IPv6 Buzz 075: Why Wells Fargo Bought Into IPv6

In this week’s IPv6 Buzz episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom chat with John Burns, a lead architect at Wells Fargo, about the relatively early adoption of IPv6 at the company. The discussion also covers IPv6 adoption trends in the financial sector as a whole, along with the key challenges and opportunities of the protocol. Topics discussed include: * Do financial enterprises need to adopt IPv6? * What are the business drivers for IPv6 adoption in banking? * Application challenges financial institutions face making it difficult to adopt and deploy IPv6 * Does adopting a new networking protocol like IPv6 impact compliance with industry standards (some legally/legislatively mandated)? * How do businesses organizations that interact with financial institutions have to think differently about adopting IPv6?
