What is IPv6 Customer challenges Considerations Evaluation criteria Blue Coat solutions Summary 2 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
What is IPv6
New Internet Protocol born in 1993 Increases address space by 4x Simplifies headers Replaces IPv4, but can also co-exist Core network infrastructure has been upgraded 3 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
Customer Challenges
Elimination of NAT firewall Broader risk surface area Greater risk to internal network (from outside) New (NAT-challenged) apps/services available Extending security policy Maintaining visibility 4 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
Network Design Considerations
Compliance & backhaul requirements
Asymmetric routing

The Right Solution
Provides evolution from IPv4 Mature, customer-proven solution Technical understanding of IPv6 Focus on application requirements Balance of performance & control 6 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
Blue Coat Expertise
Began IPv6 program in 2004 Shipped first alpha release in 2005 Operated beta program on native IPv6 backbone Active participation in IETF & IPv6 Forum Patented IPv6 proxy technologies Beta available now; GA release planned for 2H CY09 7 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
Power of Blue Coat ProxySG
Fills NAT gap Broad protocol support Full visibility including SSL Rich, per-user policy Application prioritization Acceleration & bandwidth optimization ProxySG is leader – Market leader in Secure Web Gateway & WAN optimization – Used by 97 of global F100 & the world’s top ten telcos 8 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009. All Rights Reserved.
Transition to IPv6
ProxySG deployed today for IPv4 eases transition – Extend policies to IPv6 – IPv4-only apps/services with IPv6-only users & vice-versa Full connection termination – No need for translation – Mask internal network architecture Enforce IPv6 end-to-end communication model 9 © Blue Coat Systems, Inc. 2009.
