I never did do a trial. I asked them for a cost and they didn't have an immediate answer, wanted to do a phone call and get a lot of information about my setup. The price apparently has a lot of variance based on the specific environment, so I didn't pursue it, figuring that the cost would be higher than my superiors are willing to pay. The only information I could find about the cost of Zing was a very recent Register article that had this to say: "Azul is similarly cagey about what a supported version of the Zing JVM costs, and only says that Zing costs around what a supported version of an Oracle, IBM, or Red Hat JVM will run enterprises and that it has an annual subscription model for Zing pricing. You can't easily get pricing for Oracle, IBM, or Red Hat JVMs, of course, so the comparison is accurate but perfectly useless." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/08/azul_systems_zing_lmax_exchange/ Thanks, Shawn
