McAfee announces End of Life (EOL) and End of Support (EOS) for the McAfee Web Security HP G8 scanning blade hardware effective June 30, 2021.
The scanning blade is one of many deployment options for the McAfee Web Gateway solution. McAfee continues to sell, support and actively develop other deployment options, including:
- McAfee Web Gateway deployed as a hardware appliance
- McAfee Web Gateway deployed as a virtual machine-based appliance
- McAfee Web Gateway supplied as a SaaS service
All these options are available to customers on the scanning blade after EOL is reached. McAfee recommends that all customers with G8 scanning blade hardware consider migrating to a supported solution before the EOL date to maintain support and take advantage of the latest product enhancements.
- EOL period—The time frame that runs from the day McAfee Enterprise announces product discontinuation, until the last date that McAfee Enterprise formally supports the product. In general, after the EOL period is announced, no enhancements are made.
- EOL date—The last day that the product is supported, according to the terms of the McAfee Enterprise standard support offering.
