(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Internet backbone and colocation provider Hurricane Electric (www.he.net) announced on Tuesday that its IPv6 evangelist Owen DeLong will lead a new professional services division to assist enterprises with their transition to IPv6.
Last week, Hurricane Electric established a point-of-presence with Telehouse Paris. The company also recently established a PoP within the VegasNAP data center.
According to the press release, the new division will consult with organizations of all sizes.
“Today’s global challenge is adding IPv6 capabilities to each and every connected device,” Owen DeLong, Hurricane Electric’s IPv6 Evangelist and Director of Hurricane Electric’s IPv6 Professional Services Division said in a statement. “For over ten years, Hurricane Electric has built a reputation as a leader in IPv6, and we intend to use our experience to help organizations employ tactics that reduce transition costs and network interruption.”
Hurricane Electric says that “enterprises that delay the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 will eventually experience connectivity-related issues and associated financial losses.”
Colocation provider NYI announced in February that it has launched a program to support IPv6 awareness in time for World IPv6 Day on June 8.
