Just curious... do the vendors who charge fees by capacity take the
zAAP processor into consideration?

Ed,
IBM does recommend checking with your vendor, but there are no software
charges as zAAP engine is JAVA specific. Now if you're vendor
software is
JAVA based, I'd guess you may need to pay for zAAP capacity.
The hardware cost is $125/K per zAAP engine.

Paul,
I was thinking more of an ISV charging for it. Its still pretty new (at
least to me) so my thoughts are they (the ISVs) will be lurking around
and maybe testing the waters.
I am sure that the first to charge for it will raise a stink in the
community. But they may just use a small no name company to see what
they can get away with.
I have a guess on which ISV will do it first, but who knows the company
with deep pockets running Oricle might be the test case.
