Frequently asked questions
When is the Cisco HX240C-M4SX end of life?
Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the HX240C-M4SX effective Feb 14, 2019. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is Feb 29, 2024, after which Cisco no longer provides support. It is past its last date of support.
What replaces the Cisco HX240C-M4SX?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M5 Node. Uniqcli, an authorized Cisco partner, can quote the replacement TAA-compliant and GPC-payable, and help plan the cutover.
Can I still get support for the HX240C-M4SX?
Not from Cisco. The HX240C-M4SX passed its Last Date of Support (Feb 29, 2024), so Cisco TAC, hardware replacement, and SmartNet renewals are no longer available. Independent third-party maintenance can still cover the hardware itself, typically well below OEM renewal rates. Uniqcli can review your install base, confirm coverage, and quote extended support or a refresh side by side.
