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)
