Management Briefing IPv6

Short management briefing on IPv6

• half day • £495/$900 • world-wide


Why this briefing?

The implementation of IPv6 is inevitable and will impact on all companies that maintain, implement or use IP networks.

IPv6 is the result of many years of research and activity by the international Internet community. IPv6 provides increased addressing space, improved routing, better security and support for new applications.

In this briefing, you will learn what IPv6 is and how it will affect your business.

You will be shown how IPv6 can be the basis for technical improvements in your organisation which were impossible with IPv4 (widespread Voice over IP, security enhancements, mobile access). This enables you to determine how IPv6 will impact your organisation and will help you to initiate the development of a migration strategy.


Who should attend?

This briefing is idea for managers who wish to have an overview of IPv6 including the drivers, risks and benefits of migrating to IPv6

Prerequisites

No previous knowledge of IPv6 is required. A general awareness of IT and networking is beneficial.
