IBM DS8000 and IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) End of Service Announcement – January 31, 2023
End of Service
Periodically, IBM provides notice to customers of plans to terminate services for IBM machines under an IBM Agreement. At this time, we are providing notice that selected machine types, models, and features will be discontinued from maintenance services.
Replacement options
To assist in transition planning for the announced products for End of Service (EOS), the Resources for IBM Storage website provides clients with details on IBM Storage Systems offerings.
You can work with our specialist IBM Storage team for specific replacement recommendations.
Limited support options
After the EOS effective date, IBM will no longer offer full hardware maintenance service for the listed machine types. If available, clients will continue to receive limited hardware maintenance service as described in the “Withdrawal” section of your terms with IBM, without lapse in coverage, for select machine types.
