Shaw Communications later reported that ViaWest closed the purchase of all INetU shares on December 15, 2015. The locations reported at the time included a primary Pennsylvania facility and cloud capacity in Virginia, Washington, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
What ViaWest acquired
ViaWest, a Denver-based data-center and hybrid IT provider owned by Shaw Communications at the time, announced its agreement to acquire INetU on November 16, 2015. ViaWest described the announced consideration as US$162.5 million in its acquisition announcement. Shaw’s later SEC filing says ViaWest completed the purchase of 100% of INetU’s shares on December 15, 2015, and records the amount as US$162 million. Those are figures from different company records; they should not be treated as identical.
INetU was a managed hosting and cloud-services provider founded in 1996 and headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to seller BV Investment Partners’ announcement of the sale. It supported business applications in fields including ecommerce, healthcare, financial services, software as a service, education and government.
How the deal expanded ViaWest’s capabilities
The acquisition added public, private and hybrid cloud services, as well as managed security and compliance capabilities, according to Shaw’s filing and ViaWest’s announcement. ViaWest president and CEO Nancy Phillips described the strategic aim: “Our acquisition of INetU advances our offerings and strengthens our position as a premier Hybrid IT solutions provider.”

- Durability: Made of high quality cold rolled steel holds up to 110lb (50kg) (Easy Assembly Required)
- PCI & HIPPA and EIA/ECA-310-E compliant
The fit was complementary rather than a like-for-like comparison: ViaWest brought a western U.S. data-center footprint, while INetU contributed managed hosting and cloud services with East Coast and European locations. The companies presented the combination as a way to broaden infrastructure, cloud and related security and compliance offerings; the available company statements do not establish a measured performance advantage.
Where INetU’s facilities and cloud capacity were reported
Shaw’s filing described INetU as Pennsylvania-based, with a primary facility in Pennsylvania and cloud capacity in Virginia, Washington, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. ViaWest’s announcement characterized the expansion as reaching East Coast and European cloud locations. The distinction matters: the records identify one primary Pennsylvania facility and cloud capacity elsewhere, not a dedicated data-center building owned by INetU in every listed location.

The transaction records establish the announcement, closing date, stated deal amounts, service rationale and locations reported at the time. They do not establish who owns or operates the former INetU facilities today, whether each site remains open, or whether services continue under the same name. The location and service descriptions should therefore be read as a record of the 2015 acquisition, not as a current facility directory.
