WILMINGTON, DE — DeSales University, in collaboration with IPClear, has successfully completed a transformative project aimed at modernizing its IT infrastructure. The initiative was executed in real-time throughout the academic year, demonstrating a significant stride in technological advancements for the Pennsylvania-based Catholic university.
The joint venture was multifaceted, with a primary goal of monetizing IPv4 addresses. This strategic move enabled DeSales University to generate substantial one-time revenue. IPClear’s managed services were instrumental in ensuring the swift and efficient execution of the project while optimizing limited campus resources.
Mark Albert, Chief Information Officer (CIO) of DeSales University, praised IPClear’s contribution, stating, “IPClear’s turnkey solutions and managed services have accelerated our progress by providing us with drop-in capabilities.”
IPClear’s established relationships and industry expertise were pivotal in enabling DeSales University to obtain optimal value throughout the project. However, the benefits extended beyond financial gains. The partnership resulted in a modernized network infrastructure, bolstered network security, and future-proofed the university’s IT capabilities, including readiness for the deployment of IPv6.
A key aspect of the collaboration was IPClear’s management of the migration of third-party on-site and external network services. The company also oversaw the acquisition and deployment of a new, appropriately-sized block of IPv4 addresses. This showcased the efficiency and dedication of the partnership.
This strategic move aligns with DeSales University’s commitment to enhancing network security and performance. The project achieved a significant reduction in potential attack surface area and perimeter, reflecting the university’s proactive approach to rightsizing IPv4. This not only enhances the experience for faculty, staff, and students but also fortifies external services.
Looking forward, the collaboration is set to focus on the deployment of IPv6. This will further support network evolution and research, positioning DeSales University at the forefront of technological advancements. The future-ready IT infrastructure promises to meet the evolving needs of the academic community.
