- Each model has an End of Sale date of 04/01/2025 and an End of Support/End of Life date of 04/01/2030.
- These models are added to the table in light of the introduction of Edge models 710-5G, 720, and 740, which will replace the above models going forward.
- Updates the Recommended Action table to add the above models and to revise the Alternative Model column with an appropriate 7x0 model.
- Updates the TAA Compliant table to include new Edge models 710-5G, 720, and 740. These join the Edge 710-W, as the entire Edge 7x0 model line is TAA compliant. Also notes the additional 6x0 models announced as End of Sale.
What is new in the August, 2024 Update:
- This update includes the revised branding that changes VMware SD-WAN to VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN, and changes VMware SD-WAN Edge to VeloCloud Edge.
- Edge models 510 Wi-Fi, 510N, 610 Wi-Fi, and 610N have all reached End of Sale, each model carries a note that there remains a surplus of inventory for Edge 510's and 610's and these models can still be purchased while supplies last.
- Added two new notes under Please Note section stating that End of Sale Edges may not be supported on all platform software releases going forward. Also that End of Support/End of Life Edges can be expected to have support on the LTS software release that was available at the time they became End of Life/End of Support.
What was new in the February, 2024 Update:
- This update adds entries for some versions of the Edge 510 and Edge 610. Specifically, the Edge 510 (Wi-Fi), 510N (Non-Wi-Fi), 610 (Wi-Fi), and 610N (Non-Wi-Fi) versions.
- As documented under Recommended Action, the above models are all replaced by the Edge 710-W. The Edge 710-W is TAA compliant and becomes generally available on 01 February, 2024.
