SAN JOSE, CA--(Korea Newswire)--Cisco(NASDAQ: CSCO), which for 25 years has been pivotal in the development of the Internet Protocol, and which will be the first networking vendor to commit to the 24-hour global “test drive” of IP‘s next version on June 8, today announced new products and services to smooth the enterprise shift from IPv4 to IPv6. The offerings address findings from a new Cisco study that reveals IT leaders’ concerns about the security, deployment and maintenance of IPv6 and their intent to seek outside expertise to oversee the changeover.

When the free pool of IPv4 addresses ran dry earlier this year, transitioning to IPv6 became the only option to ensure long-term business continuity. The effort requires unifying IPv4 and IPv6 across networks, software and applications. To address the unique challenges this presents, Cisco has a broad portfolio of switches, routers and security devices that have passed both international IPv6 testing (see “IPv6-ready logo”) as well as U.S. government testing (“USGv6” compliance). This substantial portfolio was highly visible earlier this month, when Cisco, as one of the key players in the Interop trade show's network, collaborated with numerous vendors to make the InteropNet the first end-to-end trade show network to run IPv4 and IPv6 side by side, delivering data, voice and video services to more than 15,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors.
