Prioritise Data Sovereignty and Eliminate Regulatory Risk

London businesses operating with EU data face increasing regulatory pressure. The EU's GDPR can impose fines up to 4% of global turnover for non-compliance. Storing data exclusively in European data centres provides a direct solution to these challenges. This strategy ensures your data is governed solely by UK law, avoiding exposure to foreign statutes like the US CLOUD Act.

A strong majority of EU leaders now make UK data residency solutions a key criterion in vendor selection. Our platform offers country-level geofencing to keep data within predefined European regions. This delivers the EU legal certainty required by over 46% of organisations. This approach is fundamental for maintaining control in an evolving digital landscape. It prepares your infrastructure for what comes next.

Achieve Cost Predictability by Removing Hidden Fees

Unpredictable costs are a primary pain point in cloud adoption. Egress fees alone can consume up to 15% of a total cloud bill, creating significant budget overruns. Our pricing model is designed for transparency and predictability. We charge zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and have no minimum storage durations. This removes the financial penalties for accessing your own data.

This predictable-by-design model prevents the vendor lock-in that high exit fees create. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), this translates directly to stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. By choosing a transparent economic model for your enterprise cloud storage in the UK, you regain financial control. This allows for better long-term planning and resource allocation.

Leverage Full S3 Compatibility for Seamless Migration

The S3 API is the de-facto standard for object storage, powering countless applications. Full S3 compatibility ensures your existing tools, scripts, and applications continue to work without code rewrites. This protects past investments and dramatically reduces migration risk and complexity. You can simply change the endpoint and credentials to start.

Our platform supports advanced S3-API capabilities beyond basic operations. This includes versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications for complex workflows. This compatibility gives you the freedom to migrate from AWS S3 without disruption. A checklist for a smooth transition includes:

• Map existing bucket policies and IAM roles to the new environment.
• Update application endpoints and access keys in your configuration files.
• Conduct a pilot migration with a non-critical dataset of at least 1 TB.
• Perform a test restore to validate data integrity and access speeds.
• Automate the full migration using your preferred S3-native tools.

This seamless integration ensures your operational pipelines remain intact and efficient.

Build a Resilient Architecture for Modern Workloads

Modern data workloads demand consistent performance and immediate access. Our architecture is built to eliminate single points of failure, ensuring high availability. We provide an "Always-Hot" object storage model where all data is instantly accessible. This avoids the restore delays and hidden fees associated with tiered storage systems.

Fragile tiering policies often lead to API timeouts and operational surprises during urgent restores. Our model guarantees predictable latencies for millions of files, from analytics to archives. This simplifies operations for any UK object storage use case. It provides the stability needed for business continuity and disaster recovery planning.

Implement Immutable Storage for Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup data to prevent recovery. A study found that in 94% of ransomware incidents, criminals attempted to compromise backups. Our platform provides Immutable Storage using Object Lock. This feature applies a Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) model to your data backups.

Once an object is locked, it cannot be altered or deleted by anyone-not even an administrator-until the retention period expires. This creates a virtual air gap, rendering your backups immune to malicious encryption. It is a critical defence for any London cloud storage strategy. Key steps to implement this protection include:

1. Enable Object Lock on your designated backup buckets during creation.
2. Define retention policies (e. g., 30 days) that align with your recovery point objectives.
3. Integrate with leading backup tools like Nova Backup for automated, immutable backups.
4. Regularly test your restore process from an immutable backup copy.

This proactive security measure is essential to protect UK business data and ensure recoverability.

Prepare for 2025 UK Regulations Like UK NIS Regulations and the Data Act

The regulatory landscape is tightening for 2025 and beyond. The EU Data Act, applicable from September 12, 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our platform is built on open standards, ensuring you can always export your data, including all metadata and versions. This aligns directly with the Act's goal of giving you control over your data.

Simultaneously, the UK NIS Regulations requires enhanced cybersecurity measures for critical sectors, including supply-chain assurance and strict incident reporting timelines. Our operational security, including multi-layer encryption and IAM with MFA, is designed to meet these continuous security process requirements. By choosing a compliant sovereign cloud in the UK, you build a future-proof foundation for your data governance strategy.

Enable Channel Partners with a Predictable and Ready Platform

We designed our platform to empower MSPs, resellers, and system integrators. The predictable cost model with zero egress or API fees allows partners to build BaaS and archiving services with stable, defensible margins. This removes the billing surprises that erode profitability and damage client trust.

Our partner console offers multi-tenant management with role-based access control (RBAC) and MFA for security. Onboarding is fast, with automation available via a full API and CLI. We are expanding local access for UK partners through our new distributor, Northamber plc. This commitment to the channel provides the tools and commercial framework needed for success with British cloud storage companies.
