Just like most folks, I’m often asked what it is that I do. And just like most folks, I describe what I do based on the person who is asking. If I am talking to a person who isn’t in the information technology field, I say:

I’m a high-tech landlord! My company is Lifeline Data Centers.

My clients are businesses, and they put their computer servers in our computer room buildings because they need those computer systems to be highly reliable. Computer outages cost our clients dearly. Computer outages can mean lost revenues, lost profits and lost clients.

Companies choose us because of our expertise in tornado resistant buildings, because our electrical power never goes off, because our air conditioning never fails, and because Internet access is readily available from many providers.

My company is Lifeline Data Centers, and we help our clients never skip a beat!

If I’m talking to information technology professionals, I say:

I am a wholesale data center provider, also known as an outsource data center or wholesale colocation facility. My company, Lifeline Data Centers, builds and operate computer rooms for companies who need 99.995% data center uptime or higher. The cost of downtime is very high for these companies. Minutes of downtime can mean thousands of dollars of lost revenues and profits.

We provide hardened data center facilities, built to the Rated-4 data center specification, with N+N data center power redundancy and cooling, multiple telecommunications carriers and no monthly cross-connect fees. We offer a simple data center pricing model and flexibility for incremental growth and change.

My company is Lifeline Data Centers, and we help our clients never skip a beat!

Bottom line? It’s about the uptime, or high computer reliability. If computer outages cost your company dearly, you may need a better solution. Affordable colocation at Lifeline Data Centers Midwest colocation facilities can make all the difference. Want to learn more? Call me at 317.423.2591.
