January 14, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Dedicated hosting provider The Planet (theplanet.com) announced on Monday that Stan Barber, its vice president of network operations, will deliver an address at the 30th annual Pacific Telecommunications Council "Telecom with Vision" tradeshow. The event is being held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa in Honolulu, Hawaii and runs from January 15 to 18.

The company says that Barber's presentation starts at 8:30 a.m. HST on January 15 and will include a discussion about the emerging adoption of IPv6 and the barriers to entry over the IPv4 standard.

"As customers demand additional functionality, we will begin to see broader adoption of IPv6," says Barber. "There are no significantly large companies driving adoption, so we face a chicken-and-egg scenario that has plagued widespread deployment. While anyone can connect to IPv6 today using a tunnel broker, it is difficult to use such connections when driving traffic of any significant bandwidth. Having providers deliver IPv6 natively removes this bandwidth barrier and makes it possible for websites, as an example, to deliver the same content with the same experience over IPv6 and IPv4."

Last week, the Planet selected Lantronix SecureLinx Spider to address customer needs for KVP-over-IP management of its servers.
