IPR International Nominated One of Philadelphia’s Fastest Growing Companies for Four Years in a Row

Philadelphia, PA, February 22, 2008 – For the fourth consecutive year, Conshohocken based IPR International has been nominated as one the “Fastest Growing Companies” in the Philadelphia Region. The Philadelphia 100® is an annual program conducted by the Entrepreneurs' Forum of Greater Philadelphia, Philadelphia Business Journal and Wharton Small Business Development Center. The 2008 Philadelphia 100® marks the 20th anniversary of this event. This honor comes on the heels of IPR being recognized by Inc Magazine as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America!

Founded in 2002, IPR specializes in the development and deployment of data protection and data recovery services. Partnering with companies like EMC, CA, Data Domain, NetApp and others, IPR takes a best-of-breed approach for each client, designing unique solutions to meet or exceed the clients’ Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).

IPR recently announced the opening of their first Disaster Recovery Center, near Reading, PA. This facility gives IPR the distinction of being one of the few Managed Service Providers in the country to also offer full Disaster Recovery services to their clients. IPR’s unique approach to DR, where each client is afforded a dedicated recovery environment as compared to the typical, more traditional shared environment put emphasis on speed to recovery, not just the basic ability to recover.

Currently protecting client data in 17 countries around the world, IPR manages hundreds of terabytes of storage through a service offering that includes high availability for immediate failover, replication, disk-to-disk backup and a suite of archiving solutions for email, images and files systems. “We are extremely honored to be so recognized by the business leaders and press community of our region,” said Mike Emmi, Chairman and CEO of IPR International. “We are, once again, truly gratified to be among the nominees of so many wonderful organizations in this region.”
