Dear valued customer,

Broadcom is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. In accordance with the Broadcom Support Policy and Terms, please consider this letter your written notification that we are discontinuing support for Spectrum, a component of DX NetOps, on Microsoft Windows, beginning with the DX NetOps 26.x release, targeted for November 2026.

This change will allow our development organization to focus resources on enhancing DX NetOps and on next-generation capabilities, bringing you improved stability, performance, and alignment with modern enterprise architectures.

At this time, we encourage customers currently running Spectrum on Windows to begin planning their migration to Linux before the End of Service Date. Migrating to Linux provides continued support and enables you to benefit from the latest features, enhancements, and security updates. 

To help you prepare for this upgrade, we recommend engaging with your Broadcom account representative and Support team. Our Solution Engineers are available to review your current environment and provide guidance as you plan your migration. In addition, Broadcom offers the following resources to further support your transition:

• Broadcom Support
  Guidance and documentation to help you prepare for your transition from Spectrum on Windows to Spectrum on Linux can be found on Broadcom Support Online.
  
  
• Broadcom Services
  Broadcom Services is available to provide consulting services for any or all parts of the migration, including analysis of the current system, preparation activities, testing, and execution. For more details, please visit Broadcom Services Support.
  
  
• Broadcom Partners
  Qualified local Broadcom DX NetOps Partners are also able to assist in migration activities, including assessment, preparation, testing, and implementation. For more information and a list of partners in your area, please contact your local Broadcom Channel Partner office at Broadcom Partners.
  

If you have any questions regarding the End of Service schedule or migration planning, please contact Broadcom Support at Broadcom Support Online, your local Broadcom Account Manager, your Customer Success Manager, or Broadcom Customer Care online at Customer Care Web Form. You may also call Broadcom Customer Care at +1-800-225-5224 in North America, or see Global Contact Numbers for local numbers in your country.

Your success is very important to us, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you.

Sincerely,

The Network Observability Product Team
