Our intent for this added period of supportability for vSphere 6.7 is to offer customers worry-free stability and an added buffer period for planning future upgrades as they resume regular operations moving forward. This is especially true in the current environment. However, we know it takes time to plan and execute upgrades for vSphere, given how fundamental it is to our customers’ entire IT infrastructure footprint. It includes major new capabilities such as running modern containerized applications natively on vSphere, improved operations capabilities such as workload-oriented DRS, and enhanced intrinsic security. VSphere 7, released earlier this year, is the biggest enhancement to ESX in over a decade. There is no change in supportability dates for any other vSphere release. The original EoTG (End of Technical Guidance) date of Novemstill applies for vSphere 6.7. We are extending this date by 11 months, to October 15, 2022. Originally, vSphere 6.7 was scheduled to reach EoGS (End of General Support) on November 15, 2021. To help customers with that transition, we are extending the general support period for vSphere 6.7. While these customers look to resume regular business at some point in the near future, they need stable, non-disruptive operations now to help with that transition to a desired future state. The current business environment has created a climate of uncertainty leading to challenges for IT operations and strategic planning. In these challenging times, many customers have reached out to share how their businesses have been impacted by Covid-19. This means listening to our customers when designing compelling new products and when we provide world class support throughout the product lifecycle. VMware is committed to bringing great products to market that meet our customers’ short and long term needs. By - Paul Turner, VP Product Management, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware
