I'm sure any data hosting service could do it, should you simply ask 
them (including Ubutu One, I immagine).. My suggestion, however, is fire 
the CTO.. Why on earth would you want to outsource storage for that much 
data?  The best you can hope to achieve is increase cost, increase 
potential exposure of sensitive data and decrease accountability (not a 
good thing other than some bizarre cover your ass by blaming someone 
else mentality.)
