Hurricane Electric has launched its Portuguese-language certification at the same time as Brazil is celebrating IPv6 Week
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation hosting and Internet backbone provider Hurricane Electric announced on Monday that it has partnered with the Brazilian Network Information Center to provide its IPv6 certification program in Portuguese.
This news comes less than a week after Hurricane Electric announced that its IPv6 certification program has certified 4,000 IPv6 Sages – the highest level of certification in the program – in 100 countries.
The launch of the Portuguese certification comes at the start of Brazil’s IPv6 week, a coordinated regional test of IPv6 in which websites, content providers and ISPs will be participating.
The certification offering in Portuguese will be identical in terms of content to Hurricane Electric’s existing programs. The programs are self-paced and certify levels of mastery (from Newbie to Sage) for real-world IPv6 concepts and deployment techniques.
“Hurricane is excited to continue its global leadership role in IPv6 education and awareness,” Martin Levy, Hurricane Electric’s director of IPv6 strategy said in a statement. “The timing of the Portuguese version of our IPv6 certification program, coupled with Brazil’s IPv6 week, will ensure a pool of certified Portuguese-speaking talents who are able to overcome the IPv4 address exhaustion issue and pave the way for widespread IPv6 adoption.”
The certification is available in several other languages including Chinese, Czech, German, Russian and English, according to its website.
Individuals and businesses will meet international standards and compliance for IPv6 deployment with HE’s IPv6 certification. The program certifies professionals on their ability to configure and validate IPv6 servers and equipment, allowing them to benefit from IPv6 connectivity, added security and protection, as well as better performance.
