Heavy oil

The IT investments are driven by the exploration, operations and collaboration ambitions

•  Seismic imaging and interpretation are essential for prioritising new opportunities

•  High Performance Computing (HPC) is essential for exploration success in sub-salt and other geologically complex areas

Operations and Collaboration Exploration Ambitions

•  Integrated operations – real-time communication for efficient interaction between experts and decision-makers, regardless of location

•  Improved capability to collaborate and share information across the value chain and across locations to support Statoil’s international growth

Why IPv6? – same reasons as everybody else

•  Global IPv4 address depletion – some time in 2012

−  Ex. http://ipv4.potaroo.net

−  Asia to face the biggest challenge over the next years

•  Increased mobile connectivity worldwide

•  Anywhere, Anytime access for Everything

•  New applications developed for IPv6 only

•  Protocol enhancements for security, mobility, QoS and performance

•  Future end-to-end IP transparency - no NAT and no disjoint IP routing (home, office, extranet, Internet)

•  IT infrastructure is transparent and support global business processes in terms of

−  Local needs

−  Need to be “self-contained”

−  Optimized performance

−  Compliance

−  Need to scale and adapt as business change

•  Utilize global marked for IT services

A global IT infrastructure supporting local needs

• wikipedia.org …is a transition technology that gives full IPv6 connectivity for IPv6-capable hosts which are on the IPv4

• 

Implemention - 1

•  We have provider independent IPv6 address-space

•  IPv6 has been running in our LAB environment for 2 years (isolated LAN, FW and Internet-access using PA addresses)

•  IPv6 is running on all backbone routers in Norway

•  IPv6 is running in part of the IT department network

−  Some users have been moved to test servers (home disk)

−  One of LAB proxies is enabled to support IPv6

−  Working on LoadBalancers to be able to support a IPv6 frontend without changing the IPv4 server backend

Implementation - 2

•  We are done testing. Todo:

−  Decide how to do DNS

−  Decide how to do DHCP. Stateless, Statefull of both?

−  Enable IPv6 on production server VLAN’s

−  Enable IPv6 on production Internet FW’s

−  IPv6 support in our global and local Managed Service networks (managed MPLS-VPN)

−  Everywhere (LAN and WLAN)
