1. either look into RAC with SE or
2. look into Linux HA and/or Veritas Storage Foundation for 'failover' capabilities

If you're looking to 'save' $, you can look into 2yr or 3yr licenses
instead of 'perpetual'.. once again, call your reseller.. you can
mention that you saw 'RAC' advertised with 'One' edition.

Lastly, don't forget that Oracle XE is 'free' with 4G of data, but it can use only one CPU.. you should still be able to fail it over with free linux clustering of Veritas.
