onShore began in 1991 as a freelance adjunct to Stel Valavanis´ job as Network Analyst at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. With Stel´s technical expertise backing the growing team, onShore´s suite of services expanded significantly over the next few years. As our reputation as systems integrators grew, onShore also developed a number of opportunities to incubate a fledgling application, database and Web development team that has since been rolled out into a separate entity.
In 1997, onShore purchased and renovated a hundred year old building strategically located at 1407 W. Chicago Avenue to better provide the 2-hour emergency response our clients have come to expect. From this location, close to downtown and with proximity to the Kennedy and Eisenhower, onShore consultants can reach most clients very quickly. In addition, we have a permanent, comfortable space for our remote management, monitoring and administrative teams to work in and for our clients to visit.
Since 2000, onShore´s focus has been on fine-tuning our suite of Managed Security, Managed IT, ISP and Colocation Services, which are packaged under the umbrella of completeIT® services. These products include onShore onLine ISP Services, 24/7/365 onShore Spectrum Managed IT Fixed-Price Maintenance, onShore onGuard security and monitoring in addition to onShore onDemand client project work, hardware and software sales.
Our newest completeIT® offering, onShore Colocation service was recently launched with the build of our new Data Center facility located at 216 W Jackson in downtown Chicago. This 3000 square foot facility provides amenities of a tier one facility but at a fraction of the cost. Our facility is manned 24x7x365, provides access to 1.6Gbps of upstream bandwidth, brand new rack systems and redundant backup power generation.
