D-Link(R) Managed Switches Receive IPv6-Ready Logo Phase-2 Certification to Ensure Interoperability
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/04/09 --
D-Link, the end-to-end networking
solutions provider for consumer and business, today announced that the
company's xStack® DGS-3400 series and DES-3528/52 series of managed
switches received IPv6-Ready Core Logo Phase-2 certification from the IPv6
Forum.
Receiving the IPv6-Ready Logo Phase-2 signifies that xStack DGS-3400 series
and DES-3528/52 series switches have satisfied all of the IPv6 Forum's
compliance and interoperability requirements. Both of the switch series are
not only IPv6 capable but are also interoperable with other standard-based
products in a multi-vendor environment that support IPv6 functionality.
This IPv6 Phase-2 ready certification also ensures that customers will save
the cost of migrating to IPv6 devices.
According to the latest industry estimates (http://www.ipv6forum.com), the
supply of new IPv4 addresses available from the regional Internet
registries will run out in 2011. IPv6 fixes this problem by expanding the
pool of available IP addresses by using 128-bit addresses. IPv6 also
provides built-in security as well as network management and mobility
enhancements. Therefore, the growing demand for IPv6 support from
government agencies, educational institutions and corporate entities has
become much stronger.
This certification further demonstrates how D-Link provides the highest
possible level in interoperable and secure networking, while meeting the
growing demand for IPv6-capable functionality from corporate entities and
specific vertical markets.
The IPv6-Ready Logo series of tests were progressively enriched. Compared
with Phase-1, the Phase-2 logo verifies optimum compliance because it
expands more "core IPv6 protocol" tests and adds new extended test
categories. The IPv6 Forum is a worldwide consortium, with a key focus on
providing technical guidance for the deployment of IPv6. The IPv6-Ready
Logo Program initiated by the IPv6 Forum is a conformance and
interoperability testing program intended to increase user confidence by
demonstrating that IPv6 is currently operational and ready to use.
Earlier this year, the D-Link DGS-3200 series and DGS-3600 series xStack
Gigabit managed switches received IPv6-Ready Logo Phase-2 certification.
D-Link is continuing to dedicate more of its resources and efforts to
obtain IPv6-Ready Logo Phase-2 certification for a wider range of product
lines and to support more IPv6 features.
"The launch of the IPv6 Phase-2 certified xStack DGS-3400 series and
DES-3528/52 series switches is further proof of D-Link's commitment to
providing our customers with best-of-breed technology applications to power
up their network environments without incurring high costs," said AJ Wang,
chief technology officer, D-Link. "These IPv6-enabled switches provide a
secure network environment; specific vertical markets such as government
and educational institutions could especially benefit from the attributes
that IPv6 technology provides for secure data communications."
The D-Link xStack DGS-3400 series and DES-3528/52 series switches are the
L2/L3 Gigabit solutions for business/enterprise and vertical markets. Both
of these series offer rich manageability, robust security and high
reliability functions. They provide current IPv4 networks with a simple
migration path to IPv6 and protect your investment for future network
upgrades when greater security and larger addressing are required. The IPv6
multicast host, the latest in protocol technology, enables maximum hardware
performance.
