Stay Ahead of EOSL Dates

Manufacturers are always trying to get you to buy their latest and greatest equipment. They do this by designating equipment End-of-Life and End-of-Support (meaning they will no longer sell or support it) well before it reaches the end of its true useful/functional life. But don’t worry, you have plenty of options that will enable you to keep the products you have built your infrastructure around in production for as long as you, not the OEM, choose. Retain control of your equipment refresh schedule and maximize the ROI on your investments with TriNet, our third-party maintenance program, even after the manufacturer has abandoned you.

EOSL, EOL & Support — FAQs

What is EOSL?

EOSL stands for End of Service Life; where hardware is no longer eligible for manufacturer support due to the age of the equipment. It does not mean that the equipment stops working or becomes defunct, but that you’re no longer able to access support directly from the manufacturer.

What is EOL?

EOL stands for End of Life and is the point at which a manufacturer determines its product to be no longer relevant, and so it ceases to manufacture, market or sell it. There may be service updates to the product after this date, but it is no longer available to purchase as new.

Can you support models after EOL/EOSL?

Yes — We stock parts and provide SLAs like 24 × 7 × 4 and 8 × 5 NBD across Dell, HPE, IBM, Cisco, Lenovo, and Supermicro.

Need a Break/Fix but not on contract?

Yes – We’ll repair, then add the asset to Tri-Net and credit diagnostics toward your first year if you convert within 30 days.
