(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Data center and colocation provider NYI (www.nyi.net) announced on Wednesday that it has achieved IPv6 corporate compliance, its latest initiative in the campaign in support of World IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011.
This announcement comes two weeks after the company signed a contract with Rolling Stone Magazine to support the relaunch of its website.
NYI says that by achieving corporate compliance, its principal web presence is now “v6 reachable.” According to the company, this places “it at the forefront of supporters who understand the importance of raising awareness.”
“NYI is among the growing list of companies making IPv6 available for commercial use,” Leslie Daigle, chief IT officer of the Internet Society said in a statement. “Companies who recognize the business imperative of forward progress for Internet technologies such as the deployment of IPv6 provide an example to the industry for others to follow.”
NYI launched its IPv6 support campaign in February to raise awareness of IPv6.
“The Internet Society has done a fantastic job of bringing IPv6 to the forefront,” Phillip Koblence, VP operations, NYI stated. “With World IPv6 Day, they have created a groundswell of attention that no one in technology can ignore. We all owe them a depth of gratitude for what they’ve done and look forward to doing whatever else we can to supporting their mandate.”
On Tuesday, Hurricane Electric announced it has created a new division to assist companies with the transition to IPv6.
