Storagepipe Solutions Inc., a Canadian company in backup and DR services, acquired GridWay Computing Corporation, Ottawa’s IT MSP for SMBs and organizations.

“Joining the Storagepipe family is a win for both GridWay and our customers,” said Lean. “We will remain independent and continue to deliver our high quality and customer focused managed services. With additional resources, we now have more opportunity to innovate with our solutions and grow our footprint within the Ottawa market. We are also excited to support and accelerate Storagepipe’s international expansion.”
