Keeping Up with EOSL: Ensuring Your IT Infrastructure Remains Robust

Understanding End-of-Service-Life (EOSL) is critical for maintaining a robust and secure IT infrastructure. This page explains what EOSL means, how it differs from End-of-Life (EOL), and how to navigate this crucial phase.

What is EOSL?

EOSL marks the point at which a manufacturer ceases all support, maintenance, and updates for a product. This occurs after the End-of-Life (EOL) stage, when the manufacturer stops producing the product.

EOSL vs. EOL: What's the Difference?

• EOL (End-of-Life): The manufacturer stops producing the product but may still provide limited support.
• EOSL (End-of-Service-Life): All manufacturer support, including updates and maintenance, is discontinued.

The Importance of EOSL in Your Organization

When your hardware reaches EOSL, it may experience:

• Reduced performance
• Increased security vulnerabilities
• Compatibility issues
• Limited memory or storage capacity

Finding Your EOSL Date

You can find your hardware's EOSL date by:

• Checking the manufacturer's website
• Contacting the manufacturer directly
• Utilizing our database to search your OEM

Extending the Life of Your Equipment

Replacing equipment at EOSL can be costly and disruptive. A more cost-effective solution is to leverage third-party maintenance (TPM) services.
