After the IBM date

What happens to IBM hardware at EOSL.

IBM stops selling support contracts for the model. Firmware and security updates stop. The hardware keeps running. Failure rates for a mature platform are known and stable, and the parts exist on the secondary market.

We hold spares for post-EOSL IBM equipment and support it for 3 to 5+ years past the OEM date with in-house L3+ engineers, a 4-hour on-site SLA, and month-to-month terms. Most customers use that window to refresh on their own schedule.
