Fahad AlShiwari, Managing Director of 2Connect and member of the Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG).
As a first step, government organisations need to ensure that their own web-based services can be accessed via IPv6. Deploying IPv6 is like managing any other IT project. This simple checklist should help to get you started:
- Appoint a project manager
- Talk to your Internet Service Provider
- Identify the network components that will need to be changed or upgraded
- Identify the training needs for team and project manager
- Determine costs of new hardware and software
- Identify approved vendors and consultants to carry out the deployment
- Develop a project plan
- Present costs to the decision maker
Once you have appointed a project manager, they will need to consider:
- Talking to your Internet Service Provider
- Physical technology
- Software compatibility
- Training
