Eliminate the #1 Cloud Pain Point: Unpredictable Costs

Most enterprises struggle with surprise egress fees that erode budgets by over 50%. These hidden costs, combined with API charges, can exceed the base storage price by 3-5x in data-heavy DR workloads. This model makes financial planning for recovery scenarios nearly impossible. Vendor lock-in is a top concern for 75% of IT leaders, who find switching prohibitively expensive. An exit strategy is often an afterthought, leaving businesses with zero negotiating power. By choosing a platform with a transparent economic model, you can find more ways to reduce storage costs. This financial unpredictability creates significant strategic risk for any organization.

Achieve 60-80% Cost Reduction with a Predictable Pricing Model

A predictable cost model is the foundation of an affordable disaster recovery storage target. Impossible Cloud eliminates 100% of egress fees and API call costs. This transparent approach provides a predictable monthly bill, allowing for accurate budget forecasting. Organizations report immediate cost savings of 60-80% on their cloud storage expenses. This is achieved without minimum storage duration contracts, giving you full financial control. The following principles are key to this model:

• Zero egress fees for data retrieval.
• Zero charges for API calls (reads/writes).
• No minimum storage duration requirements.
• Transparent, per-gigabyte pricing.
• Predictable billing that simplifies TCO calculations.

This direct economic benefit allows you to reallocate resources from operational overhead to innovation, a key goal for 9 out of 10 IT departments.

Ensure Seamless Integration with 100% S3 Compatibility

True S3 compatibility is a non-negotiable requirement for modern DR. It ensures your existing backup tools, applications, and scripts work without any code rewrites. This drop-in replacement capability minimizes migration risk and protects your past IT investments. Simply change the endpoint, and your entire toolchain keeps working. This compatibility extends beyond basic operations to include versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications. For MSPs, this simplifies building profitable offsite backup services. A truly compatible platform accelerates your time-to-value from months to just a few days.

Activate Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup infrastructure as the primary objective. Immutable storage with Object Lock is your most effective defense, making data unchangeable for a defined period. This capability is now a standard requirement for many cyber insurance policies. Impossible Cloud's architecture includes multi-layer encryption and Object Lock for audit-ready retention. This feature helps meet compliance mandates from regulators like BaFin for financial services. By making your backup data immutable, you create a reliable recovery point that neutralizes the threat of data encryption by attackers. This is a critical layer in any modern immutable backup storage strategy.

Accelerate Recovery Times with an 'Always-Hot' Architecture

Complex storage tiering creates operational risk and recovery delays. An 'Always-Hot' object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible without any tier-restore delays or fees. This approach reduces operational complexity and keeps third-party backup tools stable. Customers see up to 20% faster backup and restore performance compared to traditional tiered cloud storage. This consistent low latency is guaranteed by a strong Service Level Agreement (SLA). An always-hot model simplifies operations and strengthens your ability to meet aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).

Meet Enterprise Compliance Needs Without Vendor Lock-In

Regulated workloads demand verified security and compliance. Impossible Cloud provides enterprise-grade certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001, ensuring your data handling meets strict industry standards. Identity and access management is controlled through granular, role-driven policies and supports external IdPs via SAML/OIDC. You retain full control over your encryption keys, including revocation procedures. This focus on data control and portability is central to our design, providing a real exit path and preventing vendor lock-in. This is especially important when considering a Rubrik Cloud Vault alternative. This commitment to open standards preserves your long-term freedom of action.

Enable MSPs to Build High-Margin Backup-as-a-Service Offerings

For Managed Service Providers, predictable margins are essential for profitability. The elimination of egress and API fees allows MSPs to quote BaaS and DRaaS solutions with confidence. Our whitelabel solution lets you launch your own branded cloud service, shifting the narrative from reselling to owning. The partner console provides the tools needed for success:

1. Multi-tenant management with RBAC and MFA.
2. Full automation capabilities via API and CLI.
3. Detailed reporting for client billing and monitoring.
4. A custom domain and UI for brand ownership.
5. Fast onboarding and dedicated channel support.

This model empowers MSPs to build a high-margin, competitive service on a foundation of low-TCO S3 compatible storage.

Design Your Exit Strategy from Day One

A true partnership includes the freedom to leave. Vendor lock-in is a strategic risk that should be addressed before migration, not after. Our platform is built with an exit strategy by design, centered on 100% S3 API compatibility and zero egress fees. This ensures you can move your data at any time without financial penalty, preserving your negotiating power. Data portability is guaranteed through open standards and proven bulk data movement tools. This provides the ultimate data control and independence, ensuring your storage strategy serves your business needs for the long term. Choosing an archive without retrieval fees is the first step.
