Snapvault is not EOL. The next version of SMVI will be including snapvault support. In the interim, Matt Robinson of NetApp has written SV SMVI (Snapvault for Snapmanager for Virtual Infrastructure). I've tried it in our development lab and it seems to work really well. Take a look at it at http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1868;jsessionid=A4775C7EF68BD0E628BE54033CB9D59B
The S550 is being discontinued and therefore snapvault primary for it is EOL. However, snapvault for the FAS series is not EOL.
