Unlock predictable costs, seamless S3 compatibility, and robust ransomware protection with a cloud storage solution designed for EU enterprises and MSPs.

In 2025, European IT leaders face a critical challenge: balancing cloud adoption with the absolute need for data control. Dependence on non-EU providers creates exposure to regulations like the CLOUD Act and unpredictable costs from egress fees, impacting over 10% of cloud budgets. The solution lies in a sovereign-by-design cloud speicher. This model offers GDPR compliance, country-level geofencing, and a transparent economic model. For enterprises and MSPs, this means achieving resilience and regulatory alignment without sacrificing performance. It's a direct path to lower lock-in risk and stronger governance.

Schlüsselpunkte

  • Achieve true digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance with cloud speicher operated exclusively in certified EU data centers, free from non-EU regulations like the CLOUD Act.
  • Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs with a transparent pricing model that has zero egress fees, no API call charges, and no minimum storage durations.
  • Protect against ransomware and ensure business continuity with immutable backups using S3 Object Lock, supported by an "Always-Hot" architecture for instant data access.

Secure EU Data Sovereignty and Eliminate Regulatory Risk

A strong majority of EU decision-makers now prioritize European solutions for critical infrastructure. Storing data within certified European data centers ensures full GDPR compliance and avoids CLOUD Act exposure. This approach provides legal certainty for regulated workloads in sectors like financial services. Country-level geofencing keeps data within predefined regions under strict EU rules. This strategy directly addresses the 46% of organizations that identify regulatory compliance as their top factor when choosing a cloud provider. True digital sovereignty means your data is subject only to the laws of the country where it is stored. This control is the foundation for building a resilient and compliant digital strategy for 2025 and beyond.

Adopt Predictable Cloud Economics Without Hidden Fees

Many companies feel locked into providers due to complex pricing, where egress fees can consume up to 15% of the total cloud bill. A transparent pricing model eliminates egress fees, API call costs, and minimum storage duration charges entirely. This predictability is a significant advantage for MSPs, enabling stable and defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service offerings. This model removes the financial penalties for accessing your own data. You can find more about our transparent costs online. This economic clarity, combined with performance parity, is a primary driver for switching cloud providers. It allows for accurate budget forecasting and removes the risk of unexpected costs that impact revenue.

Leverage an Always-Hot Architecture with Full S3 Compatibility

Fragile tiering models create operational complexity, leading to restore delays and API timeouts. An "Always-Hot" object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible with predictable latencies. This architecture eliminates single points of failure and supports mixed workloads, from millions of small files to large-scale archives. Full S3-API compatibility protects your existing investments. Your established tools, scripts, and applications continue to work without code rewrites, minimizing migration risk. Key enterprise-ready capabilities include:

  • Support for advanced S3 operations like versioning and lifecycle management.
  • Strong read/write consistency for data integrity under load.
  • Multi-AZ replication to ensure high availability and resilience.
  • Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools like NovaBackup.

This consistent, high-performance access strengthens recovery operations and simplifies IT management.

Strengthen Ransomware Protection and Ensure Compliance

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup repositories, with a 68% success rate in disabling recovery capabilities. Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock provides a powerful defense, making backups unchangeable for a defined retention period. This feature is a core component of a modern cloud backup strategy. This ensures a clean, reliable copy of data is always available for recovery. Our platform is designed for regulatory readiness, aligning with key EU directives. We help you meet your obligations with the following built-in features:

  1. GDPR Alignment: Operates exclusively in certified EU data centers to meet data residency rules.
  2. EU Data Act (Sept 2025): Ensures data portability by design, proving a real exit path with no lock-in.
  3. NIS-2 Directive: Supports continuous security processes, including supply-chain assurance and incident reporting.
  4. Multi-Layer Security: Implements encryption in transit and at rest, plus IAM with MFA/RBAC.

This security-first approach turns regulatory requirements into a competitive advantage.

Enable Channel Partners with a Predictable and Scalable Platform

For MSPs and resellers, predictable margins are essential for building profitable services. A zero-egress-fee model provides the financial stability needed for BaaS and archiving solutions. The platform is partner-ready, featuring a multi-tenant console with robust role-based access control and MFA. Automation via API/CLI and detailed reporting simplify multi-tenant management. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK have expanded local access for hundreds of resellers. This growing ecosystem provides partners with the tools and support needed for fast onboarding and scalable growth. Explore the partner advantages on our website.

Execute a Seamless and Risk-Free Migration

Migrating to a new cloud speicher should not require a complete overhaul of your IT pipelines. With full S3-API compatibility, the transition is straightforward and protects past investments in tools and training. Existing applications and scripts connect to the new endpoint without code rewrites. This compatibility minimizes migration risk and operational disruption significantly. A proven bulk data movement process preserves metadata, versions, and access information, ensuring a complete exit strategy. This preserves your long-term freedom of action and negotiation power.

FAQ

Is your cloud speicher fully GDPR compliant?

Yes. Our service is sovereign by design, operating exclusively in certified European data centers. This ensures your data is geofenced within the EU, adhering strictly to GDPR requirements for data residency and governance.


Can I use my existing backup software with your storage?

Absolutely. Our platform offers full S3-API compatibility, ensuring out-of-the-box integration with leading backup and archiving tools, including solutions from partners like NovaBackup. Your existing workflows, scripts, and applications will continue to function without modification.


What makes your pricing model different?

Our pricing is predictable by design. We charge for storage used without any hidden fees. This means there are no egress fees for data retrieval, no charges for API calls, and no minimum storage duration requirements, giving you complete cost transparency.


How do you ensure data resilience and availability?

Our architecture is built to eliminate single points of failure, featuring multi-AZ replication and an "Always-Hot" storage model. This means all your data is immediately accessible with high availability and consistent performance, without the delays associated with tiered storage.


What is S3 Object Lock and why is it important?

S3 Object Lock is a feature that makes data immutable, meaning it cannot be deleted or overwritten for a specified time. It is a critical defense against ransomware, as it ensures that even if your primary systems are compromised, your backup data remains secure and available for recovery.


How do you support MSPs and channel partners?

We provide a partner-ready platform with a multi-tenant console, role-based access control (RBAC), and automation via API/CLI. Our predictable pricing model with no egress fees allows partners to build services with stable, defensible margins. We also offer support through our growing distributor network, including api (DE) and Northamber plc (UK).
