You want on-prem, you get on-prem.
Most asset owners don’t like the idea of having their confidential OT asset data stored in the public Cloud. That’s why we sell on-prem licenses, plain and simple.
On-prem doesn’t necessarily mean bare metal. Rather than installing OTbase in your data center, you can also deploy in your company’s private Cloud using AWS, Azure, etc.
Volume based licensing
OTbase is licensed based on volume. You pay for the number of digital devices, regardless of the number of users, networks, or sites.
License fee per device degrades with the number of devices. The more devices you manage with OTbase, the lower the cost per device. Best of all, if you manage multiple sites with OTbase, license fees are calculated based on the cummulative number of devices, not based on the number of devices per site.
Available license plans
Perpetual on-premise license (CAPEX spending)
By purchasing a perpetual license, you have the right to use the software indefinitely. License cost is paid upfront.
Technical support and access to version upgrades is sold separately and is mandatory for the first year. After the end of the first year, you have the option to purchase yearly ongoing maintenance and support.
Note — this license plan will no longer be offered in 2024
Annual on-premise subscription (OPEX spending)
With an annual subscription, you pay to use the software on premise for one year with the right to renew at the end of the period.
During the term of your subscription, you get technical support and access to version upgrades. The cost of the subscription is less than the upfront cost of a perpetual license; however, at the expiration of the term, you no longer have the right to use the software.
Services
You can choose between two levels of technical assistance: Regular software maintenance and Concierge Service.
Regular software maintenance
Regular software maintenance gives you access to the OTbase ticket system where you can enter technical questions, bug reports, feature requests and more.
Regular software maintenance also includes free software updates for the product components you have licensed.
When you choose the annual subscription license plan, regular software maintenance is already included.
Concierge Service
Concierge Service can be purchased as an add-on to regular software maintenance. It gives you access to a technical account manager that provides personalized assistance with your OTbase rollout and implementation, including:
- Guidance on how to design your metadata structures such as geolocations
- Guidance on where and how to deploy OTbase Discovery nodes
- Hands-on help for writing custom Python scripts for importing existing metadata from Excel table etc.
Concierge Service also includes weekly web meetings where you can discuss pertinent questions and problems.
