Server Retirement and Driver / Software Support

Hi

I have a number of HP DL based servers that have now been retired by HP.  I assume that for HP, retired means End of Sale.

I have noticed that drivers and management software however continues to be updated.  So my question is, for how much longer after product retirement do HP to continue to support and update their software?  IS there a date, or as long as the OS you are running on the server is supported on both the hardware by HP and the vendor, they will continue to update the software.

 

Thanks

Julian
