The U.S. government has established September 30, 2025, as the deadline for transitioning 80% of the systems used by federal agencies and contractors from IPv4 to IPv6-only networks. Although this date may seem distant, it is vital to start planning now, especially since complex integrations and upgrades will be required. Fortunately, you won’t need to worry whether Server Technology Rack PDUs will be compatible with IPv6. Server Technology PRO3X and PRO4X Rack PDUs now carry two important certifications: IPv6 Ready Gold Logo and USGv6-r1 certification.
