End of Life Policy
Celestix is strongly committed to providing best-of-breed security appliances and services. Due to technology innovation and development driving changes in the products, Celestix will periodically announce End-of-Sale and End-of-Life lifecycle milestone information along with migration recommendations for our valued customers.
Once an End-of-Sale date is announced, you may continue to order products from your authorized Celestix reseller partner while limited stock is available. Customers with active Celestix support contracts will receive continued technical and limited software support until the End-of-Life.
