Effective June 1st, 2026, Kodak will discontinue all hardware sales related to the Software business due to vendor constraints.
Moving forward, Kodak will provide service and support for VOE (Virtual Operating Environment) configurations ONLY. This means all new installations of our Workflow Software will not be installed natively on the server hardware itself.
Customers should leverage regional hardware providers to purchase any WINDOWS Server that meets the specification outlined in the VOE Planning Guide (Knowledge Article 12807)
Customer-purchased hardware must comply with the following requirements that are outlined in the VOE Planning Guide (Knowledge Article 12807)
- Host hardware requirements
- Host hypervisor requirements
- VM requirements
While customers must purchase servers separately, guidelines and materials are available to support the buying needs of Kodak customers and optimize performance.
During the transition, please contact local Kodak Workflow Sales support for questions about server configurations or the VOE Planning Guide.
