Only 6 months left for Solaris 10 and 11.3

Oracle does provide patches under Extended Support for 
Solaris 10 and Solaris 11.3 till January 2027. 

The dates are documented in 
https://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-hardware-301321.pdf

You can continue to run this Solaris versions, but who does
that without new patches and the security risks?

Migrate to Solaris 11.4, which will receive patches and new features
till January 2037 for sure, probably longer. Oracle extended
this date in the past already several times.

For Solaris 11.3 systems it is just SRU updates to Solaris 11.4.
For Solaris 10 you have to move the systems into Solaris branded zones
on Solaris 11.4. Your Solaris 10 apps and binaries will then run on 
a current Solaris 11.4 kernel.

If you need help with such migrations you can use our JomaSoft
VDCF management tool and we offer migration and consulting services.
