hello, I am afraid exact answer doesn't exist. But generally HP supports servers 5 years after end of sale, then even more, it depends on installed base and yout support agreement.

You have to ask you HP representative if they are able to support your server, it depend on model. For example, DL385 g1 bought in summer 2006 are still under support if you pay, and will by supported at least one more year in our case.

On the other hand, support costs something and usually it is better to change server after 4-5 years for new model which cost less, is 10 times more powerfull / faster and eats less power/cooling than your old hw.. :)
