Internode turns on IPv6 for new customers

Internode has become the first Australian broadband provider to make IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) available by default for new customers.
Although the IT industry has warned that IPv4 addresses will run out soon, the deployment of IPv6 in Australia has been limited with only a few internet service providers (ISPs) such as Internode and Telstra announcing they were rolling it out for customers.

Since 10 January this year, Internode has enabled dual stack support — allowing the concurrent operation of IPv4/IPv6 — for all new broadband services.
Existing customers can enable IPv6 at any time by visiting ‘My Internode’ on the company’s website and switching it on.
Internode managing director, Simon Hackett, said in a statement that it is “at the stage in IPv6 deployment where it was time for major ISPs to make it a transparent part of their customers’ experience.”
“Internode has enabled native IPv6 by default for all new customers, and all the Fritz!Box and Billion routers we sell now come with ‘IPv6 Inside’,” he said. “Our experience shows us that IPv6 is now fully capable of providing seamless, uninterrupted and efficient access to the Internet, dual-stacked with IPv4.”

SOA and Business Processes: Making the Connection
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is also complex, and one of its main characteristics is that an SOA system is comprised of multiple applications that are combined to accomplish critical business processes. Discussions of SOA can quickly grow so complex that the system’s main benefits to an organization are difficult to fully understand. This article discusses SOA Suite 11g, a family of products that take SOA to a new level and correct some of the problems caused by the very combination of components and multiplication of languages that make SOA a flexible, agile system. -

Top Reasons to Implement an SOA Governance Strategy: A List for IT Executives
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has moved beyond hype to widespread acceptance as an IT strategy for delivering business value. SOA promotes the notion of modularity, providing overwhelming flexibility and superior economics for addressing business demands. However, undertaking the transformation to SOA is not without its challenges. If left unchecked, your inventory of SOA assets will become unmanageable; the reuse of services will diminish in favor of custom development; or even worse, modifications will be made to your existing services that break other business processes. The purpose of SOA governance is to help you ensure that this does not happen. This paper outlines the most compelling reasons for you to establish SOA governance within your organization.
