New York-based IP network services provider NTT America, Inc., has announced support of its ongoing IPv6 initiative with gold sponsorship of the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force's IPv6 Summit, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center from May 26 to May 27, 2010 in Denver.
By supporting IPv6 transit service in native, tunneled or dual stack modes, NTT (News - Alert) America allows businesses to undergo quick and seamless transition and make the best of new applications in every market from entertainment to disaster response, while maintaining business continuity as IPv4 addresses dwindle. Currently, approximately 20 percent of NTT America's (News - Alert) customer ports are IPv6 enabled and 40 percent of NTT America's peering ports are also IPv6 enabled giving companies unprecedented access to worldwide markets.
The largest annual IPv6 event in North America, the RMv6TF IPv6 Summit will address the current state of IPv6 adoption, what organizations are doing to prepare for the migration to IPv6 and how organizations are already utilizing the benefits of IPv6. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about IPv6 to help stay in front of the technology curve, ensure they have a future career path in network technology and collaborate with others in the field.
"We have long been a proponent of IPv6 and recognize the value of education when it comes to supporting businesses in the transition to the next generation Internet," said Scott Heller, director of marketing for NTT America's Global IP Network. "As IPv4 addresses continue to deplete, and more and more applications are created on IP, it is imperative that organizations understand the importance of IPv6 when it comes to remaining competitive on a global basis."
NTT America is a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications (News - Alert) Corporation and a Tier-1 global IP network services provider.
In recent news, NTT America has announced that the company is working OpSource (News - Alert) to deliver a new service it calls "OpSource Cloud," a new cloud computing solution.
