  "description": "Cisco HyperFlex End of Life (EoL) Transitioning refers to the phase-out of Cisco's proprietary Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) software and hardware. Customers are currently being migrated to a new solution, 'Cisco Compute Hyperconverged with Nutanix,' following Cisco's strategic decision to exit the internal HCI software market in 2023. This process involves decommissioning legacy HX-series nodes and transitioning management to the Cisco Intersight platform alongside Nutanix software.",
