Atlanta, GA - October 23, 2007 - InfoWeapons, a global provider of network infrastructure appliances, today announced the release of SolidDNS 2.0.
SolidDNS, with release 2.0, is the first DNS appliance to deliver full DHCPv6 support. With the addition of DHCPv6 features, SolidDNS can support both stateless and stateful autoconfiguration, giving network managers greater flexibility in managing their new IPv6 networks.
Stateless autoconfiguration is a key benefit of IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. Autoconfiguration allows a device to automatically receive an IP address without contacting the server for one. This is made possible through IPv6 features such as router advertisements, neighbor discovery and duplicate-address detection. Autoconfiguration is an easier approach for smaller, less taxing networks.
Stateful address-configuration as provided by DHCPv6 delivers IP addresses and service information to devices, and both the server and the device maintain this information allowing network administrators to better monitor and maintain devices on their network.
"Our larger customers want to know who and what is on their IPv6 networks. DHCPv6 is the answer," said Luis Gopez, CEO of InfoWeapons. "InfoWeapons is fully committed to ensuring the best and most complete set of products to enable the move to IPv6. The latest version of SolidDNS is the most complete dual-stack appliance on the market".
SolidDNS also fully supports IPv4 networks and DHCPv4 as well, ensuring a smooth transition to IPv6.
"We will continue to pursue all IPv6 certifications so that our customers can rest assured that the move to the 'Next Generation Internet' will provide all the expected benefits of that move with minimal to no difficulties," added Gopez.
