Secure Digital Sovereignty Beyond Basic Data Residency

Data sovereignty ensures your data is subject to the laws of the nation where it is stored, a critical distinction from simple data residency. For European companies, this is essential for GDPR compliance and avoiding exposure to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act. Storing data in certified European data centers provides the legal certainty that 84% of European organizations now seek from sovereign cloud solutions. This approach guarantees that all data, including metadata and encryption keys, remains under EU governance. True sovereignty is the foundation for building digital trust with customers and partners.

Eliminate Budget Surprises with a Predictable Cost Model

Unexpected cloud expenses disrupt budgets for 95% of IT leaders, with egress fees being a primary cause. A transparent pricing model with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration offers a stable financial alternative. This predictability empowers Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to secure dependable margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. Gartner has observed that egress charges can consume up to 15% of a total cloud bill. By choosing a cost-effective cloud storage, you can reinvest savings into innovation instead of data transit. This transparent economic model is designed for long-term financial planning.

Achieve Performance Parity with an Enterprise-Ready Architecture

A modern cloud storage solution must offer more than just savings; it requires robust, enterprise-grade performance. Full S3-API compatibility ensures your existing applications and scripts continue to work without modification, protecting technology investments. An "Always-Hot" object storage model makes all data immediately accessible, eliminating the restore delays and API timeouts common with complex tiering architectures. This design provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies, crucial for backup, disaster recovery, and analytics workloads. This architecture is built for consistency and scale from day one.

Strengthen Ransomware Defenses with Immutable Storage

Ransomware remains a top threat, with Gartner estimating that 75% of IT organizations will face an attack by 2025. Immutable storage with Object Lock is a powerful defense, making your backup data unchangeable and undeletable for a set period. This ensures a clean, reliable recovery point is always available, rendering ransomware attacks ineffective. Here is how it enhances your security posture:

• Guaranteed Recovery: Immutable backups provide a pristine copy of your data, safe from encryption or deletion by attackers.
• Regulatory Compliance: It helps meet strict data retention rules for regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
• Reduced Downtime: With a guaranteed clean backup, you can restore systems in minutes, not days.
• Financial Protection: It eliminates the need to pay a ransom, saving potentially millions in recovery costs.

This proactive security measure is a core component of a modern resilience strategy.

Ensure Future-Proof Compliance with EU Regulations

Upcoming EU regulations demand a proactive approach to data governance and security. A sovereign cloud architecture helps you comply by design. Key regulations to consider include:

1. EU Data Act (from September 2025): This act mandates data portability and interoperability, making it easier to switch cloud providers without lock-in. A provider committed to open standards ensures you can move your data and metadata freely.
2. NIS-2 Directive: This directive requires continuous security processes, including supply-chain assurance and vulnerability management. Choosing a cloud partner with baked-in security simplifies your compliance burden.

Storing data within a strictly EU-centric framework is a competitive advantage, demonstrating a commitment to the highest standards of data protection and regulatory readiness.

Empower Channel Partners and MSPs with a Predictable Model

For MSPs and resellers, predictable margins are essential for building profitable services. A cloud storage model with zero egress or API fees provides the financial stability needed to offer competitive BaaS and archiving solutions. A partner-ready platform includes a multi-tenant console with robust Identity and Access Management (IAM), MFA, and RBAC. Automation via a full S3-compatible API and CLI allows for seamless integration into existing workflows. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expand local access for partners across Europe. This channel-first approach simplifies onboarding and accelerates growth.

Implement a Practical and Resilient Cloud Strategy

Transitioning to a sovereign cloud provider is a practical step toward greater control and efficiency. Full S3 compatibility makes migration straightforward, as existing tools and scripts for a S3 storage solution work out-of-the-box. Start by identifying data subject to sovereignty requirements and map out a migration plan. Test backup and restore procedures to validate performance and ensure your disaster recovery plan is robust. An EU-based expert team can support your transition, ensuring a smooth and secure move. This strategic shift not only provides a cost-effective Azure alternative but also strengthens your long-term data strategy.
