Offsite was founded in 2002 with the acquisition of a five-acre campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The facility was re-developed into workplace recovery space, private datacenter suites and server collocation space. Additionally Offsite maintains a Chicago collocation facility within Equinix at 350 East Cermak.

History
The company was developed with the idea that the location mid-point between Chicago and Milwaukee would offer the best communications resiliency. Fiber is provisioned from both metropolitan areas. If either city has an infrastructure disturbance, the Offsite campus will stay online.

Typical Offsite customer have Recovery Time Objectives of less than 4 hours, which was a post 911 requirement handed down by the SEC White paper Release No. 34-46432 (http://www.sec.gov/rules/concept/34-46432.htm). With this requirement, all aspects of Offsite facilities are managed as primary datacenter space, and may in fact be production for customers at any given time.
