Compressing the IPv6 Deployment Timeline
- Organizations should start their IPv6 journey now, even if they don't need IPv6 fully deployed for many years.
- An IPv6 address allocation plan and IPv6 training can help organizations kick-start their IPv6 implementation.
- Businesses don't have to assume the burden of transitioning their entire IT environment to IPv6 at once.
- IPv6 adoption has been slow but steady over the past twenty years, but IPv6 usage is already at about 50% in some regions of the world and could be closer to 85% in others by 2028.
- Deliberately delaying the IPv6 journey compresses the deployment timeline and increases the risk of not being able to deploy IPv6 at a leisurely pace in the future.
- Some enterprises refuse to embrace IPv6 and fail to plan for the inevitable, which could have serious legal and financial penalties and negatively affect shareholder value.
- IT teams need to address IPv6 implementation as one project amongst many and weave it into any new deployment or perform it in parallel with other projects.
- IPv4 re-addressing projects, overlapping address space, and increased use of NAT will continue to add to operational costs.
- Enterprises should start planning for IPv6 to give themselves more runway and ensure a successful IPv6 implementation.
- Organizations are encouraged to plan a concerted effort to get the IPv6 initiative well underway in early 2025.
