DataPower Gateways Firmware Support Lifecycle

DataPower Gateways Firmware Support Lifecycle is listed below for reference.

Customers frequently ask on what is the support life cycle for most of the IBM based products and here is list of information gathered from IBM support site that was updated recently in a technote for IBM Websphere Datapower Gateway.

As mentioned in IBM technote,

IBM DataPower Gateways will provide a minimum of 2 years of support for each firmware release beginning at the general availability (GA) of the release. IBM DataPower Gateways will continue to support the latest three levels of its firmware even if some of those firmware levels have aged more than 2 years. We will make these releases and their latest updates available from our support webpage. Releases of the IBM DataPower Gateways firmware that are older than 2 years and are not within the three latest levels of firmware are subject to support withdrawal at any time. Customers will receive a 12-month notice of this withdrawal for planning purposes.

Also, a detailed information on Supported firmware versions and recommended levels for IBM DataPower Gateways products are listed in this Technote.
