Market trends & Business opportunities
“Virtualization” is a hot topic in the data centers
» Increased bandwidth available for communicating
» High availability is absolutely mandatory for virtual servers
Added voice and video to the traditional data network
» Strong QoS and PoE are becoming mandatory requirements
Downtime and delayed delivery must be eliminated
» Resilient technologies must be designed into the networks
» No more outages caused by troubles or maintenance
“Green IT”
Increased scalability
» IPv6
Why IPv6 is becoming a Business Driver
Internet use is high and increasing
» Logical platform for converged services (TV & Video, voice, internet)
» Mobility and ubiquitous networking are in demand by both consumers
»
and vendors
Current prediction is that we will run out of IPv4 addresses in two to
four years!*
IPv6 will expand the use of the Internet
» Especially amongst consumers with mobile devices and in home
entertainment
Some regions are running out of IPv4 addresses now
Governments and military are actively supporting it because of the
increased security
* http://www.ripe.net/news/community-statement.html
IPv6 vs. IPv4
Increased address space
» IPv4: 32 bit address gives 4 billion addresses
» IPv6: 128 bit address gives 340 billion billion billion billion addresses!!!!
True end-to-end networking – Removes need for NAT
» Some countries in Asia, with only a small IPv4 address allocation, have
»
NAT up to 6 layers deep!
Inherent mobility
Increased security
Better QoS – Flow labels
Automatic configuration
