How DIPF Leibniz Institute replaced tape storage with Impossible Cloud

Impossible Cloud — Home
I would recommend Impossible Cloud without hesitation, based on the low latency within Germany, DSGVO compliance, the price, and the proven service quality. With Impossible Cloud, we found a trustworthy partner that meets our data protection needs and simply removes those internal compliance discussions we would otherwise have with an international provider.
Klaus Brennscheidt
Head of IT Services, DIPF Leibniz Institute

The Challenge

When Klaus Brennscheidt joined DIPF as IT Head, the institute was running an unreliable, cumbersome on-premises tape storage system for VM and file server backups. Replacing it was one of his first priorities. The market leaders were evaluated but were all international providers, a concern in a research institution where data protection discussions are sensitive, and DSGVO compliance is non-negotiable.

The Solution

Impossible Cloud's German data centers, low latency, transparent pricing, and proven service quality made it the clear choice. As a German provider, it eliminated all internal compliance debates: with an international provider, questions about DSGVO adherence arise immediately. Since migration, data retrieval times have decreased, storage costs are reduced, and backup reliability has improved significantly.

The Outcome

Lower latency

and faster data retrieval

Fully GDPR

compliant setup
