Establish True Sovereignty by Eliminating Non-EU Data Exposure

True data sovereignty is achieved when your data is governed exclusively by the laws of its storage location. Storing data with non-EU providers, even in European data centers, creates exposure to foreign laws like the US CLOUD Act. Impossible Cloud provides the most sovereign object storage by operating exclusively in certified European data centers with country-level geofencing. This design guarantees your data remains within predefined EU regions, fully compliant with GDPR requirements. This architecture provides 100% legal certainty under EU law.

This approach directly addresses the primary concern for a strong majority of EU decision-makers: maintaining control over critical infrastructure. By ensuring data residency and governance are strictly EU-centric, you eliminate the risk of extraterritorial data access requests. This foundation of control is the first step toward building a resilient and compliant data strategy for 2025 and beyond, preparing you for stricter regulatory frameworks.

Drive Economic Efficiency with a Predictable, All-Inclusive Cost Model

Cost complexity and vendor lock-in are significant pain points for over 70% of cloud customers. Impossible Cloud's pricing model is predictable by design, directly addressing these challenges. We have eliminated the three most unpredictable cost factors: there are zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and no minimum storage duration. This transparent approach allows for precise budget forecasting, a critical advantage for both enterprise IT and MSPs seeking stable margins.

This economic clarity is a key driver for switching providers, especially when combined with performance parity. Our model simplifies financial planning for a number of key use cases:

• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Restore data as needed without incurring punitive egress fees, which can run into thousands of euros during a single recovery event.
• Archiving: Access archived data instantly without facing unexpected retrieval charges or delays common with tiered storage.
• Tape-to-Cloud: Migrate legacy data with a clear, one-time cost structure, making modernization economically viable.
• Data Analytics: Run large-scale queries and data-intensive workloads without worrying about API call charges inflating your monthly bill by 25% or more.

By offering a straightforward economic model, we provide a practical alternative to hyperscalers and reduce the risk of financial lock-in, giving you freedom and control.

Fortify Data Resilience Against Ransomware and Single Points of Failure

In 2025, ransomware protection is a non-negotiable component of any storage strategy. Our architecture is built for resilience, incorporating multi-layer security to safeguard data integrity. A core feature is Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock, which prevents data from being altered or deleted for a specified period. This creates an unchangeable copy of your data, rendering ransomware attacks ineffective and ensuring you have a clean recovery point. This feature alone can reduce recovery time by over 90%.

Our security posture extends across the entire platform. All data is protected with multi-layer encryption, both in transit and at rest. Identity and Access Management (IAM) with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC) ensures only authorized users can access specific data sets. Furthermore, our architecture eliminates single points of failure through multi-AZ replication, guaranteeing high availability and data integrity for all your backup and data protection needs. This robust framework prepares your organization to meet the continuous security process demands of NIS-2.

Achieve Full Interoperability with Enterprise-Grade S3 Compatibility

Migrating to a new storage platform should not require rewriting applications or abandoning existing tools. Impossible Cloud ensures a seamless transition with 100% S3 API compatibility that goes beyond basic operations. This protects your past investments in scripts, backup software, and data management pipelines, minimizing migration risk to near zero. Our platform supports advanced S3 capabilities, ensuring your workflows continue uninterrupted.

We deliver this consistency through an "Always-Hot" object storage model, where all data is immediately accessible without tier-restore delays. This architecture provides significant operational advantages over complex, tiered systems:

1. Predictable Performance: Strong read/write consistency and low latencies are guaranteed, whether you are storing millions of small files or large archives.
2. No Restore Surprises: Avoid the delays, API timeouts, and hidden fees that occur when retrieving data from cold storage tiers, a process that can take up to 12 hours with other providers.
3. Simplified Operations: Eliminate brittle lifecycle policies that can fail or cause unexpected costs as data access patterns change over time.
4. Tool Stability: Third-party tools, especially leading backup solutions like NovaBackup, operate reliably without errors caused by slow data retrieval from archived tiers.

This enterprise-ready approach makes our object storage solution a practical and powerful choice for modern IT environments.

Gain a Competitive Advantage with Proactive Regulatory Readiness

Beginning in September 2025, new EU regulations will fundamentally reshape data governance. Impossible Cloud is designed to meet these future requirements today, turning compliance into a competitive advantage. The EU Data Act mandates data portability and interoperability, and our open-standards approach ensures you have a real exit path with no lock-in. You can easily move your data, including metadata and versions, preserving your long-term freedom of action.

Simultaneously, the NIS-2 Directive requires continuous security processes, including robust supply-chain assurance and vulnerability management. Our platform's security features, such as immutable storage and EU-controlled key management, are baked into our operations, not added as an afterthought. By aligning with these upcoming regulations, we provide a future-proof foundation for your most sensitive workloads, ensuring you remain fully compliant with EU law.

Accelerate Channel Growth with a Partner-Ready Platform

For MSPs, resellers, and system integrators, profitability depends on predictable margins and operational efficiency. Our partner program is built on these principles. The "predictable by design" cost model-with zero egress or API fees-allows partners to offer Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions with stable, defensible margins. This eliminates the risk of a single large data restore erasing months of profit, a common issue with other cloud providers.

Our platform is engineered to be partner-ready from day one. Key features for our partners include:

• Multi-Tenant Management: A centralized console with granular RBAC and MFA simplifies managing multiple clients securely and efficiently.
• Full Automation: The S3-compatible API and CLI enable deep integration for automated onboarding, provisioning, and reporting.
• Rapid Onboarding: Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools mean partners can get new clients up and running in hours, not days.

Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK further expand local access and support for our channel partners. This momentum makes it easier than ever to deliver sovereign storage solutions to your clients. Talk to an expert to learn more about our partner program.
