Establish Digital Sovereignty for Big Data

A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical infrastructure, making EU data residency a primary selection criterion. Storing data with non-EU providers creates direct exposure to foreign laws, a risk many organizations can no longer tolerate. (5) Our platform operates exclusively in certified European data centers, offering country-level geofencing to guarantee data remains within a predefined region. This sovereign-by-design approach ensures 100% GDPR compliance. This foundation of EU legal certainty is the first step toward a modern data strategy.

Ensure Seamless Integration with Full S3 API Compatibility

True S3 compatibility goes far beyond basic operations, protecting thousands of development hours invested in existing tools. Our platform supports advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications across any API, CLI, or SDK. This ensures your data pipelines and applications continue running without a single code rewrite. Full compatibility minimizes migration risk to nearly zero. We offer out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools, including a deep collaboration with NovaBackup for MSPs. The following capabilities are supported from day one:

• Standard object operations (GET, PUT, DELETE)
• Multi-part uploads for large objects
• Object versioning and lifecycle policies
• Fine-grained access control with IAM and RBAC
• Bucket and object tagging for cost allocation
• Event notifications for automated workflows

This comprehensive support protects past investments while enabling future innovation.

Build for Performance with an Always-Hot Architecture

Complex storage tiering creates operational fragility, leading to restore delays and hidden fees that impact your bottom line by up to 15% (7). We eliminate this with an “Always-Hot” object storage model where all data is immediately accessible in milliseconds. This architecture delivers strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for mixed workloads, from millions of small files to petabyte-scale archives. Our multi-AZ replication design eliminates single points of failure. This model simplifies operations and ensures third-party tools like S3-native backup solutions remain stable and performant. An always-hot model provides the resilience modern workloads demand.

Defend Against Ransomware with Immutable Storage

Ransomware remains a top threat, making immutable backups a critical defense layer for every organization. Our platform includes Immutable Storage via Object Lock, which prevents data from being altered or deleted for a user-defined period (6). This feature makes your backup data completely immune to malicious encryption attempts. Object Lock provides audit-ready retention for 100% of your critical data. You can implement a robust defense strategy with these four steps:

1. Define retention periods based on compliance needs.
2. Enable Object Lock on your primary backup buckets.
3. Configure IAM policies to restrict permissions.
4. Regularly test your restore procedures from immutable copies.

This proactive security posture is essential for maintaining business continuity.

Achieve Compliance with EU Regulations by Design

Upcoming EU regulations require a new level of operational readiness that must be built into your storage platform. The EU Data Act, taking effect from September 2025, mandates data portability to prevent vendor lock-in (2). Our use of open standards and exportable formats provides a proven exit path. The NIS-2 Directive demands continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance, which are integral to our operations (3). We turn regulatory readiness into a competitive advantage of 100%. This focus on compliance allows you to confidently handle even the most sensitive workloads, as detailed in our guide to cost-efficient backup solutions.

Drive Partner Success with a Predictable Margin Model

For MSPs and resellers, unpredictable costs directly erode margins and complicate client billing. Our partner model is predictable by design, with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This allows partners to build stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service and archiving solutions. The partner console offers multi-tenant management with RBAC and MFA, API/CLI automation, and clear reporting. Our partners see up to 30% faster onboarding times. We are expanding local access across Europe, with distribution momentum from partners like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK. This ecosystem empowers our partners to deliver sovereign solutions effectively.

Realize True Cloud Freedom and Cost Control

The greatest challenge of hyperscale cloud storage is economic lock-in driven by punitive egress fees and complex pricing. Our transparent model eliminates these barriers entirely, giving you the freedom to move your data when and where you need it without financial penalty. This preserves your long-term negotiation power and can reduce total cost of ownership by over 60% compared to traditional providers (7). Our guaranteed SLAs provide the economic certainty needed for business planning. By choosing a platform built on open standards, you are selecting a true S3-compatible alternative that prioritizes your freedom of action. This transparent approach is the foundation of a healthy, long-term data strategy.
