J8697A End of Software Updates

Hello,

How long will the J8697A or J8698A Switch be supplied with new software? Is there a planned end of service date?

Many thanks
Thomas

Hallo, 

Here you can find information about the HPE Networking Product End of Life.

SW support will  be provided until the End of Engineering Support date. This is basically 5 years after End of Sale date.

You can check here the End of Sales dates.

As far as I could see end of sales for the 5400 zl series is December 2015

http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/docs/products/eos/HP%205400zl%20EoS%20Announcement.pdf

So it should mean there will be new software at least until December 2020.
