For Manchester-based MSPs and resellers, offering competitive backup storage solutions is a constant balance of performance, cost, and compliance. Traditional hyperscale providers often introduce unpredictable expenses through egress fees and complex API charges, making it difficult to guarantee margins. Furthermore, navigating data sovereignty regulations like GDPR adds another layer of risk. This article outlines a sovereign-by-design, S3-compatible object storage solution that delivers the predictable economics and robust security UK resellers need to build profitable, resilient backup and disaster recovery services for their clients.
Key Takeaways
- Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs with a storage model that has zero egress fees and no API charges, guaranteeing stable margins for resellers.
- Offer clients true data sovereignty with storage exclusively in EU data centers, ensuring GDPR compliance and avoiding CLOUD Act exposure.
- Provide advanced ransomware protection using S3 Object Lock for immutable backups, making client data invulnerable to encryption.
Deliver True Data Sovereignty to UK Clients
For UK businesses, ensuring backup data adheres to EU GDPR is a primary concern, even post-Brexit. Our platform offers strictly European, geofenced storage, keeping all data within certified EU data centers and away from CLOUD Act exposure. This provides a 100% compliant solution your clients can trust. Resellers can offer guaranteed EU data residency as a core feature. This sovereign-by-design approach simplifies compliance for any UK reseller data center strategy. This focus on regulatory alignment builds immediate trust with clients in regulated industries.
Build Predictable Revenue with a Zero-Fee Model
Unpredictable costs are the top challenge for resellers offering backup services. Many providers charge significant egress fees when data is restored, which can eliminate profit margins on a large recovery job. We have eliminated 100% of egress fees and API call charges. This transparent model ensures your costs remain fixed, allowing you to build defensible margins for BaaS and archiving. Your margin is protected regardless of your client's data access patterns. Through our UK distributor, Northamber plc, Manchester resellers gain local access to this predictable financial model, simplifying your entire sales cycle.
Leverage Enterprise-Ready S3-Compatible Architecture
Full S3 API compatibility is essential for seamless integration with existing backup tools and scripts. Our platform ensures your current applications, like Veeam or NovaBackup, work out-of-the-box without any code rewrites, protecting your investment in a UK S3 compatibility solution. We provide an “Always-Hot” object storage model, meaning all data is available for immediate restore with zero delays. This architecture eliminates the fragile tiering policies that cause API timeouts and hidden restore fees with other providers. This model guarantees 100% data accessibility for faster recovery times.
Key architectural benefits for resellers include:
- Full S3 API Support: Ensures out-of-the-box integration with leading backup tools, protecting past investments.
- Always-Hot Access: All objects are immediately accessible, eliminating restore delays and tiering complexity.
- Multi-AZ Replication: Provides strong read/write consistency and protects data integrity against single points of failure.
- Granular IAM: Role-driven policies with MFA and support for SAML/OIDC map to real organizational structures.
This robust foundation ensures your backup services are both resilient and easy to manage.
Offer Advanced Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage
Ransomware remains a top threat, with attacks growing more sophisticated each year. Offering effective protection is a key value proposition for any backup service. Our platform includes Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock as a standard feature. This allows you to create write-once-read-many (WORM) backup copies that cannot be altered or deleted by anyone—not even an administrator with root credentials—for a set period. This makes your clients' backups invulnerable to ransomware encryption. This feature is a critical component for any modern reseller ransomware protection strategy. It provides the audit-ready retention capabilities that businesses in finance and healthcare demand.
Turn Regulatory Readiness into a Competitive Advantage
Upcoming EU regulations create new opportunities for prepared resellers. The EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability, directly opposing vendor lock-in. Our model, with no egress fees and open standards, is already aligned with this principle. Additionally, the NIS-2 directive requires stronger supply-chain security and continuous process documentation for critical infrastructure. Our platform's built-in compliance helps your clients meet these new standards effortlessly. By offering a secure object storage solution, you position yourself as a forward-looking partner. This proactive stance on compliance becomes a powerful differentiator in a crowded market.
Utilize Partner-Ready Tools Designed for MSPs
Growth requires efficiency, and our platform is built specifically for the channel. The partner console provides powerful multi-tenant management from a single interface. You can automate client onboarding, provisioning, and reporting using the full API/CLI. This reduces your operational overhead by at least 30%. This automation allows you to scale your backup services without scaling your headcount.
Our partner program provides the tools for success:
- Multi-Tenant Console: Manage all your clients with granular RBAC and MFA for enhanced security.
- Full Automation Suite: Utilize the API and CLI to integrate our storage into your existing workflows.
- Simple Onboarding: Get new clients set up and protected in minutes, not days.
- UK Distribution: Local support and access through our partner, Northamber plc.
With these tools, you can focus on building client relationships and growing your business.
Implement a Resilient 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
A modern backup strategy requires multiple layers of protection. The 3-2-1 rule—three copies of your data on two different media types, with one copy offsite—is the industry standard. Our cloud storage provides the ideal offsite target for this strategy. By integrating with tools like Veeam for backup, you can automate sending backups to our secure, immutable repository. This completes the 3-2-1 rule with a sovereign, ransomware-proof cloud copy. This simple, effective approach gives your clients peace of mind, knowing their data is protected and recoverable from any disaster. Now is the time to strengthen your backup offerings.
