Probably just the address of a datacenter, anon Softlayer has server farms in Dallas, DC, Seattle and probably a few other regions. The address means nothing.
It's like the address of GoDaddy not very meaningful.
More useful would be who has recently hosted something using that IP address.
Don't know - I am phonefagging, maybe you are on to something.
Softlayer means nothing, who was using the IP is the data to dig for.
Silly.
Point is, find out who uses the IP, such as a web site or email address hosted at the IP.
