I spoke with Ecolink who manufacture some of the latest Interlogix sensors, Interlogix has exclusive distribution rights at the moment but they are working on getting that back. As far as the other Interlogix sensors they would be gone

Easy to move to Qolsys Ecolink or Resolution technologies

If you mean remote services like Ultrasync that would go away however Alarm.com would pick up that slack
