desupported dates

[dave broome_1]

We are currenly considering the 10.20 to 11i move. I just need a bit of information for my boss.
1. Is there a 11i de-supported date yet?
2. Do HP de-support hardware? We have a D370 and a D330, are either of these likely to be desupportd?

As always, any help is appreciated.

The 32 bit is a requirement for the D330 while the D370 has an option for either:

This is from a document link supplied by Harry Brown Jr. at the forum discussion. The hardware end of life dates you asked about were listed as:

D330 January 31, 2006
D370 May 31, 2005

The discussion is at:

As mentionned in the discussion the excel doc is from June 2001 but it at least gives an idea what HP is thinking.

You may be able to get the current info/dates from HP contracts admin.

Good luck,
Ian
