EOL: EOL, or “End of Life,” means that the OEM will no longer be selling the product and will recommend a new system upgrade.
EOSL: EOSL, or “End of Service Life,” means that all support, including both primary and extended support options, have ended. It may still be possible to get support from the OEM after equipment has gone EOSL, but this will be at a premium cost.
EOA: EOA, or “End of Availability,” also means that the OEM will no longer be selling that product. If it is covered under support, you may still be able to get upgrades for a unit after it is EOA.
EOS:EOS, or “End of Support,” is also the date after which the OEM will no longer support the hardware or software for a product that has been discounted in an EOA notice.
Q: What are my options after my equipment has gone EOL, EOSL, EOA, or EOS?
It’s important to know that you still have options even after your hardware reaches a product lifecycle milestone. Don’t be pressured into a costly hardware refresh based on the OEM’s hardware upgrade schedule. Instead, extend the life of your server, storage, and networking environment by choosing a third party maintenance vendor. Some of TAM’s support offerings include:
