[CathP]

Can anyone please tell me what the end of life and end of support dates are for HP ProLiant DL380 G5 & HP ProLiant DL380 G7 Servers ?

HP may be able to give a more definitive answer, but one way to check is to view the QuickSpecs or Product Bulletin for the model you are interested in.

For example, search for DL380 G5  (I had to spell out "generation" in this case) and you get this:

Open the PDF or HTML page and look at the bottom of the document.  In this case I found:

 DA-12477 63 - Version 63 - September 23, 2010 --- Retired on November 30, 2009

This tells me that the EOL date was Nov 30, 1999.  EOSL date is typically 5 years later, so Nov 30, 2014.  The 5 year timeline isnt a hard fast rule though.
