When is the Cisco UCSC-C24-M3S end of life?
Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the UCSC-C24-M3S effective May 1, 2015. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is Apr 30, 2020, after which Cisco no longer provides support. It is past its last date of support.
What replaces the Cisco UCSC-C24-M3S?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco UCS C240 M7 (UCSC-C240-M7SX). 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-C24-M3S?
Not from Cisco. The UCSC-C24-M3S passed its Last Date of Support (Apr 30, 2020), 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.
