HP XP 20000 and 24000 array EOL

[cheesytime]

does anybody know the estimated end of life of both the XP 20000 and 24000?

I heard on the streets the XP 20000 is about to be discontinued, is that true?

Thank you in advance

EOSL (end of sales) may be true - for all the earlier Hitachi based XP Family line.


EOL - is still far far away. EOL means support ended with no moer fixes to firmware, etc but parts maystill be available at a premium or from the gray market.

Do you know the newest product already?

It is no longer called "xp", but P9500:
