The definitive guide to IPv6 decision making for non-technical business leaders
Every year, organizations rely on Internet applications and services more deeply—and every year, Internet infrastructure grows more powerful and complex. As the limitations of traditional IPv4 addressing become increasingly apparent, many decision makers recognize that a transition to IPv6 is needed far sooner than anticipated. Global IPv6 Strategies gives non-technical decision makers the information to plan and execute an orderly, efficient migration to IPv6—and reap the business benefits.
This book’s authors offer practical scenarios, proven best practices, and real-world case studies drawn from their unsurpassed experience helping enterprises and service providers move to IPv6. Writing for non-technical decision makers, they systematically review the costs, benefits, impacts, and opportunities associated with IPv6 migration. Their insights and strategies can help you address both the technical side of IPv6 and the rarely discussed organizational issues that can make or break your transition.
Patrick Grossetete, manager of Product Management at Cisco®, is responsible for key Cisco IOS® software technologies including IPv6 and IP Mobility. A member of the IPv6 Forum Technical Directorate, he has been honored with the IPv6 Forum Internet Pioneer Award.
Ciprian P. Popoviciu, PhD, CCIE® No. 4499, technical leader at Cisco, focuses on architecting, designing, and testing large IPv6 network deployments for service providers and enterprises worldwide. Grossetete and Popoviciu co-authored Deploying IPv6 Networks (Cisco Press).
Fred Wettling manages architecture and strategic planning for Bechtel. Wettling is a member of the IEEE, North American IPv6 Task Force, and IPv6 Forum; directs the IPv6 Business Council; chaired the Network Applications Consortium (NAC); and served on the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee Next Generation Network Task Force.
- Understand how efficient IP communications are rapidly becoming even more central to business and economic growth.
- Get past the “IPv4 vs. IPv6” myths that prevent effective decision making and planning.
- Objectively assess the constraints of existing IPv4 infrastructures—and learn how IPv6 can overcome them.
- Develop and analyze the business case for IPv6—with help from real-world, never-before-published case studies.
- Identify hidden business opportunities IPv6 can unleash.
- Choose the optimal IPv6 adoption strategy for your enterprise or organization.
- Learn realistic best practices for planning successful migrations

Global IPv6 Strategies, By
This review is from: Global IPv6 Strategies: From Business Analysis to Operational Planning (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book. The authors have done a terrific job of blending in the full spectrum of issues related to IPv6 in a very readable tone and format. The technical components of the book are excellent but the best parts are the ones that add perspective and address the economic implications of advanced networking and IPv6. This book should be required reading for all non-technical managers and decision makers.This book advances the current IPv6 debate beyond the various pitfalls and complexities of IPv6 integration and shine light on the economic impact of advanced networking. It would be terrific if the authors could initiate the IPv6 wake-up call that is desperately needed in North America. Excellent read....

IPv6 - Get the necessary knowledge to make unavoidable important business decisions in the near future, By
This review is from: Global IPv6 Strategies: From Business Analysis to Operational Planning (Paperback)
IPv6 adoption doesn't really mean much to most people or organizations today, even though we've all heard at some point that IPv4 IP addresses are being depleted rapidly, the problem is not yet that evident.In all honesty, we had our doubts about this Cisco Press title, but the first 30 (out of a total of 400) pages put things into perspective. The title helps you clearly understand what IPv6 is all about. Its approach is brilliant - with the handful of real statistics and examples it provides, you will realize that IPv6 is not about a new breakthrough or trend but a solution to an uprising problem. The fact is that the global network, aka `Internet', relies on a 30 year old protocol originally developed for a much smaller network. The growth of the Internet was unforeseeable, as were the problems to be encountered. The experts agree that the IPv4 addressing space will be completely depleted by the year 2015. Global IPv6 Strategies kicks off with an... Read more

Right book-- right time.,
This review is from: Global IPv6 Strategies: From Business Analysis to Operational Planning (Paperback)
I love that these three guys took the time to write this book. Collectively, they have the technical and business skills, combined with the necessary experience to make business sense of the transition to IPv6. They did a good job of looking at each of the key areas, with both the technical (where Patrick is widely respected) and business (where Fred actually led the Fortune 500's first global transition) focus.This is the first v6 book that I would recommend to the general business population. Prior attempts have been good at the technical issues, but were written mostly for the v6-immersed set. This book will reward the non-v6 reader with practical benefits in business case, network optimization, security and more. Good job authors-- and thanks for taking the time. |
