Dates are the OEM end of service life as published in our catalog; where a generation has more than one date the range is shown. Every model is listed below.

Why Nutanix NX nodes are still in production

Nutanix NX appliances are Supermicro-built nodes sold and supported by Nutanix with AOS, AHV or ESXi, and Prism on top. The G6 and G7 generations were the volume years, and clusters of those nodes run everything from branch VDI to core databases.

Nutanix publishes a hardware end of life per generation. After it, the software subscription continues to be sold, but hardware support for the nodes does not. Customers are steered to replace nodes, often earlier than the hardware itself justifies.

What changes on the end of service life date

  • Nutanix hardware support for the node generation ends; AOS and Prism entitlements are unaffected but need current software subscriptions.
  • Node, drive, NVMe, memory, NIC and power supply replacements have to come from outside Nutanix.
  • Mixed-generation clusters are still permitted by AOS, so replacing one node at a time remains an option rather than a forklift.

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

Nutanix proposes current-generation NX nodes or a move to a different OEM platform under the same software. 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 Nutanix NX nodes that means:

  • We maintain NX nodes as the Supermicro-class servers they are: spares for drives, SSDs, NVMe, DIMMs, NICs and power supplies, with field engineers for onsite swaps.
  • Hardware cover is separate from your Nutanix software subscription, so you can keep AOS current with Nutanix while the hardware runs on your schedule.
  • 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.

Nutanix NX end of support: frequently asked questions

When does Nutanix NX reach end of support?

G9 (NX-1175S, NX-3035, NX-3060, NX-8150, NX-8170 G9): Oct 31, 2031. G8 (NX-1065, NX-3060, NX-3155G, NX-3170, NX-8035, NX-8150, NX-8155, NX-8170 G8): Jul 30, 2029. G7 (NX-1065, NX-1175S, NX-3060, NX-3155G, NX-3170, NX-8035, NX-8150, NX-8155, NX-8170 G7): Mar 30, 2027. G6 (NX-1065, NX-1175S, NX-3060, NX-3155G, NX-3170, NX-5155, NX-8035, NX-8155 G6): Jan 30, 2025. G5: Oct 30, 2023. G4: Feb 28, 2022. Earlier models: Feb 28, 2021. The full list of 77 dated models is on this page, each linking to its own support page and quote form.

Does third-party maintenance affect our Nutanix software support?

No. The software subscription with Nutanix continues independently. Third-party maintenance replaces only the hardware support portion for the node generation Nutanix no longer covers.

Can we buy refurbished NX nodes to expand or replace failed ones?

Often yes. Tell us the model and generation and we will quote supply as well as maintenance; we recently handled a request for three NX-8170 G9 nodes this way.

How much does third-party maintenance for Nutanix NX cost?

We return an indicative price for Nutanix NX 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 Nutanix NX 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.
