In the era of digital world with adoption on next generation technologies and unparalleled growth of internet over the last decade has made it imperative for the large enterprises and communication service providers across the globe to scale up their infrastructure and move to an all-IP world. With device to device communication becoming a reality and more and more connected devices, has led to the depletion of IPv4 addresses and subsequently enterprises have to sooner than later seek for solutions to this problem of exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.

It is evident that IPv6 and IPv4 will coexist for many years now, however, to realize the true potential of the digital economy and to enable next generation services, operators will have to plan their IPv6 migrations soon. In addition, IPv6 transition is a tedious task given the complexities related with the migration and as IPv6 not backward compatible companies need to carefully plan for the migrations keeping in mind their business continuity. It is extremely important that all software, hardware aspects are clearly evaluated before launching a migration plan, as any gaps can have direct impact on the availability of many critical services.

Wipro has vast experience in building and managing complex IP networks on a global scale. It is therefore well positioned to provide IPv6 transition services to enterprises, service providers, and manufacturers of all sizes and in any part of the world. Table 1 below highlights Wipro’s competencies that address the key complications of any IPv6 migration.

Wipro’s Approach to IPv6 Migration

Those that haven’t yet developed a plan for migration, could benefit from Wipro’s extensive experience in current state assessment, the development of practical transition plans and testing. Wipro is technology and vendor agnostic so the plans it develops primarily depend on the client’s needs.

Those that are at an advanced stage of planning could benefit from Wipro’s practical experience in rolling out and managing the next generation of devices and networks.

For those that already have an IPv6 network up and running, Wipro’s experience in application development could help recoup some of the investment made by taking advantage of IPv6’s capabilities.
