The Internet Society has launched Deploy360, a programme that aims to "provide real-world deployment information initially for IPv6 and DNSSEC and, over time, for additional Internet technologies."

Leslie Daigle, chief Internet technology officer for ISOC said: "2012 will be a pivotal year in IPv6 service deployment, and the Deploy360 Programme (www.internetsociety.org/deploy360) is a key component of our efforts to support the industry in making that transition."

Deploy360 is designed to be a go-to information source to assist network operators, developers, content providers, consumer electronics manufacturers and enterprise customers with the implementation of new Internet technologies and standards.

Components of the new Deploy360 Programme will include:
- A growing web portal with hands-on technical resources and educational articles, operational best practices, case studies, and in-depth deployment information;

- Four ION Conferences each year to bring together network engineers and leading industry experts;

- Social media interactions to encourage year-round deployment discussions;

- Speaking engagements at technical industry conferences and events around the globe, including a tutorial on IPv6 in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show.
