What changes at EOSL
The E5424 keeps working. NetApp just stops answering.
End of service life is the date NetApp stops selling support contracts for the E5424. 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 E5424 spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past January 28, 2021 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.
