Unlike many global providers, Impossible Cloud offers true European digital sovereignty with data protection under a single legal framework. Our proprietary, vertically integrated technology stack ensures enterprise-grade performance and efficiency.
At the same time, our transparent pricing model has no hidden fees, making costs predictable and easy to control.

Our headquarters are in Hamburg, Germany, underscoring our commitment to operating under strict European data protection laws.

Impossible Cloud is privately owned by its co-founders, Dr. Kai Wawrzinek and Dr. Christian Kaul, together with leading European venture capital firms and investors.

Impossible Cloud was founded in 2021. Since then, we have grown rapidly, now serving more than 1,000 customers and building a strong partner network across Europe.

Impossible Cloud was founded in 2021 and is still a young company in the cloud storage market. Since then, we have already established ourselves with more than 1,000+ customers and a strong partner network. Our initial focus was on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), but we now operate across all major European markets and continue to expand.
Many renowned media outlets have already reported on our growth – you can find a selection in our [-> Media Room].

We chose the name because our platform solves challenges that traditional providers left unresolved. What once seemed impossible – full control over your data at a fair price with high performance – is now possible with Impossible Cloud.

Our pricing is transparent and predictable, with no hidden fees. You only pay per terabyte of storage used. Customers can choose between a flexible pay-as-you-go plan or reserved capacity plans with long-term discounts.

We combine innovative architecture with deep expertise. Our use of erasure coding is more efficient than traditional replication, delivering durability with less overhead. We pass this savings onto you directly.
In addition, our proprietary metadata system ensures low latency and instant data access, even at scale.

You have full control over your data. There is no minimum retention period, so you never pay for deleted data and remain fully independent. Data is automatically removed from our systems once your trial ends or you terminate the service.

No. We do not charge for egress, meaning the transfer of your data out of Impossible Cloud. It is free under our fair use policy.
This allows you to access your stored data without additional costs. As a general rule, monthly egress should not exceed the volume of actively stored data.

No. Unlike many other providers, we do not charge for API calls or operational requests. Our pricing is simple and predictable — you only pay for the storage you use.

Yes. Impossible Cloud uses erasure coding to distribute data across servers, so failures do not result in data loss. As regions expand, data is also spread across multiple data centers to increase resiliency and availability.
Additional protection methods, such as backups, further enhance data security.

Impossible Cloud provides an always-hot storage model with consistently low latency and high throughput. Internal benchmarks show that our solution can be significantly faster than comparable services in the market.

Impossible Cloud Storage is designed for 99.999999999% durability (known as “11 nines”) over a year, meaning objects are highly unlikely to be lost.
We still recommend following best practices such as using versioning, access controls, and regular backups to protect against accidental or malicious deletion. Bucket-level compliance features can further prevent unwanted data removal.

Yes. Our storage is fully compatible with the AWS S3 API, making it easy to integrate existing tools and workflows. This ensures a seamless switch from other providers without the need to adapt applications or processes.

Yes. Our object Lock provides WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality, ensuring that data cannot be changed or deleted for a defined retention period. This feature is crucial for compliance requirements and effective ransomware protection.

Most Impossible Cloud customers integrate our storage in conjunction with solutions such as Veeam, Acronis, MSP360, Nakivo, and Hornetsecurity, with whom we offer deep or native integrations.
Our ecosystem continues to grow with additional technology partners. See our [Link: partner] section for more details.
