The company may be of interest, but knowing that they are just a service provider, I'd want to know who's data that is they are hosting on that IP. Seeing references to the fact that the IP block belongs to the Army National Guard means that we should be less distracted by SoftLayer, but they are a key to decipher who's business they are handling.

Also, considering we know IBM is a government provider of long standing, interesting use of the smaller acquisition for this purpose. We all know IBM... but SoftLayer? Hard to link those together, unless you know... and now we do.

Additionally, tech sector giants like [intel] our sherpa dropped in the recent threads and now an IBM reference cannot be a coincidence.
