Arris announces IPv6 support on ServAssure

Cable technology provider Arris has announced IPv6 support on its ServAssure performance management software platform.

ServAssure currently manages over 80 million customer premises devices worldwide, representing more than 30% of all existing in-home broadband devices, according to Arris.

“Responding to forecasts indicating that the central pool of IPv4 internet addresses would be completely depleted in 2011, we began preparing for the move to IPv6,” said Gary Cunha, Arris senior director of assurance solutions product line management. “We are now in the position to help our customers tackle today’s IP address management and shortage issues while continuing to offer a suite of comprehensive applications, for a proactive, customer-centric solution that solves network issues and improves subscriber satisfaction.”
