WTI Implements IPv6 Compatibility for All WTI Products
IRVINE, CA, Apr 17, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
WTI, a respected leader in the field of out of band management,
console server products and remote power management solutions, has
announced that all IP enabled WTI products now provide dual support
for both IPv4 and IPv6 (the planned successor to IPv4).
"Although full, world-wide implementation of IPv6 is still a ways
off, we're already seeing applications that have started to use the
new, expanded, addressing protocol," said WTI Sales Manager Joseph
Brodski. "Ever since the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, the first
widespread debut of IPv6, we're seeing more and more situations where
IPv6 has become mandatory; both the nation of China and the US
Federal Government are already recommending IPv6 compatibility for
all new equipment purchases, and the cellular industry and many other
large corporate network based industries are also specifying IPv6 as
the new standard."
The reason for the shift to IPv6 is simple; given the rapid growth of
the internet, available IPv4 format addresses are quickly being
depleted, and the expanded address format allowed by IPv6 is needed
to provide billions upon billions of additional addresses in order to
allow the internet to continue to grow. Whereas the existing IPv4
format uses 32 bit long addresses and allows about 4.3 billion
possible IP addresses, the new IPv6 format uses 128 bit long
addresses, allowing about 3.4x10^38 possible IP addresses; a figure
that the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) describes as being
sufficient to cover the multitude of new devices and websites that
will be added to the internet in the foreseeable future.
WTI is a leading designer and manufacturer of remote power control
and console management solutions for remote data centers, off-site
network equipment installations and other out-of-band management
applications. WTI has been manufacturing products in Irvine CA for
over 45 years, and has partner locations in over 20 countries
globally.
