Steadfast Networks was a Chicago, Illinois-based Internet service provider primarily focused on Cloud Computing, Dedicated Servers and Colocation. Founded in 1998 by then high-school student Karl Zimmerman[2] in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Steadfast Networks was acquired by ColoHouse, a global provider of colocation, cloud, and managed services, in 2021.[3] It was originally a division of Nozone, Inc., a company founded by Zimmerman and incorporated in 2000.[1]
In 2008, Steadfast Networks was named number 370 on the Inc 500 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America List[4] and was on the Inc 5000 List of the Largest Companies in America in both 2009[5] and 2010.[6]
In 2021, ColoHouse acquired Steadfast Networks, including its three data center locations in Chicago and Edison, New Jersey. The acquisition also included Steadfast's cloud and hosting solutions.[3] Steadfast's then-CFO Paul Voswinkel stated that "ColoHouse is bringing together best in breed digital infrastructure solutions to create a single IT provider that can deliver complete enterprise solutions."[3]
Locations
Prior to its acquisition, Steadfast had datacenter facilities in three locations: Two in downtown Chicago[7] and one in Edison, New Jersey.[8] These locations were incorporated into the ColoHouse portfolio following the acquisition.
Steadfast also maintained a private network with peering points throughout the United States along with London and Amsterdam.[9]
