Exposing the True Cost of Cold Storage Latency

Traditional cold storage is designed for inactive data, leading to significant retrieval delays. These systems can take hours or even days to restore critical files, impacting business continuity. A 2024 industry report showed that 45% of businesses experienced operational disruption due to slow data recovery. For disaster recovery scenarios, this latency is a critical failure point. Many businesses underestimate the 60% productivity loss during data access delays. This model, while cheap for storage, imposes high indirect costs. The alternative is an S3-compatible object storage that keeps all data active. This approach eliminates the trade-off between cost and access speed.

Navigating German Data Sovereignty and GDPR Compliance

For German businesses, data sovereignty is a primary concern, with 73% of users preferring EU server locations. Storing data outside the EU risks exposure to foreign laws, a direct conflict with GDPR principles. Our platform guarantees EU data residency with country-level geofencing in certified European data centers. This design ensures you avoid CLOUD Act exposure entirely. We provide a 100% EU-governed environment for absolute legal certainty. This focus on sovereign cloud storage is no longer optional. It is a core requirement for modern data governance in Europe.

Achieving Ransomware Resilience with Immutable Backups

Ransomware attacks in Germany increased by over 30% in the last year. A modern defense requires more than just backups; it needs immutable storage. Our platform uses S3 Object Lock to make your backup data unchangeable for a set period. This technology creates a WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) state, making files immune to deletion or encryption by attackers. A sound backup and recovery plan is essential for resilience. Here is how Object Lock strengthens your defenses:

• It prevents accidental or malicious deletion of critical backup files.
• It helps meet regulatory compliance for data retention with audit-ready logs.
• It ensures a clean, reliable copy of data is always available for recovery after an attack.
• It integrates seamlessly with leading backup software that supports S3 Object Lock.

This feature is a cornerstone of a modern immutable backup strategy. By making your recovery point invulnerable, you create a reliable path to business operations.

Preparing for the EU Data Act and NIS-2 Directive

New EU regulations are reshaping the cloud landscape for 2025 and beyond. The EU Data Act, fully active from September 12, 2025, mandates easy data portability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our open standards and full S3-API compatibility ensure you can move data within a 30-day window as required. The NIS-2 Directive also requires robust supply-chain security, a principle built into our operations. Our platform is designed for compliance with these forward-looking EU regulations. We provide the tools to meet these new standards for data governance and security. This proactive stance on regulation gives your business a competitive advantage.

Unlocking Predictable Margins for MSPs and Channel Partners

For MSPs, unpredictable cloud costs directly erode profit margins by up to 25%. Our partner model is built on economic predictability. We offer a clear path to stable margins with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This transparent model makes our cloud storage pricing simple to manage. Our channel program is expanding, with new distribution agreements through api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK. Partners gain access to a multi-tenant console designed for efficiency and scale. Key benefits for our partners include:

1. Predictable margins for BaaS and archiving services.
2. A multi-tenant console with robust IAM, MFA, and RBAC controls.
3. Full automation capabilities via API, CLI, and SDKs.
4. Fast onboarding and dedicated partner support.

This structure empowers partners to build profitable, compliant services for their clients.

Adopting an 'Always-Hot' Architecture for Superior Performance

Complex storage tiering is a fragile and outdated practice. An 'Always-Hot' architecture ensures all data is immediately accessible, eliminating restore delays and API timeouts. This model simplifies operations and supports demanding workloads, from analytics to large-scale data archiving. It provides strong read/write consistency with predictable, low latencies. This approach reduces operational complexity by over 50% compared to tiered systems. By treating all objects as active, we ensure your tools and applications perform reliably. This shift in architecture is key to building a more resilient and efficient data infrastructure.

Executing a Seamless Migration with S3 Compatibility

Migrating to a new cloud provider should not require rewriting applications. Our full S3-API compatibility protects your existing investments in tools and scripts. The process is straightforward, minimizing risk and downtime. A successful migration follows a clear, three-step plan. First, you redirect your existing S3-compatible tools to our endpoint. Second, you transfer your data using our proven bulk data movement tools. Third, you validate the configuration with test restores, confirming your data protection strategy is intact. Over 95% of migrations are completed without any code modifications. Talk to an expert today to plan your transition to a sovereign, predictable, and high-performance cloud storage solution.
