Also, it's not "Netcool" that is EOS in September 2022 - it's that you will no longer be able to buy Netcool/OMNIbus and Netcool/Impact as standalone products. As Fred says, you will still be able to buy Watson AIOps or NOI, which both include Netcool components. A deployment of Event Manager on OCP contains a containerised ObjectServer and Impact Server, for instance. If you deploy in hybrid mode, you need to deploy OMNIbus and Impact on-prem, and only the cloud-native parts on OpenShift. Hence, although we won't be selling it as a standalone product anymore, we most certainly will still be supporting it and it will continue to be part of the solution for the forseeable future.
