What changes at EOSL
The AFF A700 keeps working. NetApp just stops answering.
End of service life is the date NetApp stops selling support contracts for the AFF A700. 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 AFF A700 spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past November 30, 2028 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 NetApp's.
