@Marc Gregorutti Thank you for your reply.  Tried looking at your profile to see who you are affiliated with and it's pretty bare.  Boss likes to know sources.  I also could not find you on LinkedIn.

Please note, the URL listed here shows the selected POWER9 servers that will have service discontinuance on January 31, 2026. These are not all POWER9 servers.

Notably, the 9009-22G, 9009-41G and 9009-42G do not have their EOS announced yet. Same holds true for systems like 9040-MR9 (E950) and 9080-M9S (E980) for which no announcement was made.
