Commitment from the manufacturer. (Score 1)

If the system is from a lesser-known manufacturer then I would like to know some background information to help evaluate the company and help tell if they will be around for the lifespan of the product. If it is from a well-known company, I would like to know the level of commitment they have for the product line and if there has been talk about phasing the product line out. I know it is impossible to predict this completely but there may be some signals if there is a lack of longevity/commitment.
