If someone is using any Microsoft products at all on a mission critical
server, they have bigger problems that no amount of redundancy will
correct IMO.
Postgresql requires no license, but one can purchase a professional
support contract from a 3rd party. It also doesn't suffer from the
severe lack-of-professional quality that deeply permeates every product
Microsoft has ever made.
On the other hand, Microsofts poor product quality has led me to some
interesting adventures. Yesterday Microsoft streets and trips directed
me to drive my 190D on a deeply rutted 4WD trail. I followed it for
several miles, hoping it would get better before my wife convinced me to
turn around. Who knew I could straddle and cross numerous 2 foot deep
ravines in a small European sedan without breaking anything?

Load balancing, mirroring, log shipping, clustering and/or

License for a Mirror server. The Datacenter edition of Windows allows
for any number of VM's to run on the box regardless of version. It is
licensed per processor.
