 4-socket or 8-socket servers); C) It can not have an add-on option layered on top of it (except for Smart Management).

  2. Virtual Guests may be pooled or shared on systems that have the same Support level (Standard or Premium) and same number of guests provided that you do not exceed the total number of Virtual Guests associated with the underlying Software Subscriptions.  NOTE: No mix of Standard and Premium SLA's or 1-guest, 4-guest and unlimited guest variants is possible within a cluster.

  3. Head Node support level is inherited by all the Compute Nodes in the high-performance cluster.

Add-on functionality
