Mainline Information Systems

What Mainline Information Systems does

Mainline Information Systems is a US-based IT solutions provider founded in 1989 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. The company delivers customized IT solutions across five core solution areas: Cybersecurity, Modern Data Center, Hybrid Cloud, Data & AI, and DevSecOps & Automation, supported by four service lines: Modern Data Center Services, Managed IT Services, Technology Lifecycle Solutions, and Staffing Services. Mainline serves enterprise customers in healthcare, sports, and general commercial sectors, with a primary vertical emphasis on healthcare (Mount Sinai Health System, West Tennessee Healthcare) and additional engagements with sports and technology buyers (Detroit Pistons, TRAC Solutions).

The business model is built on multi-vendor solution delivery under strategic channel and technology partnerships with IBM, Broadcom, NetApp, Dell (Titanium tier), Infinidat, Nutanix, Red Hat, VMware, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper Networks, Rubrik, and Vast Data, supplemented by customer-paid professional and managed services revenue. Mainline does not develop proprietary core technology; instead it integrates best-of-breed third-party products and wraps them with consultative design, implementation, and ongoing lifecycle management, monetized as project work, recurring managed services, and technology resale.

On April 22, 2025, H.I.G. Capital completed the acquisition of Converge Technology Solutions and merged it with Mainline Information Systems to form Pellera Technologies, a new Florida-headquartered IT solutions provider generating approximately $4 billion in 2024 revenue. Under the Pellera umbrella, the combined entity focuses on cybersecurity, cloud, and AI across North America, with operations also in Brazil via Mainline's Sao Paulo office. As of the merger date, Mainline Information Systems no longer operates as an independent entity.
