F5 Networks EOSL Calendar — every milestone date, every active model
F5 hardware support renewal pricing on BIG-IP iSeries is high relative to the value delivered on stable application-delivery workloads. TPM economics dominate at year +3 post-EoS for shops not actively consuming new TMOS / BIG-IP feature releases. WUC supports all F5 platforms below indefinitely post-LDoS.

How to use this calendar
The 30-day fleet review procedure.
If you maintain a F5 Networks fleet of any size, this four-step pass yields a 36-month refresh-and-TPM roadmap.
- 1
Pull asset inventory
Export your F5 Networks fleet from CMDB / spreadsheet / OEM portal. Minimum columns: serial number, model, install date, support contract end date.
- 2
Map against this calendar
Cross-reference each model against the table above. Flag every unit where LDoS lands within your refresh planning horizon (typically 18–36 months).
- 3
Bucket by economics
For each model bucket: refresh-now (year +1), refresh-soon (year +2), TPM-and-hold (LDoS +1 or beyond), evaluate-app-stack (LDoS dependent on application lifecycle).
- 4
Cost-compare per bucket
For TPM-and-hold gear, compare current OEM renewal cost vs WUC TPM quote vs replacement TCO. The math typically favors TPM at LDoS minus 12 months and beyond.
Run your F5 Networks renewal numbers against a real alternative.
Bring four data points to a 60-minute call and we'll map your F5 Networks fleet sequence:
- Current F5 Networks asset count
- Annual OEM maintenance spend
- Contract anniversary distribution
- Asset visibility state (CMDB, spreadsheet, none)
