Options from here

The Cisco MDS 9148S Series is still supported. Options to plan around, in rough priority:

Monitor the timeline

Supported for now. Track the end-of-service date and revisit at refresh planning.

Keep firmware current

Stay on a supported software train while under OEM support.

Third-party maintenance later

An option to extend life once the OEM cutoff nears.

Check your exact part numbers Weigh your support options

Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.
