All the documentation I have found on DNFS refers generically to Oracle 11G with no exclusion of Standard Edition. (Exception: Configuring Oracle RAC with Standard Edition requires ASM storage). This could imply that a single instance database using DNFS can be configured with Oracle Standard Edition.
There is one unpublished bug covering DNFS with Oracle Standard Editionon Windows 6455284: DNFS NT: ORA-27300,ORA-27301,ORA-27302: FAILURE OCCURRED AT: SKGPALIVE and referred to in MyOS Document [ID 1378762.1].
There is also an older EMC whitepaper which states “Oracle 11g DNFS is a free product option that ships with the Standard Edition and Enterprise Editions”.

I can find no definitive statement from Oracle that DNFS is limited to Enterprise Edition except with Oracle RAC.
Here is the original whitepaper

Just to be sure I emailed the metaphorical horse mouth and Kevin Closson has confirmed it is available and supported.
