Life is beautiful, but it’s too short;
Pursue with passion, enjoy with love.
If not now, when?!

IPv4 Is Only the Experimental Version of the Internet!

IPv4 Is Only an Experiment! |
Here is one more reason why we need to stop using IPv4: It's Only the Experimental Version of the Internet!
According
to Vint Cerf, “father of the Internet”, who told the audience at a recent Google+
Hangout discussing about the Internet’s past, present, and future, the IPv4 that we are using today is only “the
experimental version of the Internet” and it was somehow leaked out to the
rest of the world from his original experiment. If that is the case, who wants
to run a non-production version of software in its production environment?!
Accordingly,
the current global adoption of IPv6, “the production
version of the Internet”, is not only logical and rational, but also prudent
and critical for the future of the Internet!
Here are
five reasons why we should move entirely to IPv6:
1.
Pending depletion of all IPv4
addresses
2.
Mandate by new U.S. Federal
Acquisition Regulation
3.
Additional security threat with
dual-stack mode
4.
Prerequisite for the Internet of
Things
5.
Migration to the production version of
Internet Protocol (IPv6) from the experimental version (IPv4)
Refer to my article on StopUsing Internet Protocol Version 4! for more details on the other four reasons why we should adopt IPv6 globally now.

Consequently, it is not only logical
but economically imperative for CIOs and CEOs to start the conversation now
about just when their companies should stop using IPv4.

Cutting Cost by Embracing the Software-Defined Information Technology!
Nowadays, we are confronted daily by new waves of technological innovations and digital revolution, such as M2M, Internet of Things (IoT), and Software-Defined Everything (SDX), one of which, the hot buzz of the day, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), will not only provide tremendous cost-savings in the short-run, but also enable the agencies to transform their existing network infrastructure and computing architectures to operate more efficiently and effectively in a long run. Here are the reasons why:
By definition, SDN will introduce a vendor-neutral and open platform for the enterprise network infrastructure and data centers alike, which, in turn, will be able to provide an equal playing field for all vendors, big or small, to have the opportunity to compete for the government IT infrastructure procurements and contracts, as long as they are in compliance with the new SDN standards such as the OpenFlow protocol for their networking products.
By introducing a competitive multi-vendor networking environment in the government agencies, the SDN will dramatically lower the cost as compared to the single vendor networking environment, which is very common nowadays in many federal government agencies. According to a most recent online survey of 300 federal network managers conducted in February 2014 by MeriTalk, the network infrastructure diversification by way of multi-vendors competition, which will ultimately lead to 50% additional savings for the agencies’ IT acquisitions, service, and maintenance costs.
Furthermore, by aggressively adopting the cost-saving technology initiatives, such as data center consolidation and virtualization, public and private cloud computing solutions, multi-vendor network infrastructure diversification, and software-defined Information Technology including the SDN, software-defined data center (SDDC), software-defined storage (SDS), etc., the federal government agencies will eventually be able to achieve major cost savings and operational efficiencies, while at the same time being able to carry out and fulfill their missions to serve the public in the current challenging political and fiscal environments.
Obviously, adopting those innovative technology initiatives are huge undertaking and change is always difficult, if not almost impossible, in many government agencies. However, with the current budget constraints, the choices are limited for many federal agencies. The decision makers need to be able to enthusiastically embrace the SDX, including SDN, in order to remain relevant in the current Software-Defined Information Technology revolution.
