D-Link (News - Alert) Middle East, computer network solutions provider for consumers and businesses, has reportedly received IPv6 Ready Core Logo Phase-2 certification from the IPv6 Forum, for its xStack DGS (News - Alert)-3400 series, xStack DES-3200 series, xStack DES-3528/52 series, DGS-3610 series and DES-7200 chassis series switches.

 

IPv6 Forum has started the conformance and interoperability testing program called IPv6 Ready Logo Program to increase user confidence by demonstrating that IPv6 is currently operational and ready to use.

 

D-Link has received IPv6 Phase-2 ready logo for satisfying all of the IPv6 Forum's compliance and interoperability requirements. These new series of switches not only are IPv6 capable but are also interoperable with other standard-based products in a multi-vendor environment that support IPv6 functionality.

 

This IPv6 Phase-2 ready certification also further ensures customers the saving of migration cost from IPv4 to IPv6 devices. Earlier this year, the company’s DGS-3200 series and DGS-3600 series xStack Gigabit managed switches received the IPv6 ready logo Phase-2 certification.

 

The company officials said that they are continuing to put more to the resources and efforts to obtain the IPv6 ready logo Phase-2 certification for a wider range of product lines and support more IPv6 features.

 

Harrison Albert, Regional Sales Director at D-Link Middle East, said that the launch of the IPv6 Phase-2 certified xStack DGS-3400 series, xStack DES-3200 series, xStack DES-3528/52 series, DGS-3610 series and DES-7200 chassis series switches is further proof of D-Link's commitment to providing their customers with best-of-breed technology applications to power up their network environment without incurring high costs.

 

Additionally, Albert said that the IPv6-enabled switches provide a secure network environment, specific vertical markets such as government and education institutions could especially benefit from the attributes that IPv6 technology provides for secure data communications.
