Dell EMC SourceOne Migration

As legacy systems like Dell’s EMC SourceOne become outdated technologies, they are being retired, also known as End of Support (EOS).

For SourceOne, EOS will occur in December 2024.

When Software Reaches End of Support…

How might an EOS situation impact your organization's end users? Will your data be protected and remain compliant? What risk and burden might befall your legal and compliance teams?

Here’s what you can expect:

❌ The product will now be vulnerable to cyberattacks, security risks and bugs which will no longer be addressed, patched, or mitigated in any way by the vendor. Data breaches could occur.

❌ No new features or functionality will actively be developed rendering the software less useful as time goes on.

❌ Eventually, as other products that your organization uses continue to evolve, they may eventually not be compatible with EMC SourceOne.

❌ Some enterprise-sized organizations may negotiate extended support contracts, often at great expense, but general support and assistance will no longer be available.

❌ As the data volume you store in the unsupported archiving solution grows this will gradually lead to slower performance.
