Align Enterprise Storage with EU Data Sovereignty

A staggering 92% of European data currently resides in U.S.-controlled clouds, creating significant jurisdictional risk. This dependency exposes businesses to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act, which permits access to data regardless of its physical location in one of 27 EU countries. For 84% of decision-makers, digital sovereignty is now a critical factor in vendor selection. Choosing a truly European cloud enterprise object storage provider with country-level geofencing ensures your data remains under EU legal control. This strategic shift is the first step toward mitigating regulatory and operational risks.

Eliminate Cost Uncertainty with a Predictable Storage Model

Unpredictable costs are a primary driver of cloud vendor lock-in for at least 60% of enterprises. An innovative cloud enterprise object storage model eliminates 100% of egress fees and API call charges. This transparency allows for precise budget forecasting with zero surprises. The architecture also features an “Always-Hot” model, ensuring 100% of data is immediately accessible without restore delays from complex tiers. This approach simplifies operations for thousands of users and is detailed in our guide to transparent pricing models.

Here are four key benefits of this predictable economic model:

• Guarantees stable, defensible margins for MSPs offering Backup-as-a-Service.
• Removes financial penalties for accessing or moving your own data.
• Simplifies budget planning for IT leaders by over 50%.
• Prevents API timeouts and hidden fees associated with complex data tiering.

This financial clarity, combined with high performance, provides a powerful incentive for migration.

Preserve IT Investments with 100% S3 API Compatibility

Achieving a seamless migration requires more than basic S3 support. True S3 compatibility ensures 100% of your existing applications, scripts, and backup tools continue to function without any code rewrites. This protects decades of investment in IT infrastructure. Advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications must work consistently across the API, CLI, and SDK. This level of integration minimizes migration risk by over 99% for complex workloads. Such compatibility is essential for modern backup and disaster recovery solutions. This focus on interoperability ensures your established workflows remain intact.

Achieve Resilient Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage

Ransomware remains a top-3 threat to enterprise data integrity. Implementing immutable storage with Object Lock provides a WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) model, making your backups 100% tamper-proof for a set retention period. This feature is a core component of a modern defense strategy, securing data for thousands of organizations. Multi-layer encryption protects 100% of data both in-transit and at-rest, controlled by EU-managed keys. This creates an audit-ready trail for compliance and is a key way to improve your data resiliency.

Follow these three steps for a robust backup strategy:

1. Maintain at least three copies of your data on two different media types.
2. Ensure one of these copies is off-site and immutable using Object Lock.
3. Regularly test your restore process, aiming for a 100% success rate.

This disciplined approach turns your cloud enterprise object storage into a powerful defense against data loss.

Ensure Future-Proof Compliance with EU Data Act and NIS-2

New EU regulations are reshaping the cloud landscape in 2025. The EU Data Act, effective from September 12, 2025, mandates data portability and aims to eliminate vendor lock-in by phasing out switching charges. This aligns perfectly with a provider model built on open standards and no exit fees. The NIS-2 Directive further requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance from October 18, 2024, for critical sectors. A provider with security baked into its operations, like offering fully encrypted object storage, helps you meet these new standards by design. This proactive compliance prepares your organization for the next decade of EU regulations.

Drive Partner Growth with Predictable Margins and Management

For MSPs and resellers, predictable margins are the foundation of a profitable service. A zero-egress-fee model increases margin stability by at least 25% on backup and archiving services. A partner-ready platform provides a multi-tenant console with robust IAM, MFA, and RBAC for managing hundreds of clients securely. Automation via a full-featured API and CLI allows for integration into existing workflows, increasing operational efficiency by over 30%. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expand local access for hundreds of resellers, demonstrating clear channel momentum. This makes it easier to find cost-efficient cloud solutions. This partner-centric approach fosters a healthy and growing ecosystem.

Take Control of Your Enterprise Data Strategy

Adopting a sovereign cloud enterprise object storage solution is a strategic move with benefits across your entire organization. It addresses the 3 biggest challenges for EU IT leaders: regulatory compliance, cost predictability, and operational resilience. With a platform that is sovereign by design, you gain EU legal certainty and avoid CLOUD Act exposure. The transparent pricing model with zero egress fees provides unparalleled financial control. Finally, with features like immutable storage and full S3 compatibility, you can build a resilient and efficient data architecture for the next 10 years.
