Will the new infrastructure IPv6 compliant? or is it still only IPv4?

I just read an article that reminded me of the move to IPv6, and the need to make sure all your newly bought business equipment will handle IPv6 when it actually is "deployed" for Internet's URL/IP-address use.

Enterprise Networking: IPv6: What You Need to Know About the Move From IPv4
By Darryl K. Taft | Posted 2012-09-21

"The Number Resource Organization said the world officially ran out of IPv4 addresses in February 2011, and according to the Internet Society"

"According to the results from a survey measuring Ipv6 deployment, more than 70 percent of the 1,600 respondents worldwide—half of which were Internet Service Providers (ISPs)—said they plan to deploy IPv6 on their networks by the end of 2012."

"There is no specific date when everything needs to be upgraded to IPv6 (although some organizations, including governments, have already identified target dates for their own IPv6 implementation). IPv6 and its transition mechanisms have been designed for a long period of co-existence with IPv4, and IPv4-only systems and applications are expected to survive for many years. However, IPv6-only systems will eventually hit the market, and many users are likely to be in emerging business markets and developing countries."

"The core IPv6 specifications increasingly are becoming available as a standard part of product and service offerings. However, not all products are fully IPv6-capable right now, and some significant upgrade gaps remain, especially in low-end consumer equipment. Similarly, while many software applications and operating systems (especially in open-source code) have already been updated for IPv6, not all products (including some from major vendors) are fully IPv6-ready."
