Hello,

Greetings!

Currently there is no specific dates available for the informatin that you requested. There is no specifc term End-of life.   End of Life (a phase in the Product lifecycle after the product is removed from the Corporate Product\Price List)

You will receive the support for the servers till the unit is standard warranty\Contract for the units.

HP may be able to give a more definitive answer, but one way to check is to view the QuickSpecs or Product Bulletin for the model you are interested in.

For example, search for DL380 G5  (I had to spell out "generation" in this case) and you get this:

Open the PDF or HTML page and look at the bottom of the document.  In this case I found:

 DA-12477 63 - Version 63 - September 23, 2010 --- Retired on November 30, 2009

This tells me that the EOL date was Nov 30, 1999.  EOSL date is typically 5 years later, so Nov 30, 2014.  The 5 year timeline isnt a hard fast rule though.

I hope that you find this information helpful.
