What changes at EOSL
The PowerVault MD3800i keeps working. Dell just stops answering.
End of service life is the date Dell stops selling support contracts for the PowerVault MD3800i. It is a commercial decision, not a technical one. The storage still runs, its failure modes are well documented, and spares are available on the secondary market.
We keep PowerVault MD3800i spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past March 31, 2019 with in-house L3+ engineers 24/7/365, a 4-hour on-site SLA, and month-to-month terms. Most customers use that window to refresh on their own schedule instead of Dell's.
End of ship 2014-03-31; same date applies to MD3800F/MD3820i/MD3820F/MD3860i/MD3860F; Park Place + ReluTech + Smart3rdParty
