News Flash!

In February 2011 the IANA assigned the last top level (/8)

block of free IPv4 addresses.


Where are we?

Federal Government deadline for public

facing web services is September 30th

2012.

According to survey by National Institute

of Standards and Technology (NIST) on 5

agencies have deployed on websites, DNS

and email.

That is less than 1% of all government

online web services.

Factors include Service Provider support,

Fed Sites IPv6 Ready

Passed NIST

Not Yet Passed NIST


Where are we?

Enterprise adoption or

transition rate is

relatively unknown.

Many enterprises are

keeping quiet about

projects until security

risks are better

understood


IP Device Growth 2010 to 2011

43% Increase in active

smartphones and

wireless-enabled PDAs

9% Increase in active

data-capable devices

49% Increase in

Wireless-enabled

tablets, laptops and

modems

IPv6 Benefits


Easier management of network

addresses

Auto configuration capabilities via stateless

architecture


End-to-end connective integrity

Direct addressing is possible due to vast address

space


Unconstrained address abundance

IPv4 - 4.29 x 109 = 4.2 billion addresses


Unconstrained address abundance

IPv6 3.4 x 1038 = 340 trillion trillion trillion

addresses


Platform for innovation and

collaboration

Volume of addresses, scalability and flexibility the

potential for innovation and assisting collaboration

is limitless.


Integrated interoperability and

mobility

Already widely embedded in network and mobile

devices.


Improved security features

IPSEC is built in.


IPv6 Management Challenges

Ensuring visibility and

monitoring during the

transition period from IPv4 to

IPv6.

Not all products and OS

versions support IPv6

Some tools cannot support

both IPv4 and IPv6 in the

same application



Legacy Management tools may have support for IPv6 in regards

to polling, but lack unified visualization for IPv4 and IPv6.

Visualizing total application or bandwidth consumption

regardless of IP address type.


2 Classes IPv6 Applications

IPv4 applications

migrating to IPv6.

Predictable Traffic

Patterns

Brand new classes of

applications, i.e Peer-to-

peer applications and

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6)

Traffic patterns are

expected to be less

predictable.

To view IPv6 traffic

requires NetFlow v9



Collecting performance data at scale while delivering critical

information in a timely manner.


Solving the Challenges


Why Next Generation Performance Management

As communication services

converge…

So does the infrastructure…

Network, Compute, Storage

Requires real-time visibility as

traditional IT transforms into

dynamic virtualized cloud

infrastructures

Legacy tools fall short in speed,

scalability, and flexibility


Comprehensive Performance Management Solution

A Global Uniform View of

Infrastructure Performance

Quick time to value, ease of use

Real-time system wide visibility

Scalability – world’s largest

networks in large enterprises,

MSOs, managed and cloud SPs

Lower TCO - market leading

all-in-one appliance, no add-ons

Integration of KPIs and NetFlow

data


Uniform Views for IPv4 and IPv6


Total bandwidth regardless of IP type.


Integration that goes beyond reporting


SevOne ClusterTM

Linear scalability to millions of objects and billions of baselines

Distributed collection and reporting, with no limits

Appliance deployment, footprint 2x-4x smaller than competition

Each peer system

acts as both a

collector and a

reporter

All peers are aware of

which device is being

monitored by each

peer Can appropriately route

data requests

Multiple systems can

work together on one

report in parallel
