The First Cloud Solution in Europe to Support IPv6
About a month ago we were contacted by the technical team at 3Tera asking if we would like to be involved in an historic demonstration – the first use of IPv6 in cloud computing. Since we’ve been experimenting with IPv6 in our data center over the past year, we jumped at the chance to be involved. ScaleUp, along with 3Tera & a data center in the US, Cari.net, successfully demonstrated database replication between applications running in two different cloud provider datacenters using an IPv6 VPN tunnel created with 3Tera’s new VPN catalog appliance.
An exceprt from the recent press release… “By running their applications on the ScaleUp grid, we enable our customers to use IPv6 with their applications” said Christoph Streit, founder of ScaleUp Technologies. “This is possible, because the application is not aware of the underlying IP configuration. The whole IP configurations is done by the ScaleUp grid, so the customers software does not have to be changed in order to use IPv6.”
This is game-changing for the Cloud & IT/data center operations in general. We are very excited to be a leader in the use of IPv6 in a european cloud and look forward to helping to set the standard for other professional cloud providers. You can read more about this in our press releases :

The buzz about this industry first has been tremendous – leading to articles in major journals & blogs around the world. This is an exciting time for everyone here at ScaleUp.
