AppLogicT the first cloud computing platform to demonstrate support for IPv6

3Tera®, the leading provider of cloud  computing technology and utility computing services for hosting providers,  today announced AppLogicT is the first cloud computing platform to  demonstrate support for IPv6. 3Tera and hosting partners Cari.net and  ScaleUp Technologies successfully demonstrated database replication  between applications running in two different cloud provider datacenters  using an IPv6 VPN tunnel created with 3Tera’s new VPN catalog appliance.

Until now, IPv6 adoption has been slowed by the perception that it  requires both support on the client side and complex code changes in  applications. With 3Tera’s AppLogic cloud computing platform, it is no  longer necessary to make changes in the configuration of the software in  order to be able to support IPv6, while still keeping the data available  to IPv4 users.

“We are removing barriers for IPv6 support and creating momentum for IPv6  adoption,” said Peter Nickolov, President and CTO, 3Tera, Inc. “Within  AppLogic, applications and complex distributed systems are actually not  aware whether they are running over IPv6 or IPv4, which makes the  transition to IPv6 seamless.”

“In less than an hour we added 3Tera’s new VPN appliance to an existing  application,” said Mark Ortenzi, President, Cari.net, a hosting provider  based in San Diego, CA. “The appliance established an IPv6 tunnel for  database and file system replication between the application running in  our San Diego datacenter and another copy in the ScaleUp Technologies’  datacenter in Germany.”

Christoph Streit, Founder, ScaleUp Technologies, based in Germany  commented, “We have experimented with native IPv6 in our datacenters for  some time and 3Tera is making it easy for cloud users to utilize the IPv6  network. In our test no change was required to the datacenter, the  application code or the client. For scaling a global cloud offering, this  is critical to success because IPv4 addresses are more difficult to obtain  internationally.”

Why IPv6 in the cloud? Adopting IPv6 both internally and for use natively between applications  addresses issues facing the growing cloud computing ecosystem:

* increased need for IP addresses due to virtualization and cloud  computing
* global accessibility of cloud applications
*  government mandates for security
* complexity of adopting IPv6
* use of scarce IPv4 addresses for communications between applications
* ability to obtain IP addresses for international datacenter operators

Availability The AppLogic VPN appliance with IPv6 support used in the tests is  available immediately to AppLogic users by contacting 3Tera. By the end of  2009 all relevant appliances in the AppLogic catalog will be IPv6-ready.

3Tera and hosting partners AgathonGroup, Cari.net, ClearManage, DNS  Europe, ENKI Consulting and ScaleUp Technologies are either supporting  IPv6 in the cloud today or are preparing to offer it before the end of  2009 in the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, and Singapore.
