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.
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.
