Network infrastructure services provider Heficed has struck a deal with IP data providers IPinfo.io to provide Heficed’s IP Address Market access to enhanced IP address information, letting it grow a web infrastructure ecosystem that can ensure IP address accuracy surpasses current standards and increases industry transparency.
The pair expect keen interest from their clients. IPinfo.io, which specialises in providing enhanced IP Address data, will be able to offer its clients access to a large pool of IPv4 addresses via Heficed, as an extension to the standard set of data services .
IPinfo CEO Ben Dowling said: “Companies should be able to easily lease unused IPv4 addresses to other businesses that face IPv4 shortages, and the IP Address Market is a great and easy to use solution. To this end, we’re joining forces with Heficed in order to provide reliable and accurate IP data, and facilitate the IPv4 leasing process.”
Heficed will integrate IPinfo API within IP Address Market, a marketplace where companies that have excess unused IPs can lease them to companies that face IPv4 shortages. IPinfo.io will not be the only IP database that Heficed is integrating within the IP Address Market – but one of the tools to increase IP accuracy for better geolocation accuracy and overall transparency.
Heficed CEO Vincentas Grinius, said: “Having built the IP Address Market, we wanted to give these large businesses a chance to monetize those unused resources, but we always felt that they needed additional reassurances in knowing who will operate the IPs at all times. Over the past year we have enhanced our abuse management system, and now, integrating IPinfo solution with the IP Address Market, we can provide the best IP data accuracy on the market, crucial in building trust in the IP address leasing model.”
IP leasing is growing in popularity, it appears.
