IPR Secure, a proven and trusted hybrid cloud service provider, today announced the availability of IPR Cloud Object Storage. This low-cost object storage solution is designed for highly regulated organizations seeking to store or archive large amounts of data while still meeting immutability requirements. IPR Cloud Object Storage connects to any device through a unique, secure URL so it can be used for backing up files, archiving data and for file-sharing.

The high-powered vehicles competing in Formula One Grand Prix races are backed by equally high-tech teams of technicians and engineers. These teams make extensive use of cloud services in their quest to defeat their rivals and cross the finish line first. With margins of victory measured in the hundredths of seconds, Formula One teams strive to gain an edge by employing cutting-edge technology. 

The cloud may seem to be an ephemeral concept, and is marketed as a way to eliminate concerns over storage capacity. But all that data needs to actually be stored somewhere, and that means large data centers are required to serve the storage needs of cloud customers. While cloud customers enjoy the flexibility of storage on demand, their cloud providers do not share that luxury. They need to provide real storage to handle the needs of their clients.
