We also want support contracts from our vendors. EOL boxes get removed from support availability within few years of the announcement.
Support, particularly software maintenance is indeed the key deadline, after that you're on your own. For EX this would be 2019 or 2021 depending on model, if that fits to your amortisation times, then it's fine. You may get more out of it, but you can't build business case on it.
Yup, exactly. There are things to keep around from used market for unimportant stuff (OOB etc), but software maintenance support on production box is key. James
