QuantaStor product EOL timeline follows the Ubuntu Server LTS EOL timelines due to the necessity of maintaining secuirty support from the broader Linux and Ubuntu community used by Cannonical. Please see the Long Term Support (LTS) release information here for more detail: Ubuntu Server LTS End-Of-Life calendar.

  • QuantaStor v3.x releases are based on Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS (EOL April 2017)
  • QuantaStor v4.x releases will be based on Ubuntu 14.04.x LTS (EOL April 2019)

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.
