Get ready for the IPv6 transition

The debate over whether to go to IPv6 is moot--the new focus on when, not if, the transition to the new Internet protocol will begin. While the technology got a tremendous show of support on the federal government level when the Department of Defense declared its love for the standard three years ago, not much has happened in the technology's adoption into the enterprise. Yet outside the U.S. the shift to IPv6 is moving much faster with China as a leader in building a new Internet based on the protocol. Pundits expect the U.S. to catch up fast given new advancements in hardware, telecommunications and software. That's why the time is now for CIOs to start mapping out upgrade plans so that they are ready for the shift.
