What happens after EOSL?

When your IBM-LENOVO x226 (8648, 8488) reaches End of Service Life (EOSL), the OEM typically stops providing technical support, patches, firmware updates, and spare parts. However, that doesn't mean the hardware is obsolete. With Evernex third-party maintenance, you avoid downtime, data loss, and unplanned refresh cycles. We help you secure a stable post-EOSL lifecycle — without vendor lock-in.
