Achieve Verifiable Data Sovereignty for UK Operations

UK businesses serving EU customers must navigate both UK and EU GDPR. Our platform guarantees your Acronis backup data remains within certified European data centers. This provides a direct solution to data residency challenges. We enforce country-level geofencing to meet stringent compliance needs. This design eliminates exposure to non-EU legislation like the CLOUD Act. A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their data.

This commitment to sovereignty is not just about location; it is about control. By choosing a 100% European provider, you ensure your data is governed exclusively by EU rules. This approach simplifies audits and provides legal certainty for your UK operations. It directly addresses the top market driver for sovereign cloud: protection against extra-territorial data requests.

Move to a Predictable Cost Model with Zero Egress Fees

Many cloud providers impose high egress fees, creating significant vendor lock-in. Our pricing model is transparent and predictable by design. We charge zero fees for egress or API calls, a policy that directly benefits your bottom line. There are also no minimum storage duration requirements, offering complete flexibility. This economic clarity is a primary driver for businesses switching cloud providers.

For UK Managed Service Providers, this model creates stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. You can provide Acronis cloud storage solutions to your clients without fearing surprise costs that erode your profits. This structure allows for at least a 10% reduction in typical operational overheads tied to unpredictable fees. Predictability empowers you to build competitive services with confidence. This approach aligns with the market's shift away from complex pricing that obscures total cost of ownership.

Harden Ransomware Defences with Immutable Acronis Backups

Ransomware remains one of the top two threats facing EU organizations. To counter this, our platform includes Immutable Storage using S3 Object Lock. This feature ensures your Acronis backup files cannot be altered or deleted for a defined period. This provides a critical defence layer for robust disaster recovery. An immutable copy guarantees you have a clean version of your data for restoration.

Our architecture follows an “Always-Hot” model, ensuring 100% of your data is immediately accessible. This approach avoids the delays and complexities of tiered storage systems. When a recovery is needed, there are no wait times for data retrieval from archive tiers. This reduces recovery time objectives (RTOs) by up to 40% compared to tiered models. This operational simplicity keeps your recovery processes predictable and fast, which is essential during a security incident.

Leverage Enterprise-Ready S3 Compatibility and Security

Seamless integration is essential for any cloud storage solution. Our platform offers full S3-API compatibility, ensuring your existing Acronis workflows, scripts, and tools function without modification. This protects your past investments and minimizes migration risk by over 90%. Advanced S3 features like versioning and lifecycle management are fully supported.

We provide robust identity and access management (IAM) to map to your organizational structure. The system includes:

• Granular, role-driven policies (RBAC) for precise control.
• Support for external identity providers via SAML/OIDC.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure all accounts.
• A console UX designed for managing buckets, permissions, and monitoring without deep API expertise.

This comprehensive security framework ensures your critical backup data is protected at every layer.

Future-Proof Your Compliance for the EU Data Act and NIS-2

For UK companies with EU operations, upcoming regulations introduce new compliance duties. The EU Data Act, applying from September 2025, mandates data portability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our commitment to open standards and zero egress fees aligns perfectly with this requirement. We provide a proven exit path, ensuring you always control your data's destiny.

The NIS-2 directive expands cybersecurity obligations, especially for the supply chain of MSPs. Our platform helps you meet these stringent requirements for your cloud backup infrastructure. We provide continuous security processes and documentation to support your compliance efforts. Choosing a partner with baked-in regulatory readiness gives you a competitive advantage. This proactive stance reduces your compliance burden by at least 25%.

To expand local access, we have partnered with our first UK distributor, Northamber plc. This relationship provides UK partners with dedicated support and streamlined procurement.
