News Release

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Lifeline Data Centers, a Tier 4 data center founded in Indianapolis, has announced its intention to establish a new data center facility in Fort Wayne. Since 2001, Lifeline has been serving companies in industries such as healthcare, software development, utilities, life sciences and government by providing a high level of offsite data security solutions decreasing the risk of downtime and associated expenses.

Lifeline maintains a current SSAE 16 Type II Audit Report and as a compliance boutique, has in-house compliance experts.

Lifeline is working with its real estate representatives and Greater Fort Wayne Inc. to perform its due diligence on a site location, which will be announced in the near future.

“We are very excited to finally be a direct part of the Fort Wayne business community. Lifeline is committed to driving significant technology infrastructure into Ft Wayne,” said Lifeline Data Centers Co-Owner, Alex Carroll. “As a private company making an investment in Fort Wayne's technology infrastructure, we will assist to enhance the capabilities of the community through providing data center services to the Northeast Indiana market.”
