Understanding and deploying IPv6

The old version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4, has been such a success that we are now faced with a shortage of available addresses. This has the effect of heavily penalising new entrants as well as other players who no longer have enough IPv4 addresses. Maintaining IPv4 is also proving more and more costly for businesses. It is therefore advisable to migrate to the new version of the protocol (IPv6) in order to manage a scalable and extensible pool of IP addresses.

DNS Administrator

For some years now, both public and private actors have been seeing certain Internet services become inaccessible on account of problems linked to their DNS hosting. These breakdowns have considerable consequences: clients unable to access their bank accounts, online stores inaccessible, public services closed, etc. The robustness of DNS services generally suggests that Internet services are functioning normally; so, without a suitable DNS administration, an organisation can become extremely vulnerable. It is essential for any organisation to have skilled administration that allows it to maintain a comprehensive, high-quality DNS service, whether it is hosted in-house or entrusted to a hosting service provider.
