Dell Connectrix (ANCOR) End-of-Life & EOSL Dates

PAST VENDOR SUPPORTDell ended support in June 2006.

Dell Connectrix (ANCOR) — san switch. End-of-sale (Dell EOL) and end-of-standard-support (EOSS) dates from Dell’s published End-of-Life list (Dell KB 000185734).

Every tracked Dell Connectrix (ANCOR) SKU group is past Dell end of service life (last group Jun 2006). Units in production should be treated as unsupported. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure.
