Mr Latif Ladid, Global President of the IPv6 Forum is in Singapore to launch the new certification courses and to appoint Mr Victor Tang, Managing Director of PROGRESO as Chairman for the Singapore chapter of the IPv6 Forum. “It is quite clear that Asia is leading in IPv6 adoption in the world. There is a real demand for IPv6 trained engineers and end-users to ensure a seamless growth of the internet based on IPv6.” said Mr Ladid who is also the Senior Researcher at University of Luxembourg, Security and Trust (SnT) Center and Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society (ISOC).
“The ‘certified certification’ initiative from IPv6 Forum Education Logo program will further promote IPv6 adoption by providing an opportunity for networking vendors to enable their certification programs ‘IPv6 Ready’ and officially recognized. This next level of IPv6 Education Logo Program is designed to certify vendors’ certification programs uniformly across the industry,” added Mr Tang. “We are already partnering with USM (Universiti Sains Malaysia) - The National Advanced IPv6 Centre (NAV6) to offer 3 levels of certification to IT managers, engineers and end-users.”
As IPv6 adoption increases globally, co-existence of IPv6 and IPv4 addresses on the internet is inevitable. PROGRESO’s new IPv6 Certified Network Engineer Courses will train IT managers and engineers to maintain interoperability and facilitate a smooth transition of the IP protocols across their networks. IPv6 implementation requires a new set of network configurations and capabilities. The new IPv6 Certified Network Engineer Courses will cover IPv6 addressing, ICMPv6, IPv6 Neighbour Discovery, Transition Approaches and Mechanisms, Mobile IPv6, Security, QoS, etc. that will help attendees to build, migrate and manage the IPv6 network with ease.
