Arista Networks Product Life Cycle Policy for:
DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF), Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF) and Multi Cloud Director (MCD)
[Life Cycle Policy updated on August 8, 2024]
| Note: | DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) is a rebranding of Big Monitoring Fabric (BMF) Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF) is a rebranding of Big Cloud Fabric (BCF) |
This document covers both software and hardware appliance life cycle policy for DMF, CCF and MCD, as applicable.
DMF, CCF and MCD Software Life Cycle
Arista Networks DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF), Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF) and Multi Cloud Director (MCD) Software Release Policy and Life Cycle guidelines help customers and partners facilitate DMF, CCF and MCD migration and plan multi-year infrastructure deployment. Arista will support each major DMF, CCF and MCD software release for up to 36 months from the date of initial posting for a particular train.
To assist customers in selecting the right DMF / CCF / MCD software release for their environments, Arista follows a standard naming convention for DMF / CCF / MCD releases. The naming convention identifies if a particular release is integrating new feature functionality, or has reached software maintenance mode.
Version numbering scheme:
<major version>.<minor version>.<patch version>
The Product Lifecycle policy guidelines apply to all major and minor releases only. Patch releases will follow the end-of-life policy milestones of the corresponding minor release.
Maintenance Phase
- DMF, CCF and MCD software releases in this phase will only receive incremental fixes. No new functionality will be added.
- TAC support available
Support Only Phase
- DMF, CCF and MCD software releases in this phase will receive ongoing TAC support only.
- Software upgrade required for bug fixes
End of Software Support
- Upon completion of the Support Only Phase, the release is designated as ‘End of Software Support’ after which no further Arista software support including maintenance for that release would be provided.

DMF and CCF Hardware Appliance Life Cycle
As technology evolves, there comes a time when it is better for our customers to transition to newer platforms. Arista's End-of-Sale and End-of-Life policy is designed to help customers identify such life-cycle transitions and plan their infrastructure deployments with a multi-year outlook.
All End-of-Sale and End-of-Life announcements will be made on Arista's website. Milestones in the life cycle of our products is as follows:
- An End-of-Sale announcement will be posted on our website 6 months prior to the last day to order the product
- All customers who have a valid software license and a valid service contract will receive 24x7 support from Arista TAC for up to 5 years from the end-of-sale date or till the manufacturer’s end-of-life date of the hardware, whichever is sooner.
- Software bug fixes will be available for up to 3 years from the end-of-sale date. Fixes for critical security vulnerabilities will be available through the end of life. Customers may be required to upgrade to a newer software release to get the bug fixes.
- Hardware repair or replacement will be available for 5 years from the end-of-sale date or till the manufacturer's end-of-life date of the hardware, whichever is sooner.
- Customers can renew service contracts up to 1 year prior to the end-of-life date.
