Management Controller Life Cycle Patterns - Extended Data Pack 2025-Feb-1

This page lists all management controller products that have product life cycle date patterns included in the Extended Data Pack 2025-Feb-1. The list comprises of data for:

  • 18 vendors
  • 55 models

How Management Controller Life Cycle Patterns Can Help You

You can use management controller life cycle patterns to:

  • Identify management controllers that are exposed to security/stability risks as they are no longer supported by patch updates
  • Identify management controllers that you may be paying a premium maintenance subscription for
  • Identify management controllers that are no longer shipping so may increase costs and risks associated with variance

Product Life Cycle Terminology

The product life cycle dates include the following milestones that were made available and used by the vendor. Note some vendors use different terminology and definitions, in these cases, we have aligned to the closest matching definition.

  • End Of Life (EOL) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop shipping the particular model
  • End Of Support (EOS) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop providing patch updates for the particular model
  • End Of Extended Support (EOES) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop providing support for the particular model.

Management Controller Life Cycle Data Supported

Note

The following table lists all the models we support. We can not guarantee to have EOL data for every single model as such data may not have been made available from the vendors. Where missing, we have provided a failure message as to the reason why.
