QuantaStor product EOL timeline follows the Ubuntu Server LTS EOL timelines. This allows OSNEXUS to keep current with security updates from the Linux community. Please see the Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) release information here for more detail: Ubuntu Server LTS End-Of-Life calendar.


  • QuantaStor v4.x releases will be based on Ubuntu 14.04.x LTS (EOL April 2019)
  • QuantaStor v3.x releases are based on Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS (EOL April 2017)
  • QuantaStor v2.x releases were based on Ubuntu 10.10/10.04 LTS (EOL May 9, 2013)


QuantaStor appliances refer to the Ubuntu LTS security package servers so that important security updates can be quickly applied as they are made available by the community.

To maintain support on proper security compliance of QuantaStor appliances they should be upgraded on a regular basis using the 'sudo qs-upgrade' command at the console or via a SSH connection to the system.

NOTE: QuantaStor v3.17 and newer will have an option in the Web UI for applying security updates.
