Eliminate 80% of Cloud Costs with a Predictable Pricing Model

Most enterprises find that unpredictable egress fees and API charges create costs that exceed storage by 3-5x. A transparent economic model eliminates these variables entirely. Impossible Cloud offers zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration, delivering up to 80% in savings. This predictable pricing makes budget planning and ROI calculations finally possible. Our cost-efficient-by-design approach gives you full control over your expenditures. This financial predictability is the first step toward strategic independence.

Achieve Seamless Integration with 100% S3 Compatibility

Vendor lock-in is a top concern for IT leaders, with proprietary APIs making any switch prohibitively expensive. A true drop-in S3 replacement protects your past investments and minimizes migration risk. Our platform offers full S3-API compatibility, ensuring your existing apps, scripts, and backup tools keep working without code rewrites. You can simply change the endpoint and maintain your workflows, a process that accelerates time-to-value by over 50%. This focus on open standards provides a built-in exit strategy from day one. With full compatibility, you can focus on performance, not rework.

Strengthen Ransomware Defense with Immutable, Always-Hot Storage

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup infrastructure, making immutability a core compliance requirement. Our architecture features Immutable Storage and Object Lock to create tamper-proof data copies for audit-ready retention. Unlike complex tiering models that cause restore delays, our "Always-Hot" object storage keeps 100% of your data immediately accessible. This approach simplifies operations and delivers up to 20% faster backup performance. A robust defense requires more than just backups; it demands instantly available, incorruptible data.

Key security layers for modern data protection include:

• Immutable Storage / Object Lock: Protects data from deletion or modification for a set period, creating a reliable recovery point.
• Multi-Layer Encryption: Secures data both in transit and at rest, with customer-controlled key management for full authority.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Provides granular, role-driven policies with MFA and RBAC to prevent unauthorized access.
• Certified Compliance: Adherence to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards ensures your data handling meets enterprise-grade regulatory requirements.

This multi-pronged security posture ensures your backup repository is a fortress, not a target.

Boost Performance and Reliability with a Consistent Architecture

Fragile tiering policies often lead to lifecycle policy drift, API timeouts, and hidden operational costs. An architecture built for consistency eliminates these issues entirely. Our platform provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for all workloads. This model supports everything from millions of small files to large-scale archives with equal efficiency. All data is immediately accessible, avoiding the restore surprises and fees common with tiered systems. This consistent performance is critical for meeting modern RTO/RPO objectives in disaster recovery scenarios.

Empower MSPs with Predictable Margins and Simplified Management

For MSPs, unpredictable costs directly translate to margin erosion and client dissatisfaction. Our partner-centric model was designed to reverse this trend. The absence of egress and API fees means you can quote BaaS and DRaaS services with complete confidence in your margins. The multi-tenant partner console simplifies management with RBAC, MFA, and robust reporting. Fast onboarding and API-driven automation allow you to scale service delivery efficiently. This cost efficiency becomes a powerful competitive advantage, enabling you to pass savings to clients or increase profitability by up to 25% on existing contracts. With a predictable foundation, you can build more resilient client relationships.

Implement a Practical Migration and Data Control Strategy

A successful transition to a new storage platform requires a clear, low-risk process. Migrating to an S3-compatible alternative is straightforward and protects your operational stability. Data portability is a core principle, ensuring you never face vendor lock-in again. Our US presence and country-level geofencing keep your data in predefined regions under your control. This commitment to data control and independence is verified by enterprise-grade certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. A sound data protection strategy starts with choosing the right foundation.

Follow these steps for a seamless transition:

1. Assess Existing Workflows: Identify all applications and scripts currently using an S3-compatible endpoint for backup or archiving.
2. Configure New Endpoints: Update your backup tools and scripts to point to the new S3-compatible storage endpoint.
3. Migrate Policies: Replicate your existing lifecycle and retention policies in the new environment to ensure data governance continuity.
4. Run Test Restores: Conduct several test restores of critical data to validate the integrity and performance of the new immutable backup solution.
5. Monitor Performance: Track backup and restore speeds over the first 30 days to confirm performance gains and cost reductions.

This structured approach ensures a smooth cutover with zero operational disruption.

Build Your Exit Strategy from Day One

True data independence means having a viable exit strategy before you even need one. Vendor lock-in is often an afterthought until punitive egress fees make switching prohibitively expensive. Our model is built on open standards and S3 compatibility to guarantee interoperability and preserve your negotiation power. With zero egress fees, you can retrieve 100% of your data at any time without financial penalty. This freedom of action is the ultimate form of enterprise-grade data control.
