System stability and manageability is important to our customers and our internal team. One of the ways that we ensure stability is by regularly reviewing our current hardware and software offerings and testing to ensure optimal reliability. From time to time that requires us to remove support for existing technologies.
Products reach their end of support for a number of reasons:
> Diminished demand from existing and new customers
> Product has been superseded by a newer version
> Manufacturer support is no longer available
> Streamlining and standardization of offerings
> Compatibility with new hardware
Products are typically depreciated according to the following schedule*:
