So much for N-1 support.
Sounds like we all must upgrade to version 12 for security fixes.

Saw that this morning. I'm curious of the PRI/VCM hardware obsolescence and what that means. I don't have many systems with PRI anymore, but there are a few out there.

Thanks for posting this not everyone gets the notifications but this is something people that work with Avaya IPO should be aware of.

I am with biv343 and curious on what hardware they scrap. PRI/VCM maybe they take off the old VCM1 with PRI on top or all VCM1 .... we will see soon.

They announce 27th June so mid July I guess

The upgrade process for R12 should be interesting when that gets published. I only have a few SE systems left (Avaya is winding down in my patch), and all are still on 11.0.4. I have two essential edition systems on 11.1 but that was due to the 500V2A requirement.

PRI(as well as BRI and PSTN) are being switched off here in the UK by 2025 but how are things in other markets?

I guess some sites have upgraded to SIP trunks but others have gone hosted.

VCM1 has been end of sale for a few years but perhaps support will be dropped.

I guess Avaya did themselves not a big favour with their "we go all cloud" idiocy
We have not sold a new Avaya system in a long time because we were not sure where they go from here. We installed a ton of other brands and Avaya would have been double the price but I have to also say that they are better for the end users. I like the programming variety of our other brands but the user experience is unmatched.

I also guess that they finally terminate VCM1 so that they can force customers to buy new hardware if they upgrade.

„IP Office 12.0 will be based on Rocky Linux“

All the time they told us it would be RHEL as all other avaya systems. Now the user abborget fork…

Now RedHat announced that they will restrict access to their sources so that it will harder to build a clone.

So who knows if IPO 12 will be based on Rocky Linux and 12.1 on another distribution…
