Define S3 Compatibility Beyond Basic Operations

Full S3 compatibility in 2025 protects your entire toolchain investment. It ensures that not only basic commands but over 95% of advanced features work seamlessly. This includes versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications across any API, CLI, or SDK. True compatibility eliminates the need for costly code rewrites during migration. An enterprise-grade service guarantees your existing applications and backup tools continue to function without disruption. This focus on comprehensive support is a core tenet of S3-compatible storage that prevents vendor lock-in. It allows your teams to maintain operational continuity with zero friction. This architectural integrity is the first step toward a more resilient data strategy.

Build Resilience with an Always-Hot Architecture

An "Always-Hot" object storage model ensures 100% of data is immediately accessible. This design eliminates the delays and hidden fees associated with restoring data from archived tiers. Complex tiering policies often fail during urgent restore scenarios, causing API timeouts and operational failures. Our architecture provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for millions of files. This approach reduces operational complexity by at least 40% for backup and recovery tasks. For businesses needing reliable access for analytics or compliance, an always-hot model is the only way to guarantee performance. This foundation of constant availability prepares your data for any challenge, including regulatory audits.

Achieve Digital Sovereignty Under EU Law

Storing data exclusively in certified European data centers is the only way to ensure 100% GDPR compliance. This strategy provides country-level geofencing to keep data within predefined regions, fully avoiding CLOUD Act exposure. A strong majority of EU decision-makers now list EU data residency as a top-three selection criterion for cloud services. Our sovereign-by-design approach offers complete EU legal certainty for all your workloads. This commitment to European data sovereignty is critical for regulated industries. It also builds a foundation of trust with your customers, which is essential as new regulations emerge.

Prepare for the EU Data Act and NIS-2 Directive

The EU Data Act, applicable from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability by design. Our platform was built to exceed these requirements, ensuring you have a proven exit path with zero lock-in. Additionally, the NIS-2 directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance for critical infrastructure. Our operations incorporate these principles, including immutable storage with Object Lock for ransomware defense. We provide a clear framework for your storage vendor evaluation. Here is how our platform aligns with these upcoming regulations:

• EU Data Act Readiness: We guarantee the portability of all data, including metadata and versions, ensuring you can switch providers within 30 days as required.
• NIS-2 Compliance: Our continuous security processes, including vulnerability management and incident reporting, are baked into our service, not added on.
• Immutable Backups: S3 Object Lock makes your backup data impervious to deletion or modification, a key defense against ransomware.
• EU-Controlled Security: All encryption and key management processes are governed under strict EU control, ensuring no foreign authority can access your data.

This proactive compliance posture turns regulatory burdens into a competitive advantage for your business.

Deliver Predictable Margins for MSPs and Channel Partners

Our commercial model is predictable by design, offering stable margins for our partners. We provide zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This transparency allows MSPs to build profitable Backup-as-a-Service and archiving solutions with at least 25% more margin predictability. The partner console features multi-tenant management, RBAC, and MFA for secure, automated operations. With new distribution partners like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, local access for resellers has expanded by 100% in the last year. This partner-ready approach simplifies both compliance and profitability, setting the stage for practical implementation.

Execute a Seamless Migration with a Proven Checklist

A successful migration to a new object storage platform requires just three core steps. Following a clear plan minimizes risk and ensures a smooth transition with zero downtime. Adopting a cloud-agnostic strategy protects your investments for the long term. Here is a practical checklist to guide your team:

1. Endpoint and Credential Configuration: Update your applications, scripts, and backup tools with the new S3-compatible endpoint and access keys. This step typically takes less than one hour per application.
2. Policy and Bucket Replication: Recreate your existing bucket structure, IAM policies, and lifecycle rules in the new environment. Automation via CLI or SDK can accelerate this process by over 90%.
3. Data Transfer and Validation: Use a proven data movement tool to transfer your objects. Always perform a test restore of at least three critical datasets to validate data integrity and accessibility.
4. Final Cutover: Once validation is complete with a 100% success rate, switch your production workloads to the new platform and decommission the old storage.

With these steps, your organization can confidently transition to a more sovereign and predictable storage solution.

Unlock True Storage Freedom and Control

Choosing the right S3-compatible object storage is a strategic decision that impacts cost, compliance, and control for years to come. A platform built on European sovereignty provides a clear advantage over hyperscaler offerings that are subject to foreign laws. By prioritizing full API compatibility and a predictable cost model with zero hidden fees, you can avoid vendor lock-in permanently.
