Important Customer Advisory: Edgenexus EdgeADC Lifecycle and Platform Updates
Version 5 Platform Modernisation – April 2025
Our application platform has recently been updated to a new operating environment designed to provide enhanced security, long-term support, and improved performance.
Due to the significant differences between the legacy and new environments, a direct upgrade is not possible. Customers currently running older platforms will need to plan for a fresh deployment using the latest release package (ISO/OVA or equivalent) provided by us. We are here to assist in this transition where needed.
Support for Hardware Appliances (E4 Series)
Effective immediately:
- E4 hardware appliances are now considered End of Life (EOL).
- Software updates for these appliances will be provided on a best-effort basis only.
- We are unable to guarantee resolution of any issues if they are already addressed within the latest platform release.
- We encourage all E4 appliance users to plan an upgrade to a supported platform to ensure continued stability and support.
Supported Hardware Platforms Moving Forward
- Newer HPE server platforms will be officially supported for deployments moving forward.
- Other hardware platforms may be supported on a case-by-case basis and must be pre-approved by our team prior to deployment.
- Customers considering alternative hardware should contact our support team in advance to discuss compatibility and supportability.
Application v4 and v5 Upgrade Paths
For customers using application version v4:
- Upgrade to application version v5.0.0C is available.
- Important: v5.0.0C will be the final version available for upgrades from v4.
- No further development or feature updates are planned for v5.0.0C.
- Customers should plan accordingly, as v5.0.0C will only receive critical updates on a best-effort basis.
For new deployments:
- All new installations will be based on application version v5.0.0R.
- Future development, enhancements, and support will continue exclusively on v5.0.0R.
- Deployments on the new platform will benefit from ongoing improvements and security updates.
