IPv4 Monetization:
Sell your Ipv4 address space
Focal Point: IPv4 Monetization
TorreyPoint helps monetize your unneeded IPv4 address space through a proven process including:
- Assessment - determine which addresses can be sold
- Augmentation - identify additional addresses which will become available soon
- Sale - maximize the revenues from IPv4 address sales
- Reconciliation - transfer the proceeds and document the transaction
We can also show you how IPv4 sales can offset some or all of the cost of migrating to IPv6.
IPv4 address space has value on the open market.
As the total IPv4 address space approaches full allocation, many companies are unable to get new addresses from the regional Internet registries and are forced to look for other sources. This address scarcity drives up the value of IPv4 addresses, sometimes dramatically.
At the same time, many organizations hold large blocks of IPv4 address space which are under utilized or completely unused. Many IT managers are surprised to learn that these “surplus” addresses are actually valuable assets that can generate income on the open market. However, most organizations are reluctant to have their IT professionals spend time selling addresses. TorreyPoint is ready and willing to do that task for you.
TorreyPoint’s IPv4 Monetization solution generates income by identifying unused, valuable IPv4 addresses and selling them on the open market, without draining scarce IT resources that are needed for more strategic tasks.
Tap into hidden revenues without using valuable IT resources.
There are many reasons why your organization has unused or under utilized IPv4 addresses. Some addresses may have been held in reserve for anticipated growth and thus never used. Others are freed up when you migrate to IPv6 or deploy carrier-grade network address translation (NAT). Whatever the reason, TorreyPoint has a process for monetizing your valuable IPv4 address space:
- Audit/Assessment: Our consultants audit your complete allocation of IPv4 identify unused addresses.
- Augmentation: TorreyPoint can help you free up additional IPv4 space using techniques such as reallocation to create contiguous blocks which are easier to sell.
- We can predict the coming availability of additional IPv4 addresses freed by IPv6 migration or carrier-grade NAT deployment.
- Sale: Our financial analysts use their deep understanding of the IPv4 address market to maximize the selling price for your IPv4 addresses.
- Reconciliation: TorreyPoint transfers the net proceeds to your bank account and provides documentation for internal audits
Use the windfall to fund IPv6 migration.
Selling IPv4 addresses creates a one-time windfall, but the timing can be advantageous if it coincides with your IPv6 migration. The additional income offsets some of the expense of transitioning to IPv6, in fact, some customers fund their entire IPv6 migration effort with the revenues generated by IPv4 sales - their migration is essentially free.
TorreyPoint can provide a comprehensive migration plan that coordinates IPv6 migration with IPv4 monetization and projects the net benefit from the IPv4 sales. You get a clear picture of when, how - and how much.
