Frequently asked

When is the HPE J9853A end of life?
HPE's published notice sets End-of-Sale for the J9853A at Sep 30, 2017. The published end-of-support date is Jan 30, 2022, after which vendor support ends. It is past its published support window — plan the refresh now.
What replaces the HPE J9853A?
HPE's notice names the Aruba 2540 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch as the recommended migration. Uniqcli can quote current replacement options against your install base, with TAA country-of-origin screening on request.
Can I still buy or get support for the J9853A?
New units are no longer sold by HPE after the End-of-Sale date; remaining channel stock and refurbished units are the only sources. Vendor support has ended (Jan 30, 2022), so security fixes and hardware replacement from HPE are no longer available. For a fleet still running this hardware, the practical next step is a refresh plan — request a quote and we will price the current replacement.
