  • Data Center and Colocation

Steadfast is a Chicago cloud and colocation provider offering hosting, managed Azure, Microsoft 365 and backup and recovery. It pairs its own data center presence with cloud consulting and engineering, so a company can place hardware, host in the cloud, and get help designing and running it from one provider. Its anchor is a presence in the 350 East Cermak data center in Chicago, one of the most interconnected multi-tenant facilities in the Midwest, with more than 70 network providers reachable inside it. Around colocation it offers public and private cloud hosting, managed Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, backup and disaster recovery, and compliance-aligned managed security bundles. For a buyer in or near Chicago, Steadfast is a single provider for the data center and the cloud on top of it.

Best for

  • Companies that want colocation in a heavily interconnected Chicago data center with many network and cloud options on site.
  • Organizations that want cloud hosting with consulting and engineering help, beyond raw capacity.
  • Businesses running Microsoft Azure or Microsoft 365 that want them managed for them.
  • Regulated organizations that need managed security aligned to standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA or FISMA.

A company that needs a wide national footprint, or only self-service public cloud, is a different fit. Steadfast's strength is its Chicago data center and hands-on cloud services.

What they offer

Colocation. Colocation in the 350 East Cermak data center in Chicago, one of the most interconnected multi-tenant facilities in the Midwest, with more than 70 network providers on site, 24-hour physical security, biometric access and strong fire protection.

Good to know

How buying works

The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.

Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
