Helpful Q2 EOSL Dates for Your Enterprise Servers, Storage & Network Assets

By Brian Kjera, Top Gun

It’s April and Spring is Here…or at least very nearby!

End-of Service Life (EOSL) dates are integral to containing hardware support costs and being attentive to your hardware support renewals. OEMs often and automatically increase maintenance support costs when hardware reaches EOSL, even higher OEM pricing for assets past End-of-Support (EoS). You ought to be able to retire hardware and choose the upgrade when it makes sense for your business requirements and NOT be penalized for delaying the tech refresh.

The hardware models below will reach manufacturers’ End-of-Service Life (EOSL) in Q2. After these dates, the OEM will no longer provide reasonably priced support or refuse support altogether.

Get the most value from your data center hardware by engaging Top Gun to help you accelerate IT projects and tackle asset lifecycle changes, as and how you choose.
