Q3-22 EOSL Dates for Your Enterprise Servers, Storage & Network Assets

By Brian Kjera, Top Gun

Many ITAM or IT Ops pros track hardware EOSL dates because, with proper use and at the right timing, this data can create negotiating leverage and support options during hardware support renewals.

Tracking EOSL dates is an invaluable task that optimizes support spend by helping users strategically plan refresh cycles based on business demands rather than allowing the OEM’s EOSL dates to dictate hardware changes. At Top Gun, we continuously review EOSL announcement dates to ensure our engineering support services are ready and available for companies that purposefully shift their post-warranty or EOSL hardware to our support. By leveraging EOSL data into your lifecycle planning, we believe you’ll be better prepared to transition your hardware maintenance to Top Gun and prevent unnecessary cost increases while your modernization strategies are focused elsewhere.

If your assets are post-warranty or have reached EOSL, talk to our team of world-class engineers or product managers to help optimize your operational performance while maintaining system availability. Feel free to subscribe to our regular EOSL Updates Email.

The hardware models displayed below will soon reach the manufacturers’ End-of-Service Life (EOSL). After these dates, the OEM will no longer provide reasonably priced support or may refuse any support options.
