The State of Enterprise Hardware End-of-Life — 2026

EOSL.ai tracks the vendor end-of-sale and end-of-service-life dates for 1160 hardware families — 6,669 part numbers across 10 vendors, every date linked to the manufacturer's own bulletin. Here is what that source-backed dataset shows about how much enterprise datacenter and network gear has passed vendor support.

How to read these figures. They describe the 1160 hardware families EOSL.ai tracks — a database that deliberately focuses on enterprise gear with a published or computed end-of-life date, so it over-represents retired hardware. These are not estimates of the global installed base. Every date links to the vendor's own end-of-life bulletin; nothing here is modelled or invented.

End-of-life data — questions

What percentage of enterprise hardware models are past end-of-service-life?

Of the 1160 enterprise hardware families EOSL.ai tracks, 73% (846) are past their vendor end-of-service-life date — every tracked SKU group is unsupported. This database focuses on gear with a published or computed end-of-life date, so it over-represents retired hardware; it is not a measure of the global installed base.

Which vendor has the most end-of-life hardware in the EOSL.ai database?

By tracked-family count, Fortinet has the most (415 families, 269 past EOSL). 10 vendors are tracked in total. See the per-vendor table above.

How many hardware models reach end-of-service-life in the next 12 months?

104 tracked families have at least one SKU group reaching end-of-service-life within 12 months. Each links to the vendor's own end-of-life bulletin.

Where does this end-of-life data come from?

Every date is taken from the vendor's official end-of-life bulletin and linked for verification; where a vendor publishes no per-model EOSL date, it is computed from their published support-life policy and labelled "computed". EOSL.ai tracks 6,669 part numbers across 1160 families and 10 vendors.
