End of Life of the Stormshield SN2100, SN3100, and SN6100
As of January 1, 2025, Stormshield will officially end the sale of the SN2100, SN3100, and SN6100 models. These powerful network security solutions have been a cornerstone of modern IT infrastructures for many years, providing reliable protection for medium to large enterprises. However, with the End of Sale (EoS), it is time to consider alternatives and necessary steps to ensure the security and future-readiness of your infrastructure.
What does the End of Sale mean for you?
The End-of-Sale (EoS) status means that the mentioned products will no longer be officially sold after January 1, 2025. Nevertheless, important services remain available for existing customers:
- Support and Maintenance: Stormshield will continue to provide support and security updates for the devices, but only within the defined product lifecycle.
- Spare Parts Availability: Spare parts will remain available for purchase, subject to availability.
However, businesses should note that after the End of Life (EoL) date – which will follow the EoS by a few years – no more security updates or technical support will be provided. This could jeopardize IT security and compliance.
Why is Stormshield ending the sale of these models?
Advancements in the IT security industry require continuous innovation to keep up with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The SN2100, SN3100, and SN6100 models are being replaced by more modern, powerful, and efficient solutions that:
- Offer better performance and scalability to meet the needs of growing networks.
- Integrate the latest security features and technologies, such as advanced threat prevention and optimized cloud integration.
- Are future-proof and meet current requirements for data protection and compliance.
What alternatives are available?
Stormshield offers a range of modern replacement models designed to fill the gap left by the EoS. These devices feature improved hardware, more advanced security functions, and higher throughput rates.
Recommended replacement models:
- Devices from the SN-S series, specifically designed for large networks and demanding security requirements.
- Solutions with integrated features for Zero Trust Security, SD-WAN, and optimized cloud environments.
Tip: Plan the transition to a new model early to avoid downtime and security risks.
Conclusion: Act now to future-proof your IT security
The End of Sale of the Stormshield SN2100, SN3100, and SN6100 is a necessary step to pave the way for more modern and powerful security solutions. Businesses should take this opportunity to analyze their IT infrastructure and upgrade to new, future-proof devices.
