<h3 class="subtitle">Necessary evil or business opportunity?</h3></div></div></div></div>
<div class="entry"><p><span id="more-8986"></span>Particularly in Asia and
the Middle East, the switch to IPv6 is already well underway. If
European companies, governments and organizations do not make their
websites compatible for IPv6, they will be excluding a large group of
users. And communication by e-mail will also become problematic. So the
switch is, therefore, a necessary evil. But the implementation of IPv6
in addition to the existing IPv4 can also be an extra asset. After
all: anyone who can communicate with Asia has access to a couple of
billion potential users and customers. Thats quite an appealing
prospect in a period of economic recession and saturated European
markets.</p><p>On the Internet Societys World IPv6 Launch Day on 6 June 2012,
millions of users will need to be able to definitively connect via IPv6.
On that day, large players such as Google, Facebook and Microsofts
Bing will formally make the switch to IPv6. In order to give all
citizens access to both IPv4 and IPv6 communication, it is therefore
necessary for our providers to make the switch as well. Rolling out IPv6
can no longer be delayed. The many advantages of IPv6 for companies
need to be a trigger for them to take that step. A few advantages:
auto-configuration improves manageability and reduces the network
administration costs; integrated support for mobility; the IPSec
standard increases system security
IPv6 also has an auto-configuration
function which makes the complex configuration of IPv4 a thing of the
past, now that the number of mobile devices is entering an explosive
phase of growth. The main advantage, however, is the unlimited number of
addresses and the better security. That lets companies protect
themselves even better against bothersome intrusions and hacking. With
the necessary investment, any company, organization or government can
take advantage of this technology.</p><p>Rudi Vansnick</p></div></div><div><br><div>
