Array Networks Introduces First Gold-Certified IPv6 Application Delivery Controllers
MILPITAS, CA-Array Networks Inc., a global leader in application delivery networking, today announced the immediate availability of its IPv6 gold-certified APV Series application delivery controllers. Certified by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee, Array's APV Series becomes the first application delivery controller to achieve this rigorous certification level for what is now an essential application delivery requirement.
Array's new IPv6-enabled and gold-certified solutions provide a flexible and seamless gateway capable of delivering IPv4 resources to IPv6 clients, delivering IPv6 resources to IPv4 clients, and enabling secure and efficient application delivery in pure IPv6 environments. Powered by Array's award winning SpeedCore(TM) platform and leveraging the latest in 64-bit multi-core processing technology, APV Series application delivery controllers support the performance and scalability to accommodate the larger address space of IPv6 and ensure compatibility with IPv4 systems.
In February 2011, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that the supply of IPv4 addresses had been exhausted worldwide.A year later, it is increasingly urgent for service providers and enterprises to make the transition from IPv4 to IPv6; unfortunately, compatibility issues between IPv4 and IPv6, and the need for long term coexistence, pose significant challenges to the transition process.
"For application delivery vendors, it is not enough to simply support IPv6. It was important for Array to create a solution that would help our customers at every phase of their transition from IPv4 to IPv6," said Michael Zhao, CEO of Array Networks. "I'm very excited to announce the world's first gold-certified IPv6 application delivery controllers, and even more excited to offer our enterprise and service provider customers a solution that extracts the most out of IPv4 infrastructure, enables IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence and offers the scalability to support next-generation IPv6 networks."
To address IPv4 preservation, IPv4/IPv6 translation, IPv6 migration and native IPv6 deployments, APV Series application delivery controllers support a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities:
In support of World IPv6 Launch on June 6, 2012, this press release will be posted on the Array Website and will be accessible to both IPv6 and IPv4 clients using SLB-PT on Array APV Series application delivery controllers. Visitors using IPv6 clients will see a special entry form and be eligible for a chance to win a New iPad!
