World IPv6 Day - June 8th 2011

June 8th, 2011 is “World IPv6 Day” and Online Tech will be participating in this event along with companies such as Facebook, Google, and Yahoo! in order to take a test flight of the new IP addressing system, IPv6.

So what is “World IPv6 Day?”

On June 8th, 2011, participants (including Online Tech) will be enabling their websites for 24 hours to IPv6. The main goal of this event is to motivate organizations, ISPs, hardware makers, and web companies to begin preparing their services for IPv6.

As the Internet is slowly running out of IPv4 Addresses, a new address system was developed in order to not only keep up with the demand of consumers needing more addresses, but to help build larger and more efficient networks. IPv6 provides many benefits, including:

• Better Performance
• Better Security
• Backwards-Compatibility with IPv4

IPV4 to IPV6 Address Transition

Recently Online Tech's Director of Operations Jason Yaeger and network expert Jon Zeeff conducted a webinar on the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

In this webinar, they went over why IPv6 is necessary as we move into the future, what the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 are, the benfits of IPv6, what a company needs to adopt the new standard, and a little bit about World IPv6 day.

The main goal of this webinar was to give businesses ideas for preparation to help them prepare for the IPv4 to IPv6 transition.

Key take-a-ways from the webinar were:

• Support for IPv6 should be on the roadmap for every organization by 2012.

• Your ISP or Colocation provider should have a plan for IPv6 adoption to support your needs

• Mail, web, and application servers must be reachable via IPv6 in addition to IPv4 for foreseeable future.

• IPv4/IPv6 “dual stack”, where both environments are run simultaneously will last at least 10 years.
