Eliminate Budget Overruns with a Predictable Cost Model

A staggering 90% of European IT leaders report that unexpected charges, such as API call or data retrieval fees, cause them to exceed their cloud budgets. A transparent economic model eliminates this uncertainty entirely. By choosing a solution with no egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration, you gain full control over your expenditures. This approach transforms cloud storage from a variable operational expense into a predictable, fixed cost. Our transparent pricing model ensures your bill reflects only the storage you use, allowing for accurate forecasting and resource allocation. This financial predictability empowers you to invest resources in innovation rather than managing volatile cloud bills.

Strengthen Digital Sovereignty and Ensure GDPR Compliance

While GDPR does not strictly mandate that EU resident data remains within the EU, it imposes significant restrictions on data transfers to outside countries. Storing data exclusively in certified European data centers provides the most direct path to compliance. This strategy avoids the legal complexities of implementing safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers. With country-level geofencing, you can guarantee data remains in a predefined region, satisfying even the strictest residency requirements for regulated industries. This EU-only approach provides legal certainty and insulates your organization from foreign laws like the CLOUD Act. Choosing a sovereign cloud solution is a strategic move to de-risk your data governance framework.

Build Resilient Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage

Ransomware attacks continue to grow in sophistication, making immutable backups a critical defense layer for every enterprise. An effective ransomware protection strategy relies on making data unchangeable for a defined period. Here is how Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock provides this protection:

• It prevents accidental or malicious deletion of critical backup data.
• It creates a verifiable, audit-ready retention policy for compliance.
• It ensures a clean, uninfected copy of your data is available for recovery after an attack.
• It integrates seamlessly with leading backup software like Veeam and NovaBackup.
• It blocks any user, even with root credentials, from altering or deleting protected objects before the retention period expires.

This feature is your last line of defense, guaranteeing recoverability with 100% certainty. Adopting secure enterprise object storage with these capabilities strengthens your overall security posture. This proactive security prepares you for the next generation of cyber threats.

Maintain Operational Continuity with Full S3 Compatibility

Migrating to a new cloud provider should not require a complete overhaul of your existing tools and workflows. A fully S3-compatible API ensures your applications, scripts, and backup tools continue to work without modification. This protects your past technology investments and minimizes migration risk down to nearly zero. Look for compatibility that extends beyond basic operations to include advanced features:

1. Versioning: Protect against accidental overwrites by keeping multiple versions of an object.
2. Lifecycle Management: Automate object transitions or deletions based on predefined policies.
3. Event Notifications: Trigger automated workflows in response to changes in your storage buckets.
4. Object Tagging: Apply granular metadata for cost allocation, access control, and data classification.

This deep compatibility ensures your DevOps pipelines and data management scripts run without any code rewrites. A cost-effective S3-compatible solution allows you to switch providers in under an hour, not months.

Simplify Architecture and Reduce Latency with an 'Always-Hot' Model

Complex storage tiering models that shuffle data between hot, cool, and archive layers often introduce unexpected costs and operational friction. A 45% increase in restore times can occur when retrieving data from deep archive tiers. An 'Always-Hot' object storage model eliminates this complexity entirely, ensuring all data is immediately accessible without tier-restore delays or fees. This simplifies your architecture and guarantees predictable, low-latency performance for all workloads. Whether you are running analytics, restoring a critical backup, or accessing archived files, every object is available within milliseconds. This approach makes your third-party tools more stable and your recovery time objectives (RTOs) more reliable. Learn more about our enterprise object storage architecture.

Prepare for New EU Regulations Like the Data Act and NIS-2

The European regulatory landscape is evolving, with two key pieces of legislation impacting cloud services. The EU Data Act, applying from September 2025, mandates data portability and will completely ban switching fees by January 2027 to prevent vendor lock-in. The NIS-2 Directive, set for implementation in Germany by early 2026, imposes stricter cybersecurity duties on cloud providers, including supply-chain assurance and incident reporting. A provider that is 'sovereign by design' aligns with these regulations from day one. By offering transparent cloud pricing with no egress fees, we already comply with the core principle of the Data Act. Our security posture, including multi-layer encryption and IAM, is built to meet the continuous security process required by NIS-2.

Empower Channel Partners with a Predictable and Profitable Platform

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and resellers, profitability hinges on predictable margins. A cloud solution with zero egress or API fees provides a stable foundation for building services like Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving. This 'predictable by design' model allows partners to protect their margins with 100% confidence. The platform is partner-ready, featuring a multi-tenant console with robust role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA). With automation via API/CLI and new distribution channels through partners like Northamber plc in the UK, onboarding and management are streamlined. This focus on the channel ecosystem ensures MSPs can deliver transparent solutions to their clients without financial surprises.
