IPv6 in Data center

[Aabheer]

Hi all,

As early as the beginning of the formation of IPV6 technology, people have begun to IPv4/IPV6 network transition, coexistence, interoperability, and many other aspects of the technology research and feasibility studies, more focused on the underlying network level, how the network from a traditional IPv4 smooth migrate to the ultimate IPV6 network. I want to know that IPV6 support data center core objectives. Any idea. Please reply.

IPV6 support in the prospect to build data center applications needs to believe the application of the exact deployment requirements. In many systems to put up the people will simply choose the "dual-stack host" mode, for a little simple submission of this possible that this is a logical choice, but for large-scale computing applications, the use of this simple requirement may lead to more input costs and enduring operation and maintenance costs.

The multi-layered organization of the software system in hold up of the dual stack is not very complete at all levels, particularly in the middle of computing platform, due to the many types of software, feature-rich, while behind dual stack is at present not many (as opposed to ratio is concerned, the application of multi-layer structure IPV6 in the WEB front-end layer, IPv4 back-end operations may be a better change mode. All the best.

For the application of all mechanism of a complete change to IPV6, technology maturity will be a big problem, and subsequently the difficulty of the system operation and upholding is also greatly improved compared with usual environments. The B / S architecture, WEB computing layer, because feature relatively simple, and is a customer-oriented terminals operate and easier to dual-stack expertise. Check and reply.

WEB story dual-stack server use strategies will help improve data center compatibility and scalability. For IP addresses, the end-users, transport the user traffic networks, data centers WEB business device addresses occupied by the main creation of IPV6 network system, and in the WEB layers of the middleware application server , database servers, etc. do not present direct services to end customers, which can keep up sophisticated communications system, IPv4. Based on this move toward, in support of the application deployment, there is a flexible and scalable option. All the best.
