Prepare your migration from IPv4 to IPv6 with Savoir-faire Linux

The skyrocketing increase in IP addresses demand will result in a scarceness within the enterprises. While the majority of the developed countries take action to prevent a crisis by migrating their infrastructure to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Canada and Quebec in particular, seem to choose a wait and see approach. However, it is urgent that all the Internet as well as all the enterprise network infrastructures migrate to the IPv6.

A study by the « IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) » shows that 84% of IPv4 addresses are now being used. Given the growing rate of the PDA and Blackberry market as well as the intensive use of media diffusion services, experts foresee a total exhaustion in less than two years from now.

IPv4 and IPv6 are not always compatible. Transition mechanisms must be installed to enable an Ipv6 tool to communicate with IPv4 devices. However, these transition mechanisms do not ensure a total liability in the long run.

In this emergency status, Savoir-faire Linux offers adapted services for the migration and management of your infrastructure in order to welcome in the best conditions the IPv6 protocol.

Do not wait and subscribe now to one of our training program. You will learn the foundation of the protocol as well as everything you need to know to migrate properly to IPv6.
