IIRC your $345 also gets you any new versions of RHEL that comes out. I would also ask if you really need that many copies of ES or would WS do for most of it (I mean heck, it has Apache even). You also have the choice of finding a third party to provide you support. I've seen on these lists a couple of places that are offering to support Valhalla after Red Hat EOLs it. -- William Hooper
