Frequently asked questions
When is the Cisco UCSC-C220-M4L end of life?
Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the UCSC-C220-M4L 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 UCSC-C220-M4L?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server (LFF). 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 UCSC-C220-M4L?
Not from Cisco. The UCSC-C220-M4L 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.
