End of life of RSA enVision?

[RSAAdmin]

We have an appliance ES 1060 model 2950 with an EOPS for december 2013.

But now, some rumors declare the end of life of enVision. NetWitness will replace it, but Security Analytic will replace NetWitness.

Need more facts about those rumors!

It is true that the Dell 2950 hardware is scheduled for end-of-primary support at December 31, 2013.  But this doesn't relate to end of support for enVision software itself.  enVision 4.1 has no currently scheduled end of support planned.  We at RSA have made clear however that RSA Security Analytics is the recommended migration path for many reasons...and there are both technical items which support this migration as well as economic ones.  However if you want to remain with the ES 1060 you can simply refresh the hardware to a Dell 710 or Dell 620....Just get in touch RSA or an RSA reseller partner to get that going.

There is an EMC site for product life cycle details for NetWitness and Security Analytics.

See Product Versions Life Cycle - RSA NetWitness - EMC

There is a similar EMC site for product life cycle plans for envision as well.

See RSA enVision Security Information Event Management (SIEM) - EMC

These sites should take some of the mystery out of this question and provide some facts on the product plans.
