Hi Del, We use Solaris Sparc, and it was clear for me that this is fully supported until the end of this year, but what happens if a newer OS release will come next year and the client will not work anymore, please.
I got the information from the support team that we can buy extended support, but this means more in case of a failure they will try to help, but there will be no development on this client anymore.... It might be wrong, but with this statement, I cannot backup production data anymore. thanks regards <http://www.verizon.com> *Michael Stahlberg* Engineer IV Consultant - Network Eng & Ops Server & Services Management International -* Global Operations | Verizon* Wireline Network Tel: +49 231 972 0 | Cell: +49 231 972 0 Am Fr., 23.
