Verio To Launch First North American Large-Scale IPv6 Service
Pre-commercial service of Internet Protocol Version 6 Offers Enhanced Security and scalability on NTT/VERIO Global IPv6 backbone
(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 26, 2003 ) SAN DIEGO, NORTH AMERICAN IPv6 GLOBAL SUMMIT -- ¾ Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications (NTT Com) and a leader in global IP solutions, today announced it will be the first Internet service provider in the United States to deliver large-scale connectivity in North America of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the next generation communication platform for Internet data traffic. The pre-commercial service is available immediately.
In anticipation of launching the commercial service at the end of this year, Verio is now offering customers the opportunity to participate in a pre-commercial service of IPv6, which offers a number of benefits over the current IPv4 standard. NTT Communications and Verio envision IPv4/IPv6 dual stack service delivery on the NTT/VERIO Global IP Network during the companies' commercial launch scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2003.
Yukimasa Ito, president of the Global IP Network unit of Verio, said that IPv6 offers users improved performance, manageability, scalability and data protection.
"IPv6 has historically had a higher profile in Europe and Asia, where the shortage of available Global IP addresses has been limiting the flexibility in configuring corporate networks as well as implementing home appliance networks," he said. "IPv6 is resolving this issue of overcrowding, and customers overseas are finding that it also offers other benefits like automatic configuration of IP addresses, and security. As Internet-enabled
mobile devices and home appliances continue to grow in popularity in the United States, we will provide IPv6 service to give our customers a better way to send data over the Internet, regardless of whether they are using a high-performance network like Ethernet or a low-bandwidth wireless solution."
Verio is making pre-commercial IPv6 available now to customers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. through IPv6 native service, while pre-commercial IPv6 tunneling service is available for those customers who subscribe to Verio's conventional IPv4 services anywhere in the United States.
"The Internet2 community is actively deploying IPv6 on campus, regional and backbone networks, and has demonstrated its ability to support scalable end-to-end transparency and global addressability required by advanced network applications," said Guy Almes, chief engineer for Internet2, a consortium led by 202 universities working in partnership with industry and government to develop and deploy advanced network applications
and technologies. "The availability of commercial IPv6 services will be critical in sustaining the scalable growth and innovation that has distinguished the Internet's development over the past 30 years."
In related news, visitors to the North American IPv6 Global Summit in San Diego this week will be among the first to see the new protocol in action, as Verio is the official provider of IPv6 connectivity to the Summit, and will demonstrate the technology's application.
Summit Chairman Alex Lightman echoed that IPv6 is a significant step forward from the 30-year-old IPv4 standard and will be essential for new technology like fourth generation cellular networks.
"By supplying IPv6 service to this year's Summit, Verio is giving us a glimpse of the future of communications," he said. "Verio's plan to deliver IPv6 on a broad scale is a cornerstone of our conviction that the protocol will make great strides in the next year, particularly since conference attendance indicates the strong support IPv6 has from both the industry and government sectors."
In fact, the Department of Defense recently announced it will implement IPv6 to "facilitate integration of the essential elements of DoD's Global Information Grid-its sensors, weapons, platforms, information and people." The announcement points out that IPv6 can overcome net-centric operations by expanding available IP address space, improving security, facilitating mobile communications, and easing system management burdens.
NTT Com, Verio's parent company, is supporting the Verio IPv6 initiative on its NTT/VERIO Global IPv6 backbone network, which is already delivering commercial service in many countries in Asia-Pacific, including Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia, as well as Europe, including Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Spain. NTT Com is the only commercial provider in the world to offer such large global coverage of IPv6 service. NTT Com pioneered IPv6 development, and since 1996, has led the way in researching and standardizing the protocol. NTT
Communications has approximately 500 IPv6 customers around the world.
In 2002, NTT Com's ongoing commitment to IPv6 was formally recognized when the company received the prestigious World Communications Award for Best Technology Foresight for its IPv6 initiative.
