Know where your hardware stands before it becomes a risk

VendorFox maps your IT and OT hardware to official vendor lifecycle, firmware and advisory evidence - showing what is supported, what needs attention, and where action is required across your estate.

No agents. No scans. No credentials. No IPs. No network access.

1. Add your hardware models

Add model names manually, upload a list, or sync them from your CMDB, RMM, ITSM or asset data.

2. VendorFox builds the evidence

We map each model to vendor lifecycle dates, firmware guidance, security advisories and official source links.

3. See what needs attention

Get a prioritised view of unsupported hardware, firmware drift, advisory exposure and lifecycle risk - before it affects audits, renewals, service reviews or incident response.

From raw inventory to clear hardware actions.

Unsupported firewall

Palo Alto Networks PA-2050

Replace

Long past End-of-Support with no current vendor-backed maintenance position. Difficult to defend in an audit, assurance review, incident follow-up, renewal, or internal risk discussion.

Firmware drift

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24TD-L

Uplift

The hardware remains supportable, but the running IOS version is behind Cisco’s preferred terminal release. This is the kind of issue that should be visible before audit, renewal, or change planning.

Version uncertainty

Advisory exposure needs validation

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X

Validate

Relevant Cisco IOS advisories exist, but the estate only records a broad 15.2.x version. Exposure cannot be defended until the exact running image is confirmed.

Vendor-backed

	Device Type	Qty	End of Sale	Support Ends	Status	Runway	Source
	FortiGate 100E	25	17 Aug 2021	17 Aug 2026	Near end of support	<12 months	Fortinet
Vendor milestones First released 2017 End of sale 17 Aug 2021 End of support 17 Aug 2026 What this means Replacement planning is now time-sensitive. This is still supportable today, but the runway is short enough to affect renewals, budgets, supplier planning, and assurance conversations. Evidence note FortiGate 100E went end of sale on 2021-08-17, with support renewals allowed until 2025-08-17 and final support ending on 2026-08-17. You can no longer buy new units, but can keep renewing contracts only up to the Last Service Extension date and should plan hardware replacement before End of Support. These dates come directly from Fortinet’s lifecycle entry for this model — confidence is high. Fortinet Lifecycle Portal
	Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 24TD-L Switch	50	31 Oct 2022	31 Oct 2027	Supported	12–24 months	Cisco
Vendor milestones First released 2013 EoL announced 31 Oct 2020 End of sale 31 Oct 2022 End of support 31 Oct 2027 What this means Still supportable, but late-lifecycle. This should be visible in forward plans, especially where firmware baselines, advisory validation, or replacement funding may be challenged. Evidence note Lifecycle dates are taken from Cisco’s latest hardware EoL notice for this family, which defines the published end-of-sale and support milestones. The 2960-X family remains under the support timeline ending October 2027 — confidence is high. official Cisco bulletin
	Palo Alto Networks PA-2050	10	30 Apr 2015	30 Apr 2020	Past end of support	Ended	Palo Alto Networks
Vendor milestones First released 2012 EoL announced 01 Nov 2014 End of sale 30 Apr 2015 End of support 30 Apr 2020 What this means Difficult to defend. Firmware uplift alone cannot create a supportable position because the hardware itself is already beyond vendor support. Evidence note The PA-2050 is explicitly listed as part of the PA-2000 Series hardware platforms that reached End-of-Sale on April 30, 2015, in the November 1, 2014 End-of-Sale announcement. In line with the Palo Alto Networks End-of-Life Policy cited in the bulletin, the PA-2050 is supported for 5 years after EOS, resulting in an End-of-Support date of April 30, 2020. The bulletin recommends the PA-3000 Series as the upgrade alternative — confidence is high. official Palo Alto bulletin
	Aruba 3810M 16 SFP+ 2-slot Switch	10	30 Jun 2023	30 Jun 2028	Supported	24–36 months	HPE Aruba
Vendor milestones First released 2015 EoL announced 09 Nov 2022 End of sale 30 Jun 2023 End of support 30 Jun 2028 What this means Supported, but should still be tracked. No immediate replacement-led risk, but lifecycle evidence should be available for assurance, planning, and supplier governance. Evidence note This PID is explicitly listed in the official Aruba 3810 Switches EOS notice as Aruba 3810M 16SFP+ 2-slot Switch, so the published lifecycle dates apply directly. End-of-Sale is listed as June 30, 2023 and End-of-Support as June 30, 2028 — confidence is high. official Aruba 3810 notice
	RUCKUS T610 Access Point	150	31 Jan 2022	31 Dec 2027	Supported	12–24 months	RUCKUS
Vendor milestones First released 2018 End of sale 31 Jan 2022 End of support 31 Dec 2027 What this means Still supportable, but the support window is close enough to affect refresh planning, wireless roadmap decisions, and supplier conversations. Evidence note The T610 model appears explicitly in the Hardware AP EoL table with End-of-Sale listed as 01/31/2022 and End-of-Support as 12/31/2027. This is a direct, model-level match, so confidence is high. official RUCKUS EoL table

This is the difference between inventory and intelligence.

A CMDB can tell you what exists. VendorFox shows whether those models are still supported, whether firmware is aligned to vendor guidance, whether advisories need validation, and whether the next action is replacement, uplift, monitoring, validation or risk acceptance.

Need this once, or kept continuously up to date?

Use VendorFox for a one-off hardware review, or keep lifecycle, firmware, advisory, and change context current across your estate.

Try for free

Your inventory is only the starting point.

Vendor lifecycle dates are scattered across portals, PDFs and support pages.
Firmware recommendations change and are difficult to track manually.
Security advisories often depend on exact model and version data.
Unsupported hardware creates risk for operations, renewals, audits and incident response.
MSPs need this view across multiple customer estates, not just one inventory.

VendorFox closes the gap with a maintained intelligence layer for lifecycle, firmware, advisory and refresh decisions - backed by official vendor sources.

Why hardware intelligence goes stale

Keep lifecycle, firmware and advisory context current - without rebuilding it manually

Most teams rely on spreadsheets, vendor portals and periodic reviews to understand hardware lifecycle risk. That view quickly becomes stale as support dates change, firmware guidance moves on, advisories are published, and estate data drifts. VendorFox keeps hardware models mapped to vendor lifecycle dates, firmware guidance, security advisories and official source links - so unsupported devices, firmware drift and evidence gaps are visible before they become operational, commercial or compliance issues.

Use it for a point-in-time review, or keep the intelligence view continuously updated inside the platform.
