Not exactly. E.g. gluster is a for-pay RHEL add-on. There's some kind of
gluster rpm in Centos but it's pretty much disfunctional: you have to
remove that, add the upstream gluster repo and get your gluster from there.

More or less. IRL they apparently shine on top of a 10Gb network. Or
better, three 10Gb networks. DRBD works just fine over a crossover piece
of cat-5e.

Oh, it's a pure speculation on my part. Any resemblance to the actual
RedHat is purely coincidental and all that. ;)
