ColoHouse Acquires Steadfast - A Cloud, Bare Metal and Data Center Provider in the Mid-West

January 11, 2022

MIAMI, FL – ColoHouse, a leading IT platform provider offering colocation, cloud, and IT services, announces its acquisition of Steadfast, a cloud, bare metal, and data center provider in the Midwest. The acquisition includes three colocation data center locations, along with proven enterprise-class cloud, and hosting solutions. For the last 20 years, Steadfast has offered customized services at all stages of IT architecture, design, management and infrastructure expansion planning. 

The acquisition of Steadfast becomes the fifth acquisition ColoHouse completed in 2021  

“2021 was a busy year for ColoHouse. We are delighted to bring Paul Voswinkel and his team at Steadfast on board to reinforce an already powerful, robust IT platform across a diverse geographic footprint,” said Paul Bint, CEO of ColoHouse. “Steadfast brings solid and complete cloud solution offerings to the ColoHouse portfolio, further enriching an already strong cloud portfolio. With this acquisition, ColoHouse adds two data center locations in the most connected buildings in the Midwest - 725 S. Wells and 350 E. Cermak in Chicago. Additionally, we acquired Steadfast’s location in the Iron Mountain building in Edison, New Jersey.”

“What ColoHouse is building is truly something no other company is doing in our space. The ColoHouse team has the vision to build a company that aligns with Steadfast’s motto, ‘We make IT work, so you can take care of business’,”  adds Paul Voswinkel, CFO and interim-CEO of Steadfast, whom was advised by Houlihan Lokey during the acquisition process. “ColoHouse is bringing together best in breed digital infrastructure solutions to create a single IT provider that can deliver complete enterprise solutions. The Steadfast team, paired with the ColoHouse group, will be the most talented team in the industry specializing in products across the IT stack.” 

ColoHouse was acquired by a financial venture between fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty (1547) and Valterra Partners to serve as the retail colocation and services company of the 1547 group. Through the acquisition of Steadfast’s colocation space in 725 S. Wells, ColoHouse will be launching its second retail colocation location in a 1547 building. 

“Over the last year ColoHouse has increased its retail space from two flagship data center locations to nine data center locations offering colocation footprints from half cabinets to multi-megawatt data center halls. The acquisition of Steadfast further solidifies fifteenfortyseven Critical Realty Systems (1547) and ColoHouse partnership and presence in Chicago and the Midwest. ColoHouse is continuing to position itself in key markets across the United States,” comments John Bonczek, Chief Revenue Officer for ColoHouse and 1547. “Through the acquisition of Steadfast’s colocation space in 725 S. Wells, ColoHouse will be launching its second retail colocation location in a 1547 building.”

During 2021, ColoHouse has added: 

  • Seven metropolitan locations in Dallas, Phoenix, Albany, Colorado Springs, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Edison (This is in addition to existing locations in Orangeburg, NY, Miami, FL and The Hague, The Netherlands)
  • Enterprise cloud solutions including private cloud (VMware), hybrid cloud, and public cloud connectivity
  • Cloud storage with Wasabi Cloud Storage
  • Virtual data center platform
  • Cloud hubs in Atlanta and Phoenix
  • 1,500+ bare metal clients
  • Managed Security
  • Backup, Disaster Recovery and DRaaS 

ColoHouse will continue to execute on integrations of Lume Cloud, Data102, Quonix, Turnkey Internet, and Steadfast throughout 2022. The company is focused on creating an industry-leading IT platform and one-of-a-kind customer partnerships and experiences. 


 What Does This Mean for Steadfast and Our Customers?

What is going to happen to the Steadfast brand? Steadfast will become part of ColoHouse. Brand integrations and mergers take time and we will be updating Steadfast customers as we go on when they would see changes to their invoices, company emails, etc. The Steadfast website will still be up and functioning as per usual until further notice.

How does this impact my business as a Steadfast customer? ColoHouse will assume all existing contracts and will conduct business as usual on a day-to-day basis. Our team and services remain in place and will continue to support you as we always have. ColoHouse and Steadfast are working to make this merger as smooth as possible. We will be notifying our customers when any changes would occur via email. Effective immediately, ColoHouse and Steadfast customers can have their accounts reviewed and receive a free consultation to see if any new products could be a business fit.

Who is ColoHouse? ColoHouse has capitalized on critical acquisitions and partnerships, evolving into a preeminent global data center player. Most recently, ColoHouse was acquired by 1547 Critical Systems Realty and Valterra Partners to create a dominant data center and cloud solutions company that is ready to address the complex needs of its customers.
