Having a range of technology products supplied by different vendors can make it difficult to keep track of approaching end-of-support / end-of-life dates.
We understand that it can also be a time-consuming process for customers to find the lifecycle information they need amongst the multitude of information on vendor websites.
We have created this lifecycle information page to simplify monitoring multi-vendor product lifecycles for our customers. This resource will be updated quarterly.
Please note that we also publish alerts on our SABREX LinkedIn page of upcoming end-of-life events for vendor products listed below. Don’t forget to follow us to receive these reminders.
