[cisco-voip] EOL on Cisco MCS vs HP/IBM hardware

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

...but those would be minimum requirements for a new install. I'm worried about maintaining servers for an existing install.

When we upgrade to v7 I don't want to consider an upgrade for 10 years. ;)

  Or until Cisco changes minimum requirements, which is most likely going
  to happen before your hardware goes EOL from the manufacturer.

  We would not announce EOL/S for non-Cisco branded servers.   Given  
  how long we support even our EOL gear the only hindrance to support  
  would be the availability of parts.  Since those come directly from  
  HP/IBM (even for MCS servers) I don't think there will be a  
  difference in how long you can replace the system board on your DL380  
  vs your MCS-7835.

  Does anyone know if Cisco has the same EOL statement on HP/IBM  
  hardware? I mean, I can probably keep an HP box on warranty for a  
  number of years and can realize higher returns on investment there.
