Options from here
Unsupported nowThe HPE Arista 7050X 96XGT 8QSFP+ FB_BF AC Switches is past HPE end of service life. These are the paths teams take from here:
Keep it in production past the OEM cutoff with an independent maintainer.
Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market.
It is unsupported today — set a migration timeline and budget.
Low-criticality role — document the risk, harden backups, retire on your terms.
Independent and informational — EOSL.ai sells no hardware or maintenance and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the asset's role.
End-of-sale dates are taken from the HPE end-of-sale bulletin linked in each group. End-of-service-life is computed as end-of-sale + 5 years per HPE's published support-life policy — HPE does not publish a per-model EOSL date.
