Hardware We Cover

Bushido provides lifecycle, end-of-life, failure outlook, security advisories, and indicative third-party-maintenance pricing for IT hardware from 87 manufacturers across 8 categories.

What we are not: we are not a maintenance provider. We do not sell support contracts, warranty service, or parts replacement. When a real maintenance contract is needed, we route to vetted third-party providers — and we earn nothing from your decisions.

All data is AI-synthesized from public sources. Every record carries confidence scores. Verify before acting.

What Bushido shows on every record

Generic third-party-maintenance libraries publish EOL date, EOSL date, part number, and status — because that's all a contract-seller needs to display. Every Bushido record ships eight independently-scored dimensions, because the point isn't to sell you a contract; the point is to help you make the decision honestly.

Field on every record Bushido Typical TPM library
Lifecycle dates (release, GA, EOS, EOL, EOSL)
Confidence scores per field (honest uncertainty, never blank cells)
Last-verified timestamp + source count on every page
Failure outlook — age curve + component-level likelihood
Standard Bill of Materials at GA (component-level part numbers)
CVE overlay from NVD + CISA KEV flagging
Security Context (patch availability + compensating controls)
Modern replacement pointers (direct successor + current generation)
Parts-market pricing (secondhand ranges + common parts)
Firmware baseline (latest stable versions + download pointer)
Power, thermal, rack-unit specs
Indicative TPM pricing — 4 SLA tiers, annual + monthly
OEM renewal comparison + fleet quote calculator

"Typical TPM library" reflects publicly-observable feature sets across the largest third-party-maintenance provider databases. We don't name competitors because we don't need to — open any provider's per-model page and compare against a Bushido record for the same model. What we publish, we publish because we don't sell contracts. That's the moat.
