HP is still listing it currently:

I believe that means it's not obsolete.

Hi,

UK information in Salesbuilder reports that this model is obsolete. I assume that because the Salesbuilder is EMEA specific that it includes Tunisia. If you really want one, you could try remarketed.

Suggest using rx7640 as a replacement.

The server rx7620 is NOT obsolete. When you say "Obsolete" it means "end of support" & "end of Guaranteed minimum support" from HP. Take a look at this HP's worldwide website link http://h71028.www7.hp.com/hpux11i/downloads/public_hp-ux_systems_support.pdf
which shows the "TBD" even for "End of sales/ CPL removal". I would suggest to call local HP Sales team and confirm about it. However I think you are good to buy one.

Hi,

The definition I meant was that the sales definition of obsolete, and certainly did not mean to imply that the product not covered by support and warranties.

The information I gave is what the HP product "Salesbuilder" shows as of 1st November 2007 and it states that it is "Obs" - i.e. no longer orderable from HP. This information is only applicable to the EMEA area and the servers maybe available in Asia and/or Americas.

There may also be some of the rx7620 still available for purchase from those dealers that hold stock, but if you need to place the order with HP it is a non starter.

The only caveat, would be if someone at HP has made an error in the salesbuilder product database for the last month.

I will find out for sure from HP directly but the response may take upto 48 hours.

Watch this space.

Mike.

Hi,

Just for the record, the position from HP for the EMEA area (Europe, Middle East & Africa) is that the rx7620 is no longer available to purchase.

This information comes from HP.
