EoS/EoL for the Cisco Sun Netra 1400/1405 Servers [Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch]

END-OF-LIFE NOTICE, NO. 2470

Cisco Systems® announces the End-of-Life and End-of-Sale of the Cisco® Sun Netra 1400/1405 servers for use with the PGW 2200 Softswitch and SC 2200 Signaling Controller. The last day to order the Sun Netra 1400/1405 through Cisco will be November 10, 2003. Table 1 describes the End-of-Life milestones, definitions, and dates for the Cisco Sun Netra 1400/1405. This announcement only applies to customers that procure the Sun Netra 1400/1405 hardware platforms through Cisco and does not affect the availability of Cisco PGW 2200 or SC 2200 software.

Due to Sun's End-of-Life announcement of the Netra 1400/1405 and resulting Sun manufacturing and supplier issues with the memory and processors of the Sun 1400/1405, Cisco cannot guarantee the availability of these systems. Cisco has introduced the Sun Netra 20 as a replacement for the Netra 1400. The performance of Sun Netra 20 is equal to or greater than that of the Netra 1400. Any future orders or current quotes should be changed to the Netra 20 hardware platform.

Any new orders for the SC 2200 version 7.4.12 that require additional Sun hardware should be changed to the PGW version 9.3(2). Port expansion orders for the SC 2200 version 7.4.12 will still be honored through the lifecycle of the software.
