Graduates
Innovation Park at Notre Dame provides transitional office and lab space along with business acceleration services. By design, Innovation Park is not intended to be a permanent home for our clients.
In fact, our goal is to help clients "graduate" quickly and move into the marketplace with a leg up. If a client has graduated it means they have achieved the important business milestones they have been working towards from the day they entered the Park.
We are very proud of our graduates and wish them bright futures full of commercial achievements.

Data Realty is a 2011 graduate of Innovation Park. The company will break ground this fall on a 50,000 sq. ft. data center in Ignition Park in South Bend. Data Realty will house clients main and backup computer systems in a facility that will be staffed 24x7x365 and will feature redundant power, cooling, and connectivity infrastructure. Data Realty's goal is to be positioned to handle cloud based computing, which is expected to be the next big wave of technology adaptation. In a cloud environment organizations connect to servers over the Internet in remote locations and have accessibility in real time on numerous devices. It is Data Realty's belief that the driving factors behind the computing of tomorrow will be the cost of power, the availability of fiber, and the cost and availability of technical talent. South Bend is the company's chosen location because of these competitive advantages. In the future, when computing can go anywhere, Data Realty believes it can make a strong case to locate it in South Bend. Visit www.data-realty.com for more information.
