Why now

IPv6 has surpassed IPv4 to become the most popular Internet Protocol

All enterprise organizations now recognize the inevitability of the global transition to IPv6. Enterprises must proceed immediately or risk further compressing their IPv6 deployment timelines. However, enterprises may not know how to begin an IPv6 initiative.

Hogg Networking has developed an IPv6 roadmap for enterprises and has written about the importance of starting with developing the business case for IPv6. Most enterprise organizations approach an IPv6 initiative with similar phases. Hogg Networking can begin immediately to help you quickly create a plan for IPv6.
