HP has been shipping IPv6 on its Business
Critical Server since 2000
- HP-UX is fully IPv6 compliant. HP-UX
11iv2 and v3 has IPv6 Ready Phase II gold logo for host and for
IPsec. For more details on HP-UX IPv6 enablement please see
http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/cache/324347-0-0-0-121.html
OpenVMS (Silver IPv6 ready logo). For
more details on OpenVMS Networking capabilities see
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/network/tcpip.html
NonStop Server support IPv6. For more
details see
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/erc/downloads/ipv6ds.pdf
- HP ProCurve high end switches support
IPv6
http://www.hp.com/rnd/itmgrnews/built_for_future.htm
offers full support for IPv6 in hardware, which enables
switches that use the ProVision ASIC to not only support
current IPv6 capabilities, but also incorporate future
features as they arise.
The programmable ProVision ASIC
enables current ProCurve switches, such as the 5400 and 3500
series, to deliver a rich ProCurve Adaptive EDGE
Architecture™ experience and sophisticated ProCurve
ProActive Defense security features right to the edge of the
network.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager can
manage IPv6-IPv4 devices
HP Enterprise Jetdirect printers support
IPv6
- HP was among the first printer
companies to release an IPv6 product, HP JetDirect 635n
IPv6/IPsec print server. It can go into any printer with an
EIO slot therefore the customer has a lot of choices on the
type of printer IPv6 is deployed on. HP JetDirect 635n has
IPv6 ready logo for both core and IPsec. HP's 635n is the
only print server that is certified as "IPv6 Capable" by the
Department of Defense --and therefore the only print server
that is on the approved buying list of the DoD.
- LaserJet printers which are IPv6
enabled and have the IPv6 Phase II logo as well: HP LaserJet
P2014n Printer and P3005n.
HP OpenCall Software brings IPv6 towards
IP Multimedia Subsystem
- HP OpenCall USP SIP and Diameter have
IPv6 support. HP OpenCall HSS application currently has IPV6
support included. HP OpenCall MRFP has IPv6 and H.248
support built in.
HP StorageWorks Division provides a
customer statement of support committing support of IPv6 per the
US OMB mandate (June 2008).

The current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the
Internet has served the needs of many technologies, companies and
individuals very well. However, IPv4 will not be able to deliver the
network technology transformation necessary to support the Next
Generation Internet. The Internet is evolving rapidly towards the
use of mobile devices that must be able to communicate with other
mobile and stationary devices. The need for more Internet addresses
for the many devices that will be Internet enabled will, at some
point in time, exceed the capability of IPv4. The need for
end-to-end security will be more pressing as more content is
communicated via the Internet.
Hewlett-Packard has been a designer and
implementor of IPv6 since 1995, and was a member of the IETF
Internet Protocol Next Generation Direcorate that selected IPv6 as
the Next Generation Internet Protocol to transition from the current
IPv4. HP is one of the original founders and catalysts to create the
IPv6 Forum. Hewlett-Packard believes IPv6 will provide an Internet
evolution to support the connectivity of devices and people, at a
scale that is beyond the dreams of the Internet when it was created,
or as it exists now, where devices are pervasive and ubiquitous and
people are mobile. |
