August 1, 2025 - IPClear, a leading provider of network infrastructure solutions, is proud to announce the successful completion of a transformative IT project in collaboration with St. Catherine University. Executed in real-time during the academic year, this initiative represents a significant step forward in modernizing and future-proofing the university’s network.
The collaboration achieved several strategic goals, most notably the monetization of IPv4 address space, providing St. Catherine University with a meaningful revenue infusion.
IPClear’s turnkey managed services enabled the university to execute this initiative efficiently with minimal strain on internal IT resources.
“IPClear’s approach gave us out-of-the-box capabilities that accelerated our timelines while conserving our team’s bandwidth,” said Jean Guezmir, Chief Information Officer at St. Catherine University. “Their team worked seamlessly with ours and delivered results that exceeded expectations.”
Key outcomes of the project included the acquisition and deployment of a right-sized block of IPv4 addresses, seamless migration of external and on-premises network services, and upgrades that strengthened security and simplified operations. The project also reduced St. Catherine’s network attack surface and perimeter exposure, an essential advancement in the university’s ongoing efforts to safeguard digital resources for faculty, staff, and students.
The modernization effort also laid critical groundwork for future enhancements, including the deployment of IPv6. This strategic direction supports research, innovation, and the university’s commitment to staying at the forefront of IT infrastructure trends.
Looking ahead, St. Catherine University and IPClear will continue working together to expand IPv6 readiness and support the evolution of the university’s network services in alignment with its academic and operational goals.
This real-time, collaborative effort underscores IPClear’s commitment to delivering high-impact solutions tailored to the unique needs of mission-driven institutions like St. Catherine University. Together, the partnership has positioned the university for continued innovation and long-term success.
