Dell EMC VxRail End of Support: Dates and Your Options
Dell EMC VxRail end of service life dates: 15G: E660, P670, V670, S670 and later on Jun 30, 2030; 14G: E560, P570, V570, S570, D560, G560, P580N on Sep 30, 2027; 13G: E460, P470, V470, S470 on May 31, 2023; Original appliances: 60, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, G410 and Q-chassis on Sep 30, 2022; Earlier models on May 31, 2031. 18 of the 61 dated models are already past OEM support and 13 reach it within the next 12 months. Third-party maintenance keeps every one of these nodes supported for 5+ years past the OEM date, typically 40-70% below the renewal, across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Why Dell EMC VxRail nodes are still in production
VxRail is the Dell-built, VMware-integrated HCI appliance: PowerEdge nodes with vSAN, vCenter and lifecycle management packaged as one system. Thousands of 14G clusters went in between 2018 and 2021 and most are still carrying production workloads.
Two clocks are running on those clusters. Dell's hardware end of service life for the node generation, and the separate commercial question of VMware licensing under Broadcom. Neither requires the other to end: the hardware can be maintained independently of whatever you decide about the software.
What changes on the end of service life date
- Dell stops selling ProSupport renewals for the node generation and stops publishing VxRail software bundles that include it.
- Node, drive, cache, NIC and power supply replacements have to come from outside Dell.
- vSAN and vCenter keep running on the release you are on; VxRail Manager lifecycle updates stop for that generation.
The nodes themselves do not change. The OEM's willingness to sell support ends, and the renewals leading up to that date are usually priced to make a refresh look attractive.
Your three options
1. Refresh with the OEM
Dell's path is a new VxRail generation on current PowerEdge nodes, which also means a new VMware subscription. The right answer when the nodes are at capacity, limiting applications, or the budget cycle has the money anyway. The wrong answer when they are doing their job quietly: a refresh buys newer hardware and another support term at a capital cost that usually exceeds several years of maintenance on what you have.
2. Extend with the OEM to the last date
Possible up to the end of service life date and occasionally beyond under a limited arrangement. The problem is price: final-years renewals are where OEMs recover margin, and each one tends to cost more than the last for the same coverage. It also leaves the deadline in place.
3. Third-party maintenance
Replaces the OEM contract with ours and removes the deadline. For Dell EMC VxRail nodes that means:
- Hardware coverage needs no VMware or Broadcom contract. We maintain the nodes as PowerEdge servers: spares for drives, cache SSDs, NICs, controllers and power supplies, with 4-hour or next-business-day onsite response.
- Clusters bridging to a migration can be covered month to month; clusters staying put get multi-year pricing.
- 24x7 support desk. Engineers on call around the clock, with a named escalation owner for every contract.
- 4-hour onsite in major metros. Four-hour onsite response available in major metro areas; next-business-day everywhere else we cover.
- Spares held for every model we quote. Global parts logistics with forward-stocked spares, so a replacement part is already on its way when you call.
- 5+ years past end of service life. We keep hardware supported long after the OEM date, on your retirement schedule rather than theirs.

Dell EMC VxRail end of support: frequently asked questions
When does Dell EMC VxRail reach end of support?
15G: E660, P670, V670, S670 and later: Jun 30, 2030. 14G: E560, P570, V570, S570, D560, G560, P580N: Sep 30, 2027. 13G: E460, P470, V470, S470: May 31, 2023. Original appliances: 60, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, G410 and Q-chassis: Sep 30, 2022. Earlier models: May 31, 2031. The full list of 61 dated models is on this page, each linking to its own support page and quote form.
Can we keep VxRail hardware supported without a Broadcom VMware contract?
Yes. Third-party hardware maintenance is a contract on the physical nodes and has no dependency on VMware entitlement. The software stays on its current release under whatever support arrangement you choose.
What happens to VxRail Manager and lifecycle updates after EOSL?
Dell stops publishing bundles for that node generation. The cluster keeps running on its current software; patching becomes a manual or third-party-assisted activity rather than a one-click bundle.
How much does third-party maintenance for Dell EMC VxRail cost?
We return an indicative price for Dell EMC VxRail nodes within 24 hours and a firm quote within 48, per unit per year at the response level you choose, with multi-unit, multi-vendor and multi-year discounts.
How far ahead of the Dell EMC VxRail EOSL date should we decide?
Six to twelve months. That leaves time to compare the OEM's final renewal with third-party maintenance, decide whether to extend or refresh, and move coverage without a gap. The last OEM renewal before the date is usually the most expensive one.
