IPv6 is coming, whether we like it or not. It isn't a matter of new features or "killer applications," although those may come with time. Rather, it is the rapid depletion of the remaining IPv4 addresses that is leaving IPv6 as the only feasible alternative for the continued growth of networks beyond the next few years. Governments and service providers in many regions of the world have been cognizant of this fact for years, and are currently in various stages of planning for IP6 deployment in their networks.

With thorough, clear planning IPv6 can be deployed safely and within acceptable costs. Understanding the elements of a good deployment plan is essential, however, as is an understanding of the various mechanisms and methodologies available for IPv6 implementation. Juniper Networks is the acknowledged leader in high-performance, low-risk IPv6 deployment, with a rich set of IPv6 features available in all JUNOS-based platforms.

Requirements for 21st-century communication services will be substantially different from those that are common today. Major trends in the evolution of digital communication services are being driven both by new demands and by the opportunities presented by numerous emerging innovative architectures and technologies. These trends are motivating a fundamental reconsideration of all aspects of communication services, including the basic concepts of what services are, the way they should be created and provided, and the design of supporting facilities. These requirements and trends will determine the future shape of communication services and the organizations that provide them.

This white paper is an excerpt from the Annual Review of Communications, vol. 61.

  • Telefonica has quietly been laying the foundations to make an impact in the multinational enterprise services arena. Now it has won a major deal.

Telefonica sent a ripple through the industry last month when it signed an estimated €350 million five-year deal to provide fixed and mobile enterprise services to Deutsche Post Worldwide Net, owner of DHL. That agreement alone was not remarkable, but seen as a part of a bigger plan to make inroads into the global enterprise services space it will give some operators serious cause for concern.

    Enterprises are looking for communication cost reduction and employee productivity improvement while dealing with ever-increasing mobility. An Economist Intelligence Unit survey indicates that nearly half of firms between 51% and 100% of employees use allocated mobile devices, while in three years, 71% of firms will be the case. Are service providers well positioned to solve these enterprise business issues? And how could service providers capture such opportunity and deliver value to enterprises? A new wave of managed services could transform opportunities into reality for both enterprises and service providers.

    With managed services, including managed business communication and managed data networking, service providers can meet more and more expected enterprise requirements via flexible models (e.g. hosted, managed and service on demand...). With the most experience to satisfy small, medium, and large enterprises, as well as service providers, this session will address these new requirements by leveraging cross-industry knowledge, research and innovation, flexible deployment models, comprehensive go-to-market support and broad partners eco-system.
