Current Prosafe VPN firewalls end-of-life?

Wow, finally a statement. It was a good product line. All it needed was somebody who cares about the firmware for adding new features and keep them up to date.

For us as customers and partners its like a punch right into the face. An acceptable, customer friendly solution would be to say: "Yeah the product line goes EOL but we know that we have a responsibility and therefore we do our best to integrate actual features and solve last problems in a future firmware upgrade over the next few months"

But you have chosen a not so friendly method like "Yeah, do what you want, We're out"

As partner and reseller I wanna tell you that this approach is a desaster. You might think of it like "Yeah, we should let these products die because they are not profitable" (or something else) but It will have a huge impact on the rest of your product lines. People are not that dumb. Everybody who knows how you proceeded with the EOL for these products will think twice to buy a switch or a nas.
