2012 signals the End-of-Service-Life (EOSL) for a range of older Sun kit including some popular, widely installed Blade Server, Enterprise and Netra systems.
We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all the Sun equipment that’s scheduled to go EOSL this year. You may no longer be able to get manufacturer support for any of these systems so it’s crucial to have an alternative plan in place.
