Product End of Life Link Roundup

You ever need find out if your product (hardware/software) is supportable or wonder why the maintenance costs are skyrocketing? The odds are your hardware or software is on the end of life list.

Here is a link round up of the public “end of life” (EOL) website listings for some IT vendors. If you are a consumer or vendor and would like to contribute a EOL or EOSL link to this, please email eol (at) itminddesign.com or leave a comment below.

Software:


Hardware:

*For some reason, Sun has two lists, one public and one more comprehensive if you have a support contract. Why make someone pay to see a vendors list of equipment on “death watch” is beyond me.

Sun Microsystems acquires MySQL

Monopoly Board

I’m sure many know that Sun Microsystems bought MySQL. Jonathan Schwartz gave some history of how the acquisition came about and answered some questions that many have been asking. You can find his blog at Jonathan Schwartz’s Blog: In a Vortex. I think it is a good move for Sun as they move from a proprietary hardware vendor to a open source software company.
