Secure UK Data with Sovereign-by-Design Architecture

True data sovereignty ensures data is subject to the laws of the country where it is stored, a guarantee many non-EU providers cannot make. For UK businesses, using strictly EU-centric data storage and governance is the only way to avoid CLOUD Act exposure. Our architecture provides country-level geofencing, keeping 100% of your data within certified European data centers under EU rules. This approach directly addresses the 46% of IT leaders who identify compliance as their top factor when choosing a cloud provider. This sovereign-by-design model is your first line of defense in a complex regulatory landscape. This foundation of control and compliance is essential before considering performance metrics.

Meet 2025's Regulatory Demands with Compliant Storage

The regulatory environment is tightening, with significant changes taking effect in 2025. The EU Data Act, applicable from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability by design, a core principle of our platform. , This eliminates vendor lock-in and ensures you can prove a real exit path for all data, including metadata and versions. Furthermore, the NIS-2 directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance, which are baked into our operations. Our platform helps you meet these evolving standards with features designed for regulatory readiness. Here is how we align with key regulations:

• GDPR Compliance: We operate exclusively in EU data centers, aligning with UK GDPR requirements for data residency and processing.
• EU Data Act Readiness: Our architecture ensures data and metadata are portable, meeting the Act's 'access by design' goal well before the September 2025 deadline.
• NIS-2 Alignment: Continuous vulnerability management and documented security processes are integral to our service, not an add-on.
• Immutable Storage: Object Lock provides audit-ready retention policies for compliance and robust ransomware defense.

Over 87% of decision-makers now rate security and compliance as extremely important infrastructure concerns. With these features, your distributed cloud storage architecture becomes a competitive advantage. This built-in compliance provides the security needed to handle your most critical data workloads.

Deploy Ransomware Protection with Immutable Backups

Ransomware attacks continue to grow in sophistication, making immutable backups a non-negotiable component of any disaster recovery plan. Our platform provides Immutable Storage through S3 Object Lock, making your backup data unchangeable for a defined period. This means that even if an attacker gains access, they cannot encrypt, modify, or delete your critical backup files. This feature is supported by multi-layer encryption, protecting data both in transit and at rest. An 'Always-Hot' object storage model ensures all data, including immutable backups, is immediately accessible for restores. This avoids the restore delays and API timeouts common with tiered storage, reducing operational complexity by at least 15%. This focus on resilience is critical for maintaining business continuity, which depends on seamless application performance.

Maintain Performance with Full S3 API Compatibility

Migrating to a new storage platform should not require rewriting applications or retraining your team. We offer full S3-API compatibility, ensuring your existing apps, scripts, and tools continue to work without modification. This protects your past investments and minimizes migration risk by over 90%. Our compatibility goes beyond basic operations to include advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications. This allows you to keep your data pipelines running without code rewrites. For MSPs and enterprises, this seamless integration with leading backup tools like NovaBackup simplifies the transition to a more secure and compliant storage solution. This operational consistency is matched by a pricing model designed for predictability.

Achieve Predictable Margins and Lower TCO

Cloud cost predictability is a major pain point for UK businesses, with many feeling locked into providers due to complex pricing. Our economic model is transparent and predictable by design. We charge zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and have no minimum storage durations. This model can lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 80% compared to hyperscaler alternatives. For MSPs, this translates directly to stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. We support our UK partners through distributors like Northamber plc, providing local access and fast onboarding. The partner console offers robust tools for growth. Key features for partners include:

1. Multi-tenant management with role-based access control (RBAC).
2. Full automation capabilities via API and CLI.
3. Detailed reporting and analytics.
4. Simplified compliance management for client backups.

This partner-centric approach ensures you have the tools and economic stability needed to scale your UK storage solutions. With the right partner and platform, the next step is planning a smooth transition.

Execute a Seamless Migration to Sovereign Storage

Transitioning to a sovereign edge cloud storage solution in the UK is a straightforward process with the right plan. The key is to leverage S3 compatibility for a low-friction migration that requires minimal changes to your existing workflows. Start by auditing your current data policies and identifying the workloads designated for migration, such as primary backups or long-term archives. A successful migration hinges on thorough testing of restore procedures before the final cutover. Our out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools simplify this process, often requiring only a change of endpoint credentials. This practical approach to edge-to-cloud data sync ensures your business gains the benefits of sovereignty without disrupting operations.
