Erion was a case study at the EU’s workshop on IPv6 training in Ghent, Belgium earlier this week. At the event, Erion’s David Holder presented the opening talk.

In his presentation, David set out to the lessons learned by Erion in over 12 years of providing IPv6 training. He described how Erion set about becoming the world’s leading IPv6 training company with the world’s most comprehensive set of IPv6 training courses and how they came to achieve this.

Erion’s David Holder will be presenting at the EU’s Workshop on “Skills for IPv6″ in Ghent Belgium on the 13th December 2010.

He is pleased to be invited to speak and support the EU’s efforts to encourage the adoption of IPv6 in the community. A key part of the adoption of IPv6 is the need for training.

Erion has been providing IPv6 training for over twelve years. Over that time we have created the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of IPv6 training courses. Our courses cover all aspects of IPv6 on all major platforms and operating systems, and are aimed at a wide range of different audiences, from advanced technical staff through to senior management. In over a decade, Erion has gained a wealth of experience in training all types of organisations on every aspect of IPv6. Our customers include many of the world’s leading technology and none technology companies. Well known examples include (in no particular order), The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Cisco, Ericsson, Arbor Networks, Orange, Research in Motion, Sony, EMC, Atos Origin, BAA, BBC and 3Com.

In addition to Erion’s published standard IPv6 courses, we also provide what we call “Modular IPv6 training”. In our IPv6 modular courses, we put together an IPv6 training programme for a client using modules from a number of our standard courses. This allows us to create tailored IPv6 courses for clients without the usual overheads of creating bespoke training.

Further details on Erion’s IPv6 training services can be found at our IPv6 training web-site. Please contact us for further information.


Erion is pleased to announce the scheduling of a public run of it’s flagship four day IPv6 training course Implementing IPv6 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

This IPv6 course will run from 19th July 2010 to 23rd July 2010 and will be located in training facilities close to Ljubljana. Ljubljana is easily reached from many European countries using both air and surface transport.

Slovenia has demonstrated an impressive determination to deploy IPv6 which has resulted in it leading other countries in recent measure of IPv6 deployment published by RIPE (known as IPv6 ripeness).

Further details on this IPv6 course can be found on our IPv6 training schedule. Please contact us if you require any additional information about this IPv6 training event or our other IPv6 services.


We are running our very popular 4 day Implementing IPv6 training course in London UK in April. This course covers all elements of IPv6 in detail. It is suitable for network managers, systems administrators and technologists who require in depth coverage of IPv6. The course includes comprehensive exercises that cover all aspects of IPv6.

For further details please see the course description at Implementing IPv6. If you wish to book on the course then contact us using this Contact Form.


In fact, Erion has provided IPv6 services for almost 12 years. Over this period we have a developed the world’s most comprehensive set of IPv6 training courses. We have provided IPv6 training and IPv6 consultancy services to companies across the globe including many of the world’s top companies and in particular to most of the world’s leading IT and communications companies.

During 2009, we saw a significant growth in interest in preparing for and deploying IPv6. This interest was greater than we have seen in any period in our twelve years of providing IPv6 services. This is an indication of how IPv6 is now becoming widely deployed. Many nations, global organisations and corporates now mandate the use of IPv6. As the final exhaustion of the IPv4 address space draws nearer, the IPv6 momentum will grow exponentially.

At Erion we have not stood still. We are continuing to grow our training course portfolio over and above our regular course updates. In 2010 we will be adding a number of new courses to our standard offerings. And don’t forget that we continue to offer modularised courses that can be delivered on-site and tailored to your specific requirements.

In addition to our training we are also further developing our IPv6 consultancy services. Our long experience of IPv6 deployment over many years has allowed us to develop a comprehensive IPv6 deployment methodology. This methodology draws on industry best practice in IPv6 deployment, programme and project management. Our consultants include those experienced not only in IPv6 but also in PRINCE and other methodologies.

If you require any information regarding our services please do not hesitate to contact us using the web-site contact form.

Finally, we wish you a very Happy New Year and a successful and prosperous 2010!


MYNIC (the administrator of Malaysia’s .my domain) switched on IPv6 on their domain name servers for the first time at the weekend. Malaysia now joins the growing number of country codes whose DNS is IPv6 enabled.

MYNIC’s Lai Heng Chong, said “We have successfully migrated two of our DNS servers to IPv6″. Mr Heng Chong went on to say that their DNS changes will be submitted to IANA this week.

Erion provided MYNIC with IPv6 training and consultancy during the migration to IPv6. MYNIC staff attended Erion’s Implementing IPv6 and Securing IPv6 training courses, on-site in Malaysia at MYNIC’s offices in Seri Kembang. Erion also provided on-site IPv6 consultancy on configuring IPv6 and securing MYNIC’s servers and network for IPv6.

Erion’s David Holder said, “Erion is very proud to have been a part of Malaysia’s migration to IPv6. It was a pleasure to work with the MYNIC team on this important project”.

For further information on Erion’s IPv6 services in Malaysia and elsewhere please contact David Holder on david.holder@erion.co.uk or +44(0)131 2026317 or visit Erion’s web-site at www.erion.co.uk.


Erion are running a public IPv6 training course in Washington DC, USA. The course is Erion’s flagship 4 day Implementing IPv6. The date is 9th December 2008. Further information can be found on Erion’s IPv6 training site at http://www.ipv6training.com/IPv6Courses/trainingschedule.html.


We have just added two IPv6 courses to our 2008 public training schedule. The two courses are our Implementing IPv6 and our Securing IPv6 courses. Both will run in Basingstoke, UK (near London). Futher details can be found on Erion’s IPv6 training schedule page.


In February 2008, IPv6 addresses were added for six of the world’s 13 root name servers. Now many country code top level domains (ccTLDs) also have IPv6 addresses.

This is a significant step for the widespread deployment of IPv6. Organisations can now, potentially, use only IPv6 for name resolution.

Erion has provided IPv6 consultancy and training to enable ccTLDs to IPv6 enable their domain name services. We have provided a mixture of advanced IPv6 deployment training, IPv6 security training, IPv6 implementation consultancy and IPv6 security consultancy.
