One of the Internet's most pressing issues right now is the depletion of IPv4 addresses. The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has led to connectivity problems for small-to-medium enterprises. Yet, this effect is also felt by bigger enterprises seeking to extend their global reach.
This case study focuses on our client with a global reach. It aims to explore the following key problems:
This case study will explore these problems in depth, analyze the current state of IPv4 and IPv6 leasing; and propose practical solutions and recommendations to mitigate the challenges of IP4 exhaustion.
How Larus and Company A adapated a two-pronged strategy to address IPv4 needs
In light of the critical issue of IPv4 address depletion, Company A, a global giant expanding its infrastructure and serving a diverse customer base, partnered with LARUS Limited to formulate a strategic response.
Company A, in collaboration with LARUS Limited as its broker and provider, harnessed the combined advantages of IPv4 leasing and permanent IP purchases to achieve outstanding outcomes.
By engaging in IPv4 address leasing through LARUS Limited, Company A swiftly alleviated its address scarcity challenges. Leasing provided the agility needed for business expansion, allowing Company A to scale its network resources promptly as required.
Furthermore, this approach proved cost-effective, sparing Company A the burden of long-term ownership costs, as it only paid for the addresses essential to its operations.
IPv4 leasing opened the door for Company A to swiftly expand its network infrastructure. With the ability to lease additional addresses on demand, Company A ensured seamless global expansion without the complexities of procuring IPv4 addresses from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
This adaptability in addressing scalability needs translated into cost efficiency, with Company A paying only for leased addresses when necessary.
For enduring stability and full control over its IP address resources, Company A considered acquiring IPv4 addresses permanently from LARUS Limited. This avenue ensured adherence to regulatory requirements and empowered Company A with the flexibility to independently manage its IP addresses.
It also shielded Company A from the uncertainties associated with leasing arrangements, guaranteeing the perpetual availability of the acquired addresses.
Permanent IP purchases from LARUS Limited provided Company A with a robust and lasting solution to the IPv4 depletion issue.
This approach guaranteed regulatory compliance by granting Company A complete ownership and control of its acquired IPv4 addresses. It also offered the flexibility to allocate and manage addresses in accordance with Company A's unique requirements. Moreover, it shielded Company A from potential disruptions associated with leased addresses, such as lease expirations or changes in terms.
The dual strategy of IPv4 leasing and permanent IP purchases, executed in collaboration with LARUS Limited, furnished Company A with a comprehensive resolution to tackle the challenges posed by IPv4 address exhaustion.
By combining immediate scalability and cost efficiency with long-term stability and control, Company A adeptly navigated the transition to IPv6 while safeguarding its network connectivity and competitive edge in an ever-evolving internet landscape.
These strategies empowered Company A to optimize its IP address resources, ensuring a secure, gradual transition to IPv6 while remaining cost-effective and adaptable while dealing with a fiercely competitive IPv4 market.
By adapting a two-fold strategy with Larus Limited, Company A was able to effectively mitigate IPv4 address shortages, ensure a secure transition to IPv6, and maintain a competitive edge.
Like Company A, other organizations can implement Larus Limited's services to effectively solve issues caused by IPv4 shortage and remain competitive as IPv4 supplies continue to dwindle.
