Phase 2 - ZTEA Subscription
After phase 1 is complete, an organization continuing to use ZTEA would obtain a yearly-based ZTEA Subscription in order to receive continued licensed access to ZTEA, ZTEA code updates and technical support for ZTEA. The list price for a ZTEA Subscription is the following:
- The first 50 cores, of any type, or less is $5,000 USD
- Every core above 50 is either $20 or $30 per core, depending on the system tier of the core
- For any core above 50, $20 is the price for a core belonging to a small or medium tier system.
- For any core above 50, $30 is the price for a core belonging to a high tier system
- High tier systems examples are
- Power11: E1180
- Power10: E1080
- Power 9: E980
- Small and medium tier system examples:
- Power 10: 1050, 1024, 1022, 1014 (all systems except the 1080)
