About NetBackup end-of-life notifications
Cohesity is committed to providing the best possible data protection experience for the widest variety of systems: platforms, operating systems, CPU architecture, databases, applications, and hardware. Cohesity continuously reviews NetBackup system support. This review ensures that the proper balance is made between maintaining support for existing versions of products, while also introducing new support for the following:
General availability releases
Latest versions of new software and hardware
New NetBackup features and functionality
While Cohesity continually adds support for new features and systems, it may be necessary to improve, replace, or remove certain support in NetBackup. These support actions may affect older and lesser-used features and functionality. The affected features and functionality may include support for software, OS, databases, applications, hardware, and 3rd-party product integration. Other affected items may include the products that are no longer supported or nearing their end-of-support life with their manufacturer.
Cohesity provides advance notification to better help its customers to plan for upcoming changes to the support status of the various features in NetBackup. Cohesity intends to list older product functionality, features, systems, and the 3rd-party software products that are no longer supported in the next release of NetBackup. Cohesity makes these support listings available as soon as possible with a minimum of 6 months where feasible before major releases.
Advance notification of future platform and feature support including end-of-life (EOL) information is available through a widget on the Cohesity Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) for NetBackup home page. The NetBackup Future Platform and Feature Plans widget on the SORT for NetBackup home page can be found directly at the following location:
