Eliminate Hidden Fees to Lower Total Storage Costs

Predictable cloud budgeting is a significant challenge for 67% of IT decision-makers. The primary issue is a pricing model where egress fees and API call charges consume up to 47% of the total cloud bill. This structure makes finding the cheapest S3 storage in the UK a complex task beyond comparing baseline storage rates. Our model eliminates these variable costs entirely, offering zero egress fees and zero API call charges. This approach provides up to 80% cost savings on total cloud expenditure. A transparent pricing model ensures your bill reflects only the storage you use, making financial planning accurate. This shift toward economic clarity is a key driver for over 41% of businesses considering new providers. By removing hidden fees, you gain control over your cloud infrastructure budget.

Achieve UK Data Sovereignty with Geofenced EU Storage

Storing data within a specific jurisdiction is a critical compliance step for many UK businesses. Using a UK-based provider ensures data is governed exclusively by UK law, avoiding exposure to foreign statutes like the US CLOUD Act. This 2018 law permits U.S. authorities to demand data from American tech companies, regardless of where it is stored globally. Our infrastructure operates exclusively in certified European data centers with country-level geofencing. This guarantees your data remains under EU protection, a key requirement for GDPR. A European-owned provider offers a clear advantage for digital sovereignty. Here is how geofenced storage strengthens your compliance posture:

• It ensures all data, including metadata, is stored and processed under strict EU privacy laws.
• It provides a legal framework that protects against non-EU government data access requests, a risk with providers subject to the CLOUD Act.
• It simplifies GDPR compliance, as data transfers outside the EU/UK adequacy framework are not required.
• It builds trust with customers, as 71% are more confident when their data is stored locally.

This focus on UK data residency aligns with the growing demand for sovereign cloud solutions.

Maintain Full S3 Compatibility for Seamless Migration

Switching cloud providers should not require rewriting applications or retraining your team. Full S3 API compatibility ensures your existing tools, scripts, and backup software work without modification. This protects your past technology investments, which total millions for many enterprises. Our platform supports advanced S3 features like versioning and lifecycle management out of the box. This compatibility minimizes migration risk to less than 5%. An 'Always-Hot' architecture further simplifies operations by making all data immediately accessible. This model eliminates the complex and fragile tiering policies that cause restore delays and API timeouts. With 100% S3 compatibility, your transition to a sovereign cloud is seamless. This approach ensures your S3-compatible storage is both powerful and practical.

Protect Backups from Ransomware with Immutable Storage

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup files to prevent recovery, affecting over 2 million EU breach cases. Immutable storage, enabled by S3 Object Lock, provides a powerful defense. It uses a write-once-read-many (WORM) model, making data unchangeable for a set period. Once locked, not even an administrator can alter or delete the data. This creates a virtual air gap, securing your backups against malicious encryption or deletion. Leading backup tools like Veeam and NovaBackup integrate directly with S3 Object Lock for automated protection. Key benefits of this security feature include:

1. Ransomware Defense: Attackers cannot encrypt or delete immutable backup files, ensuring a clean recovery copy is always available.
2. Compliance Adherence: It helps meet strict data retention rules under regulations like GDPR and for financial audits.
3. Accident Prevention: It protects against accidental deletion or modification by internal users, a common source of data loss.
4. Audit Integrity: Immutable logs and records provide a tamper-proof trail for regulatory reviews and legal holds.

Implementing immutable backups is a foundational step in a modern data resilience strategy.

Prepare for 2025 UK Regulations with a Compliant-by-Design Architecture

The EU regulatory landscape is evolving with two key directives impacting cloud storage. The EU Data Act, fully applicable from September 2025, mandates data portability to prevent vendor lock-in. It requires providers to facilitate easy data migration, including metadata and configurations, with a 30-day maximum transition period. The UK NIS Regulations expands cybersecurity obligations for cloud providers, requiring continuous risk management and supply-chain security verification. Our platform is designed to meet these future requirements today. We provide open standards and transparent exit paths, aligning with the Data Act's goal of a competitive digital market. Our security posture, including multi-layer encryption and IAM with MFA, is built for UK NIS Regulations. Choosing a proactive, EU-compliant provider mitigates future regulatory risks.
