BROCADE END OF SERVICE LIFE LIST
Brocade hardware reaches end of support for many reasons, and those lifecycle dates create disruptive challenges in an optimized infrastructure environment for IT managers. To best assist Brocade customers in the transition, Top Gun has provided a streamlined overview of all end of life hardware below.
Understanding Brocade End of Service Life (EOSL)
Brocade End of Service Life (EOSL) dates published indicate that hardware support offerings from Brocade Premiere Support will be available up until that day. These EOSL dates are five (5) years from the Last Customer Ship (LCS) announcements. An LCS is the last day hardware was available to ship and follow a Brocade Last Time to Order (LTO) date. Other manufacturers often refer to these as End of Life (EOL) dates.
Identifying a Brocade End of Life (EOL) Date
Brocade End of Life (EOL) is the last day Brocade will accept purchases for that platform. Brocade continues to extend Premier Support for post-EOL hardware, and Brocade will designate one more software release that will be supported for five (5) years after the LCS date.

BROCADE STORAGE FAQ
The TGT Mission Critical Platform will implement service efficiencies which drive down expense year over year within your environment, yielding significant economic gain while retaining continuity and consistency across your facilities.
As a standard part of our hardware maintenance support, we include remedial software support. Our software support model is best described as Software Break/Fix. The support requires the client has a licensed product and it is functional. Excluded from support are administrative activities like setup or configuration of the software product for the client.
“OEM support spending can be reduced by leveraging a blend of OEM and TPM maintenance together in a hybrid solution,” says Tenneson. “TPM contracts will offer customers an average of 60% savings off OEM support list prices.” Gartner August 2017
Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) helps extend the life of your assets instead of replacing your hardware post warranty. When the OEM no longer supports its storage, server, or network hardware, TPM companies help clients avoid unnecessary technology refreshes to yield significant economic gain while retaining continuity and consistency across facilities.
At Top Gun, our Mission Critical Support Platform delivers three key business benefits: (1) Improved performance (2) Increased value (3) a better personal and digital experience. Driving down costs and improving performance is not mutually exclusive. Our services drive system availability. Especially in big data environments, where storage and computing availability serve as the backbone of the business.
THE TOP GUN DIFFERENCE.
Powered by ServiceNow, Top Gun Technology provides TPM 2.0™ maintenance services that are uniquely designed to deliver the highest quality of infrastructure support for mission critical operations.
