Another issue is that in HP-UX you’ll have to configure/maintain another layer of clusterware (like ServiceGuard), that then add to the total cost of the solution.

we had similar hardware proposals in 2010 (from HP) for Itanium/HPUX and x86_64/RHEL. The cost of the Itanium/HPUX solution was nearly 5x more expensive.

How does that work out license-wise? I know RHEL works as we have it here but I’m curious to know how you go with OEL.
