What happens after EOSL?

When your IBM z9BC (2096-R07) 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 However, that doesn't mean the hardware is obsolete.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.
