What changes at EOSL
The Power L922 (9008-22L) keeps working. IBM just stops answering.
End of service life is the date IBM stops selling support contracts for the Power L922 (9008-22L). It is a commercial decision, not a technical one. The server still runs, its failure modes are well documented, and spares are available on the secondary market.
We keep Power L922 (9008-22L) spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past January 31, 2026 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 IBM's.
