Array Networks Introduces First Gold-Certified IPv6 Application Delivery Controllers

Array Networks Introduces First Gold-Certified IPv6 Application Delivery
Controllers
64-bitAPV Series is the first ADC product to achieve rigorous IPv6 Forum gold-certification for essential
application delivery requirement
MILPITAS, CA-June5, 2012- Array Networks Inc., a global leader in application delivery networking,
today announced the immediate availability of its IPv6 gold-certified APV Series application delivery
controllers. Certified by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee, Array's APV Series becomes the first
application delivery controller to achieve this rigorous certification level for what is now an essential
application delivery requirement.
Array's new IPv6-enabled and gold-certified solutions provide a flexible and seamless gateway capable
of delivering IPv4 resources to IPv6 clients, delivering IPv6 resources to IPv4 clients, and enabling secure
and efficient application delivery in pure IPv6 environments. Powered by Array's award winning
SpeedCoreTM platform and leveraging the latest in 64-bit multi-core processing technology, APV Series
application delivery controllers support the performance and scalability to accommodate the larger
address space of IPv6 and ensure compatibility with IPv4 systems.
In February 2011, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that
the supply of IPv4 addresses had been exhausted worldwide. A year later, it is increasingly urgent for
service providers and enterprises to make the transition from IPv4 to IPv6; unfortunately, compatibility
issues between IPv4 and IPv6, and the need for long term coexistence, pose significant challenges to the
transition process.
"For application delivery vendors, it is not enough to simply support IPv6. It was important for Array to
create a solution that would help our customers at every phase of their transition from IPv4 to IPv6,"
said Michael Zhao, CEO of Array Networks. "I'm very excited to announce the world's first gold-certified
IPv6 application delivery controllers, and even more excited to offer our enterprise and service provider
customers a solution that extracts the most out of IPv4 infrastructure, enables IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence
and offers the scalability to support next-generation IPv6 networks."
To address IPv4 preservation, IPv4/IPv6 translation, IPv6 migration and native IPv6 deployments, APV
Series application delivery controllers support a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities:
*
For organizations needing a rapid IPv6 Web presence, server load balancing protocol translation
(SLB-PT) transforms existing IPv4 Web sites into IPv6 compatible sites that greatly reduce the need for
duplicate equipment, content and management
*
For organization seeking to maximize depleted IPv4 resources, NAT and dual NAT (dual-stack
IPv6) allow multiple clients to utilize a single IPv4 address
*
For enterprises and service providers seeking to migrate to IPv6, Array's gold-certified solutions
support both NAT64 and DNS64 to enableIPv6-only clients with to connect to IPv4 servers and content

---

*
To ensure a consistent application experience across IPv4 and IPv6 clients and networks - and to
enable fully-capable, next-generation solutions - IPv6 feature parity is supported for all Array APV Series
application delivery controller products.
In support of World IPv6 Launch on June 6, 2012, this press release will be posted on the Array Website
and will be accessible to both IPv6 and IPv4 clients using SLB-PT on Array APV Series application delivery
controllers. Visitors using IPv6 clients will see a special entry form and be eligible for a chance to win a
New iPad!
