Subject:  End of Service announcement for CA API Gateway HW Appliance X7 and X8

CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company, is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. In accordance with our  Broadcom Maintenance Policy Handbook , please consider this email your written notification that we are discontinuing technical support for the following product versions and all of their cumulative releases per the following schedule.

• CA API Gateway HW Appliance X7 and X8  effective July 31st, 2027

This will allow our development organization to more effectively focus its resources on and add value to the current and next releases of the Layer7 API Gateway.

The Layer7 API Gateway 11.1 will be the last version to support hardware appliances. Hardware appliance Gateway customers will need to move to another supported Gateway form factor (including the virtual appliance Gateways, software Gateways or container Gateways) before the 11.1 EOS, which has also been announced for July 31st, 2027. For additional information on Layer7 API Gateway, please visit the Layer7 product pages at Broadcom Support Online.  

As Broadcom would like to make your upgrade to a newer version of the Layer7 API Gateway as seamless and straightforward as possible, we are offering the following:

• Upgrade to Virtual Appliance, Software Gateway or Container Gateway form factors running supported versions of the Layer7 API Gateway, at no charge, as long as you have an active maintenance contract for Layer7 API Gateway. Please check the product compatibility matrixes at the product documentation page here to plan your upgrade. 
• Upgrade assistance from qualified local Broadcom Partners.
