End-of-Life: Ipanema platforms (July 2009)

Ipanema has announced that some of their hardware platforms are .

The End-Of-Life brochure available on their website lists the devices that are End-of-Life. The platforms will have a three-year end-of-support process, so are viable until three years from now.

The platforms concerned are:

ip|e1800T  replaced by ip|e1800axT
ip|e1800Sx replaced by ip|e1800axSx
ip|e1000T  replaced by ip|e1000axT
ip|e1000Sx replaced by ip|e1000axSx
ip|e140    replaced by ip|e140ax
ip|e120v2  replaced by ip|e120ax

This also marks the End of Life for the SALSA software version 4.3, and you should move to SALSA version 5.1 (unless you're on a service provider's platform, in which case, you're likely to remain on version 4.4 for a little while until your service provider qualifies 5.1 at scale).

New features available in the SALSA software will not necessarily work unless you have the right ip|engines to support it. For example, disk-based data compression will need a hard-disk equipped ip|engine (designated with an ax suffix).

Update: Links changed to reflect InfoVista purchase of Ipanema.
