Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS) - End of Support August 30, 2015

[Dale d]

The attached is a PDF from HP that finally lays out some of their plans to kill this product.   They say "End of Support" isn't for 2 more years but they seem to be very much ahead of schedule as they seem to have stopped supporting it long ago.   They also mention that customer with active support contracts can take advantage of this offer,  we haven't been able to purchase support for 18 months or so.

Fun times,  time to move away from HP as they don't take customer care very seriously.

We said hell no to the price of ACA.  Are looking at using Transvault to restore our 20TB of stubs into Exchange archiving using a separate DAG for archive DBs.  Currently, we're on EAS 6.4.0.2 with Exchange 2010 SP2.

Well - that was to be expected...

 

 

this is the reason why we spent more than two years to develope the ngArchive Solution what is an E-Mail Archiving Tool what can replace EAS without Migration of Content. It is able to continue using of the existing document stores and also supports the EAS Stubs

 

We supporting several EAS Customer Worldwide and most of them wasnt able to get Support or even new licenses for a Long period of time. Also, new Customers wasnt able to get EAS for more than 1,5 years. If new Customers ask AU / HP, they only sell ACA - so it was overdue from HP to give this official Statement.

 

Anyway - EAS was a very good product and it was - from my perspective - one of the most innovative and clever product until AU buy Zantaz. I Worked with EAS since Version 3 - so "farewell old friend..." *sniff*

It will be interesting to see if they follow thru with releasing 6.4.1 now that they have made that announcement.

I have several customers who have Active support for EAS.  Support continues for the next two years and the patch release for Exchange 2013 is due out in the next couple of weeks and is still on track for that release time line.
