Extend the Life of your Dell EMC VNX Series

1. Extended Life of Dell EMC VNX Series Dell EMC has moved its focus from the VNX Series storage to Unity for midrange storage. The Dell EMC VNX 5100, 5300, and 5300 were introduced in 2011. They will be ending their service life (EOSL) on December 31, 2020. Last year, Dell EMC ended support for VNX 5500- 5700 and 7500. Despite these announcements, many organizations have made significant investments in VNX storage systems and will continue to extend their asset lives for years to follow.
