One of the reasons why I enjoy working at Cisco is because of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. Recently, I have been helping to put together this year’s UK & Ireland CSR report and I have to say, I have been moved and truly touched by the dedication and enthusiasm of Cisco employees to give back and make meaningful change to our local communities. From mentoring young offenders to helping orphaned children in Africa, they are engaging the power of the human network to change the way the world works, lives, plays and learns for the better.
Less than a week from today, VMworld 2011 will be in full motion, bringing together 20,000 IT professionals looking to learn how to bring together Virtualization, Cloud Computing, and new Applications to improve their IT environment and ultimately their businesses. As a Diamond Sponsor, Cisco will obviously have a huge presence all around the show. Super Sessions, Podcasts, Live Demos, Tweetups, Ask the Experts events, Hands-On Labs, and lots of fun things in the Cisco booth (#700). If you’re attending VMworld, you’ll get to see the byproduct of all the hard work and efforts to bring knowledge to these IT professionals and Cisco customers.
But this year we thought it would also be fun to bring you a day-by-day, behind-the-scenes look at how all of this is coming together.
To keep up with everything Cisco @ VMworld 2011, we recommend you follow @ciscoDC and #ciscovmw.

IPv4 addresses have run out. Many service providers today are implementing or beginning to plan for the transition to IPv6.

Starting in 2005, Comcast began putting together deployment plans for IPv6 in order to address the IPv4 address run-out and to be ready to offer their customers new services that take advantage of IPv6.
