What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

EOL, or End of Life, is when a manufacturer stops offering software or hardware updates, security patches, and support for a product. Once a product reaches EOL, it becomes vulnerable to security risks and may no longer function optimally. Businesses must plan for upgrades or replacements to avoid potential disruptions.
Statistic Number
Percentage of companies unaware of EOL risks 33%
Increase in cybersecurity risks after EOL 60%
Cost of maintaining EOL equipment vs. upgrading 2x more expensive
Average time businesses delay upgrading EOL products 12 months
Number of breaches due to unsupported software 500+ annually
Key Takeaway Explanation
EOL means no more updates Once a product reaches EOL, no further updates or patches are provided.
Security risks increase EOL products are more vulnerable to cyber threats due to lack of support.
Maintenance costs rise It becomes more expensive to maintain aging hardware or software.
Proactive planning is key Upgrading before EOL ensures smoother transitions and avoids risks.
ThomasTech can help ThomasTech offers tailored solutions for handling EOL transitions effectively.

Defining EOL (End of Life)

What is EOL?

  • End of Life (EOL) is when a manufacturer stops supporting a product, including software or hardware. Once a product reaches EOL, it no longer receives updates, security patches, or technical support from the manufacturer.

Impact of EOL

  • No More Updates: Critical updates and patches stop, leaving the product vulnerable.
  • Loss of Support: Technical and customer support ceases, making it harder to resolve issues.

EOL vs. EOSL

EOL (End of Life)

  • EOL occurs when a product no longer receives updates, patches, or new features, but limited support may still be available.

EOSL (End of Service Life)

  • EOSL is when all support and maintenance services stop, meaning no updates or technical assistance will be provided.

Understanding the difference helps plan when to upgrade or replace technology. Explore support options at ThomasTech.

Planning for EOL

Frequently asked questions

What is EOL in technology?


EOL, or End of Life, is the stage when a manufacturer discontinues all support for a product, including software or hardware updates, security patches, and technical support. This phase marks the end of the product's lifecycle, necessitating upgrades or replacements to avoid potential disruptions.

What risks are associated with EOL products?


EOL products are at increased risk for security vulnerabilities since they no longer receive updates or patches. This exposure can lead to cyber-attacks and data breaches, making it crucial for businesses to upgrade before these products become unsupported.

How does EOL impact business operations?


The end of life for a product can disrupt business operations by making systems more prone to failures and less compatible with newer technologies. It also increases maintenance costs as it becomes harder to find support or replacement parts.

How should businesses prepare for EOL?


Businesses should monitor the EOL schedules of their critical systems and plan proactive upgrades or replacements. Regularly updating technology infrastructure helps mitigate the risks associated with using outdated and unsupported products.

What services does ThomasTech provide for EOL management?


ThomasTech offers customized solutions for managing EOL transitions, including risk assessments, upgrades, and migrations to supported platforms. They help ensure business continuity by providing expert guidance and support during and after the transition period.
