https://community.hpe.com/t5/storeonce-backup-storage/vls1002i-eol/m-p/4286414#M209 Hello everybody<BR /><BR />I've recently acquired a VLS1002i which is quite a new product since I remember it apearing on the HP site begining of this year. I thought it's a good solution for a branch-office of ours.<BR /><BR />But now I don't seem to find it anywhere on the site by browsing, only a few newer D2D systems with higher capacity and even a deduplication feature.<BR /><BR />That would be quite a slap in the face for SMBs who invested in this VLS product if it really were End-Of-Life already!<BR />I'd expect further enhancements/developments like deduplication and implementation of the 2nd network port and maybe also a capacity expansion path...<BR /><BR />anybody else in the same situation?<BR />sorry for venting a bit<BR /><BR />regards<BR />Lyndon Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:13:57 GMT Lyndon Frei 2008-10-14T08:13:57Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/storeonce-backup-storage/vls1002i-eol/m-p/4286414#M209 Hello everybody<BR /><BR />I've recently acquired a VLS1002i which is quite a new product since I remember it apearing on the HP site begining of this year.

It has been around for more than just the past 9 months.<BR /><BR />I would like to see a way to upgrade the hard drives though.<BR /><BR /><BR />Steven Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:00:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/storeonce-backup-storage/vls1002i-eol/m-p/4286415#M210 Steven Clementi 2008-10-14T12:00:44Z
