Sify Technologies Limited, a company that deals in enterprise and consumer Internet Services in India, reportedly says that it’s first commercial content portal in India to be IPv6-enabled.

 

This makes Sify a primary mover in testing and deployment of IPv6 technologies and its associated services in India.

 

“The decreasing availability of IPv4 addresses makes it imperative for users to migrate to the IPv6 space eventually. As pioneers in services over IP in India, Sify has addressed this critical need to augment its IP address resources. Our capabilities in IPv6 migration are in line with our vision to develop future proof solutions for customers,” said Arvind Mathur, chief architect, Sify Technologies Limited.

 

Sify officials said that the company’s entire suite of IP connectivity services, including Internet access to enterprise customers and MPLS-based IP-VPN services are IPv6 enabled.

 

This, officials said, ensures that Sify’s customers can transition and migrate from a basic IPv4 based network service to IPv6 Next Generation Network with dual-stack support.

 

Mathur added that migration to IPv6 requires careful planning that adapts, integrates and helps co-exist with the current network environment.

 

Sify has also been participating in various projects at international forums to encourage the adoption of IPv6.

 

Dr. Sathya Rao, Director of Telscom, Switzerland, coordinating the European funded co-operation project , 6CHOICE, said, “We are very happy to have Sify, an early adopter of IPv6 in the provision of future IP services, as a partner in the project. We believe in their capabilities in adding value to 6CHOICE and to the Internet industry at large, and expect others to follow their initiative.”
