VMware has discontinued Datrium\u2019s\u00a0hyperconverged infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0DVX hardware line \u201ceffective immediately\u201d a little over a month after acquiring the\u00a0disaster recovery<\/a>\u00a0specialist.<\/p>\n

Datrium will stop accepting orders of Datrium DVX hardware from new customers, with existing customers able to make additional purchases up to 31 October 2020, according to an email distributed to Datrium customers,\u00a0circulating on Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis \u2018last time buy\u2019 programme limits purchases to D12x10D, D12x4C and F24x2D hardware with the DaOS 5.1 operating system only. Existing customers can also renew support up to 31\u00a0October 2022, with a maximum support term ending a year later.<\/p>\n

Versions of the DaOS operating system earlier than DaOS 5.0, meanwhile, will no longer be supported by VMware beyond 31 October, meaning customers will have to upgrade their systems.<\/p>\n

Versions beyond DaOS 5.0 will be supported with critical functionality and security fixes, although customers should no longer expect any new features or added functionality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless otherwise agreed to under your maintenance and technical support terms with Datrium, we will continue to provide maintenance and technical support through the end of your current support services period (inclusive of existing support contracts that expire after Oct 31, 2023), which may be amended by Additional Purchases and Support Renewal Order as permitted above,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cDatrium DVX hardware support will be limited to the existing hardware configurations. Firmware fixes cannot be offered if the components are past end-of-support by the 3rd party component hardware vendor.\u201d<\/p>\n

VMware announced\u00a0plans to acquire the disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) provider<\/a>\u00a0in a bid to expand its current VMware Site Recovery portfolio in early July. Datrium has been insistent the integration of its technology and platforms into VMware\u2019s offerings will feed into efforts to help customers build hybrid clouds by combining the infrastructure of VMware Cloud with Datrium DRaaS.<\/p>\n

Although specialising in DRaaS, Datrium had long-hoped to\u00a0make waves in the hyperconverged infrastructure market<\/a>, especially with its DaOS operating system and DVX hardware. With its hardware being discontinued, and versions of the operating system before DaOS 5.0 no longer supported by the parent company, this will be a disappointment to customers who\u2019ve invested in Datrium\u2019s product ecosystem.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
