Region-controlled compute, free egress, reserved pricing for grant cycles.
Research institutions and non-profits running publicly funded workloads need a vendor satisfying grant-residency and procurement requirements. ZCP supports those constraints, bills in CAD, and charges nothing for ingress or egress.
Region selection for grant residency
Many federal and provincial research grants require data residency in a specific jurisdiction. Pick the ZCP region satisfying the requirement. Residency is enforced at the infrastructure layer.
Independently held operator
ZSoftly Technologies Inc. is independently held with no foreign parent. Useful for grants and programs screening for vendor ownership structure.
Free egress for collaboration
Transfer data between collaborating institutions and research partners without per-GB egress charges. Ingress and egress are free and unmetered across all services.
Reserved pricing for grant cycles
