Hamburg, Germany – Impossible Cloud, one of Europe's leading cloud solution providers, is entering into a strategic partnership with NAKIVO, a leading provider of backup and recovery solutions. Together, the two companies deliver a powerful solution for backup, replication, and disaster recovery – built for European enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) with maximum data control and full regulatory assurance.

European Data Sovereignty at the Core

At the heart of the partnership is the need to offer a technological solution that meets the growing demands for data protection and data availability. All data is stored exclusively in certified data centers within Europe. Features such as geofencing, end-to-end encryption, and object lock provide additional protection against tampering and ransomware.

The decisive point: the new solution is not subject to the US CLOUD Act or other US regulations, as Impossible Cloud is built on a purely European infrastructure. This independence from non-European access rights was a key criterion in selecting the partner.

"We see every day how important it is for businesses in Europe to retain sovereignty over their data – both technologically and from a regulatory perspective," explains Christian Kaul, Co-Founder and COO of Impossible Cloud. "With NAKIVO, we have found an experienced partner who not only delivers powerful software but is also ready to operate it on a sovereign infrastructure – completely outside the reach of US jurisdiction."

NAKIVO's multi-award-winning solution provides comprehensive protection for physical, virtual, cloud, and SaaS-based environments. The software enables fast recoveries, protects against ransomware through immutable storage, and thanks to native S3 API support, can be connected to Impossible Cloud instantly – without additional tools or complex configurations.

"Our partnership with Impossible Cloud underscores our commitment to providing enterprises across Europe with a leading backup and recovery solution that meets the highest standards of data protection, sovereignty, and compliance," says Sergei Serdyuk, Vice President of Product Management.

Channel-First: New Opportunities for Managed Service Providers

For MSPs, the partnership creates a particularly attractive foundation to deliver scalable backup services in a cost-efficient and compliant way. NAKIVO fully supports multi-tenant architectures and centralized management interfaces that are ideal for service providers with many customers. Using Impossible Cloud as the storage backbone brings additional advantages: no egress fees, no opaque pricing models, and no contractual lock-in. Instead, MSPs gain a predictable, margin-strong infrastructure that can be tailored to the individual needs of their customers.

Particularly with regard to European regulations such as GDPR, DORA, and NIS-2, the solution significantly simplifies day-to-day operations in the channel. MSPs can offer their customers a demonstrably secure, sovereign, and cost-efficient backup platform – without compromise.

The official launch of the solution will take place on 10 September 2025 at 11 AM in an open webinar titled "How NAKIVO and Impossible Cloud empower EU organizations to stay secure, compliant and in control of their data." Register here to join.
