A New Era in Government Networks

About this Briefing:

By June 30, 2008, federal agencies are required to have upgraded their networks to support the migration to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Over the past few years all agencies have spent significant time and resources preparing for “Day One” in IPv6, but it is only the beginning of the new era in Internet capabilities. The next two years will see the development of new technologies, applications, network accreditation, interoperability testing and certification as industry and government alike begin to be innovative with IPv6. A recent study has found that by 2011, IPv6 could influence over $97B in federal, state and local IT spending.

Attendees at the IPv6 AM*Briefing will hear government and industry experts discuss how government agencies can utilize IPv6 to enhance operations and capabilities, how to integrate IPv6 into current investments and what IPv6 compliant applications are on the horizon. Attendees will have a clear understanding on what is “next” following the migration date. Members of the Federal IPv6 Working Group will discuss their agencies’ successes and challenges faced with the migration of their networks to IPv6, what procurement vehicles they used and are available, as well as provide insight into the impact of IPv6 on government over the next few years.
