IPv6 is the next generation protocol for the Internet. While IPv4 has been around for over 30 years and has been the core protocol for the Internet, it has some limitations. For example, it is projected that the supply of available IPv4 addresses will max out somewhere in the next 5 to 7 years. IPv6 extends available IP addresses to a near limitless quantity.

Interoperable with the current IPv4, IPv6 is designed to run well on high performance networks (Gigabit Ethernet, OC-12, ATM, etc.) and at the same time still be efficient for low bandwidth networks (such as wireless).

Additionally, IPv6 provides for standard implementation of security and reliability protocols which increase quality of service without diminishing performance.

Verio sees IPv6 as an enabling technology. With improved security and reliability, the ability to offer IPs to a global market, built-in functionality for Mobile IP, Multicast —and more—Verio is the first Tier-one Internet backbone provider built for the future.

The IPv6-enabled VPS and MPS are just one component of NTT's large-scale IPv6 service. Our globally tested and proven IPv6-native, tunneling, and dual-stack gateway services are now available on a commercial basis. Customers around the globe are able to connect to the world's only commercial-grade Global Tier One IPv6 Backbone operating in Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a web services infrastructure that multiplexes a single physical server into multiple “virtual” servers.

Despite sharing server resources, each VPS is fully isolated with its own file system, processes, users, applications, and resource allocations. This enables you to fully customize your server configuration and choose the best applications and services to suit your specific needs.

A Managed Private Server is a managed dedicated server. You get the full power and flexibility of a dedicated server with the benefit of managed services that minimize many of the difficulties associated with server management.

The IPv6-enabled VPS and MPS offer a variety of new options for customers interested in IPv6 technology. For early adopters of IPv6, it improves the speed of communication because it does not require an IPv6 gateway.

Set up test environments for IPv6-enabled technology

Utilizing the power and flexibility of Verio's VPSv3 and MPSv3 servers, you can develop your own IPv6 infrastructure, products or services. At a fraction of the cost of setting up your own IPv6 infrastructure, you can create multiple server configurations to provide test and development environments that are IPv6 compatible.

Other uses include the VPS and MPS as a central server for IPv6-enabled mobile devices, a secure messaging server, an application server for IPv6-enabled web applications, or as a termination point for IPv6-enabled VPNs.

Less hassle, more reliability.

You don't need to be an expert on web hosting to keep things running smoothly and reliably with IPv6-enabled VPS v3 and MPS v3. Leading the competition in managed services, VPS v3 and MPS v3 provides ongoing security updates, operating system patches, backup and recovery, and hardware maintenance 24/7—all included in the low monthly price.
