Implementing IPv6 in an Organization

Overview During a research project done in 2004 there was concluded that the migration to IPv6 could be done without too many problems. Because this research was done on paper it would be interesting to test these conclusions in practice. This is what this paper and project is about. IPv6 is the next generation internet protocol. Its main benefit is a larger address space and enhanced security options. It is not yet possible to completely migrate to IPv6, but several Transition and Interoperability mechanisms are available to have Ipv6 and IPv4 coexist together in the same infrastructure.

Application producers had also created new mechanisms to do a lot more a lot faster. So my prediction is that the CD will go quickly, overtaken by the DVD and USB stick, and promoted by exactly the same mechanisms that killed the floppy - file size...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
