Support outlook
No EOL announcedIBM has not announced end-of-sale or end-of-service-life for the IBM FlashSystem 9600, and nobody can tell you when it will. What can be shown is what IBM has actually done on the 478 of its products where both dates are published — longer than the 60-month norm — across every vendor in this database the median is 60 months, so IBM historically gives more warning than most.
This is IBM's published history on other products — not a prediction for the IBM FlashSystem 9600. EOSL.ai publishes a lifecycle date for this model only when IBM does, and this page changes the day that happens. Every pair behind these figures comes from a IBM bulletin linked on that product's own page. How this is measured →

Options from here
The IBM FlashSystem 9600 is still supported. Options to plan around, in rough priority:
Current product, fully supported — nothing to plan around.
Long runway ahead; fine for new deployments.
Stay on a supported software release.
We flag this page the moment the vendor announces end-of-life.
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.
