EOL
When a vendor has not published an exact date, we render an estimated range with an explicit confidence score — never an empty cell. See how to read TPM library records honestly.

Indicative TPM Pricing
Indicative — not a quote.
| SLA tier | Annual | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 9×5 NBD | $1,050 – $1,950 | $88 – $162 |
| 24×7 NBD | $1,365 – $2,535 | $114 – $211 |
| 24×7×4 onsite + parts | $1,890 – $3,900 | $158 – $325 |
| 24×7×4 remote only | $945 – $2,730 | $79 – $228 |
Pricing confidence: ●○○○○
Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Real TPM monthly billing is typically ~5–10% higher than this — use annual for accurate budgeting.

Security Context
Post-lifecycle security posture — buyer education, not a service pitch. See Why past-EOSL hardware becomes a CVE liability for the honest map.
- Patch availability
- ● Firmware only (PSIRT coverage fading)
Preliminary security context — awaiting deep AI lookup. For any hardware past OEM end-of-service-life, PCI DSS v4, HIPAA, SOC 2, and CIS Controls v8 explicitly permit documented compensating controls in lieu of vendor patches. See /path/defense/past-eosl-hardware-cve-liability/ for the honest map of what changes at EOSL and what stays the same.
Compensating controls that still work
- Isolate iDRAC/iLO/CIMC/BMC management network from user VLANs
- Restrict administrative-plane access to jump host with MFA
- Enable secure boot + TPM attestation where the platform supports it
- Subscribe to component-level CVE feeds (Broadcom, Intel, LSI, etc.) after OEM PSIRT coverage ends
Bushido publishes this information because it's the honest answer to the question "what changes at EOSL and what stays the same." We do not sell vulnerability management, patch orchestration, or MSP services — but you can find vendors who do in our vetted partners directory.
Platform & OS lifecycle
The hardware's end-of-service-life is above. This is the lifecycle of the software this class of machine commonly runs — because a box past hardware EOSL running an OS that's also end-of-life is two risks stacked, not one.

Software lifecycle data from endoflife.date, a community-maintained project (updated daily). Shown to connect your hardware's status to the software running on it; hardware EOSL is tracked separately above. Bushido does not modify or resell this data — verify against the vendor's own lifecycle policy before acting.
Parts Market
Whole unit: $0 – $0
Find parts for this unit
Bushido publishes the standard bill of materials above. For substitute part chains, current pricing, and serial- or service-tag-specific configurations, go straight to the manufacturer's own portal — the authoritative source. We don't scrape or resell parts data, and we earn nothing from these links.

Independent cross-reference — not affiliated with Bushido
Dell does not publish a public substitute cross-reference — alternate-part chains live in Dell's internal service systems. Use the Service Tag lookup for the original BOM, then the third-party cross-reference below for substitutes.
No single manufacturer publishes a cross-vendor "alternative parts" list, and no one official aggregates across all vendors. Lenovo and HPE expose substitute chains publicly; Dell and Sun/Oracle keep them internal or gated. These links are the honest map of where each vendor's data actually lives. If a link is dead or a portal has moved, tell us and we'll fix it.
