December Monthly Luncheon
Pre-registration for this event is closed. Onsite Registration will be available.
Time is running out as the number of IPv4 addresses run low. The last batches of IPv4 addresses are expected to be released towards the end of 2011, and the government is rapidly transitioning to IPv6.
In September, Federal CIO Vivek Kundra issued a comprehensive set of guidelines for implementing IPv6 in agency public-facing systems and internal networks. OMB guidelines provide Federal agencies with a roadmap to deploy IPv6-enabled network services that can support Federal agency core missions and applications.
AFFIRM’s December 16 luncheon will address how to bring your agency into compliance with the OMB mandate. During this informative luncheon, you’ll learn how to meet the IPv6 imperative to bring to your agency IPv6 capability such as:
- Integrated interoperability and mobility over an IPv6-enabled network;
- Improved security features that will afford your agency greater control over data;
- Unconstrained address abundance to serve government in the years ahead; and
- Features that provide government with opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and transparency.
Please join AFFIRM as we celebrate the season and spirit of giving with a special contribution in support of the Marine Corps' “Toys for Tots.” Bring a new toy to the AFFIRM event as a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children during the holidays. All donated toys should be unwrapped.
