The imminent need to migrate systems to the IPv6 protocol does not exist the way we saw with Y2K. As a result, enterprises have frequently decided to postpone INVESTMENT in the transition. One of the reasons is that IPv6 DEPLOYMENT is a necessary upgrade procedure that requires the investment of human and capital resources, but does not offer clear short-term return. There are also workarounds, such as the introduction of Network Address Translation (NAT) that allows organisations to extend their addresses to more devices. These workarounds are costly and not viable in the long-term. The only way forward is to adopt IPv6. The TIME to adopt is now - and many ORGANIZATIONS have already INITIATED, and even completed the transition process.
