Escape the CLOUD Act with True Data Sovereignty

The physical location of a server in Germany does not guarantee data protection. The US CLOUD Act allows US authorities to access data controlled by US companies, regardless of where it is stored. This creates a direct conflict with the GDPR for any business in Cologne using US-based cloud services. Choosing a 100% European provider is the only way to ensure your data remains exclusively under EU law. Our German cloud alternative operates solely in certified European data centers. This design provides the legal certainty that over 80% of EU businesses demand. This fundamental architectural choice is the first step toward genuine digital sovereignty.

Achieve Predictable Costs and Eliminate Vendor Lock-In

Unexpected egress fees for data retrieval can inflate cloud budgets by up to 200%. We eliminate these variable costs entirely with a transparent model: no egress fees, no API call charges, and no minimum storage durations. This approach provides the financial predictability needed for long-term planning. The upcoming EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates easier switching between cloud providers to prevent vendor lock-in. Our strategy aligns perfectly with this, ensuring data portability by design. You can find more details in our cloud storage price comparison. This focus on transparent economics gives you back control over your IT spending.

Leverage Enterprise-Grade S3 Compatibility and Performance

Full S3-API compatibility is essential for a seamless transition, protecting your investment in existing tools and scripts. Our platform ensures that over 99% of your S3-based applications work without modification. We offer an "Always-Hot" storage model, meaning all data is immediately accessible without the delays or restore fees common with tiered systems. This eliminates operational complexity and ensures consistent performance for your cloud storage needs. Here are some of the advanced S3 capabilities we support:

• Object Versioning to protect against accidental deletions.
• Lifecycle Management policies for automated data handling.
• Bucket Policies and IAM for granular access control.
• Multipart Upload for files up to 5TB.
• Presigned URLs for secure, temporary access.
• Object Lock for immutable, WORM-compliant storage.

This robust feature set ensures your workflows continue uninterrupted while gaining sovereignty.

Implement Proactive Ransomware Defense with Immutable Backups

Ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting backup files to prevent recovery. Immutable storage with Object Lock creates a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state, making your backups unchangeable for a defined period. This technology is the last line of defense, ensuring a clean recovery copy is always available. A successful recovery is possible in over 95% of cases when immutable backups are in place. Our solution for secure object storage in Germany is a core component of a modern data protection strategy. Follow these steps for a resilient backup plan:

1. Maintain at least 3 copies of your data.
2. Store the copies on 2 different media types.
3. Keep 1 copy off-site.
4. Ensure 1 copy is offline or immutable.
5. Test your recovery process with 0 errors.

This structured approach transforms your backup system from a target into a fortress.

Empower Cologne's MSPs with a Partner-Ready Platform

For Managed Service Providers in the Cologne area, predictable margins are key to profitability. Our partner program is built on a zero-egress-fee model, enabling MSPs to offer competitive Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions with stable costs. The platform is partner-ready, featuring a multi-tenant console with robust IAM and RBAC capabilities for managing hundreds of clients efficiently. With German distribution through partners like `api`, onboarding takes less than 24 hours. This allows MSPs to quickly address the growing demand for sovereign cloud storage solutions across the region.

Meet NIS-2 and EU Data Act Requirements by Design

The NIS-2 Directive, which must be implemented by October 2024, imposes strict cybersecurity risk management and reporting obligations on thousands of German companies. Key requirements include supply chain security and robust incident handling, making your choice of cloud provider a compliance issue. Our platform's security-first architecture helps you meet these standards. Furthermore, the EU Data Act's focus on data portability from September 2025 is built into our core, ensuring you can always move your data without penalty. Choosing a compliant-by-design cloud storage solution is a strategic move to stay ahead of evolving regulations.
