What is EOSL and why it matters?
When your SUN equipment reach End-of-Life (EOL) or End-of-Service-Life (EOSL), the original equipment manufacturer usually stops providing technical support, patches, firmware updates, and spare parts. But your equipment can remain fully operational beyond that point.
Evernex provides multi-vendor support, rapid SLA-based intervention, and access to over 3,4 million spare parts — independent of OEM constraints. Choosing Evernex Third Party Maintenance (TPM) after EOSL means retaining control over your infrastructure, your budget, and your long-term IT roadmap.

Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. The merged company provides businesses across the world with reliable, scalable server solutions.
At these systems’ End of Service Life (EOSL), the manufacturer (OEM) ends all support. However, with proper TPM services, you can keep your server in top condition for years.
Evernex supports all Sun Oracle hardware products, even those past their EOSL. Server models include:

Sun was a significant provider of storage and server solutions before its purchase by Oracle. Since then, Oracle has used Sun's collection to build a solid range of enterprise storage devices.
When storage products reach their EOSL, businesses may face risks to their data security, operational efficiency and legal compliance. Evernex supports legacy and post-EOSL Sun Oracle storage devices, keeping your business data safe and compliant:
| Series | Description |
|---|---|
| StoreEdge 99x Systems | SAN storage systems with redundant controllers, cache memory, advanced storage virtualization features and RAID configurations. |
| Storage / Storage Tek 6000 Arrays | Fibre Channel SAN storage featuring RAID support. |
| Storage 2500 Arrays | Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN storage arrays with RAID, dual-controller options, hot-swappable components. |
| Storage J4000 | JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) and direct-attached storage (DAS) with SAS/SATA drives. |
| StoreEdge 3000 Arrays | SCSI or Fibre Channel disk arrays with hot-swappable drives, RAID and (in some models) redundant controllers. |
Oracle’s tape library range provides scalable, secure offline storage for back-up and data archiving.
To keep your business’s data safe and legally compliant, it is vital for the storage device to receive regular, specialized support. Evernex’s IT lifecycle management solutions provide top-quality support for all Sun Oracle tape libraries, even post-EOSL. The main lines we support include:
