Secure Data Residency with Geofenced S3 Storage

For German enterprises, ensuring data remains under national jurisdiction is a primary security and compliance requirement. Storing data with a provider headquartered in Germany and operating exclusively in certified European data centers provides absolute clarity on legal governance. Our S3-compatible object storage is sovereign by design, utilizing country-level geofencing to guarantee your critical data for backups and archives stays within Germany. This directly addresses the core tenets of GDPR by ensuring data is subject only to German and EU laws.

This approach eliminates exposure to foreign jurisdictional requests, a risk highlighted by the US CLOUD Act which can compel US-based providers to disclose data regardless of where it is stored. A strictly EU-centric governance model provides 100% legal certainty. Choosing a sovereign cloud storage solution is a strategic move to de-risk operations and build trust with customers who expect their data to be managed under the highest European standards. This foundation of localized control is the first step toward a resilient data strategy.

Eliminate Hidden Fees with a Predictable Cost Model

Cloud cost management is a significant challenge for German businesses, with many spending up to 35% more on cloud resources than necessary. Traditional cloud storage models often include unpredictable expenses like egress fees and API call charges, which complicate budgeting and reduce margins. Our pricing model is predictable by design, featuring zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration. This transparency is crucial for IT leaders who need to forecast expenses accurately and for MSPs building profitable Backup-as-a-Service offerings.

This model aligns with the goals of the EU Data Act, which, from September 2025, aims to eliminate vendor lock-in and will phase out switching charges entirely by January 2027. By adopting a transparent S3 storage pricing model today, your organization gains a competitive advantage. Predictable economics allow for better resource planning and investment in innovation. This financial clarity sets the stage for scaling operations without unexpected financial penalties.

Maintain Full Application Compatibility and Performance

Switching cloud providers is often slowed by concerns over performance parity and migration complexity. Our platform addresses this with full S3-API compatibility, ensuring your existing applications, scripts, and backup tools continue to work without code rewrites. This protects your past investments and minimizes migration risk, a key factor for the 76% of companies using a multi-cloud strategy. Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup software, including a collaboration with NovaBackup, simplify the transition for MSPs and enterprise IT teams alike.

Our architecture is built for consistency and availability, featuring an "Always-Hot" object storage model where all data is immediately accessible. This design avoids the delays and hidden fees associated with tiered storage, where restoring archived data can cause API timeouts and operational friction. This model guarantees strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for all workloads. With a reliable and low-latency S3 storage infrastructure, your critical operations remain uninterrupted.

Strengthen Ransomware Defense with Immutable Backups

Ransomware remains a top threat, with Germany being one of the most impacted countries in Europe. In 2025, 63% of German companies that fell victim to an attack paid the ransom, a rate well above the international average. A robust defense requires more than just backups; it requires backups that cannot be altered or deleted. Our S3-compatible storage includes Immutable Storage with Object Lock, a critical defense mechanism that makes your backup data tamper-proof for a defined period.

This feature helps create an audit-ready retention policy and ensures you have a clean, uncorrupted copy of your data for recovery after an attack. Here is how it enhances your security posture:

• It prevents accidental or malicious deletion of critical backup files.
• It helps meet compliance requirements for data retention in regulated industries.
• It provides a reliable last line of defense, ensuring data restorability.
• It works seamlessly with leading backup software that supports S3 Object Lock.

By implementing immutable backups, you create a resilient secure cloud backup strategy that directly counters modern extortion tactics. This proactive security measure is essential for maintaining business continuity.

Meet Evolving EU Regulations Like NIS-2 and the Data Act

The European regulatory landscape is evolving, and your cloud infrastructure must keep pace. The NIS-2 Directive, set to be transposed into German law, mandates stricter cybersecurity measures, including supply chain risk management and incident reporting within 24 hours for essential entities. Our platform's security features, such as multi-layer encryption and IAM with MFA/RBAC, are designed to help you meet these stringent requirements. We provide the tools to build a security posture compliant with both GDPR and NIS-2.

Furthermore, the EU Data Act champions data portability, requiring providers to facilitate easy switching. Our commitment to open standards and a pricing model free of egress fees ensures you have a practical exit path, preventing vendor lock-in. Operating exclusively in certified EU data centers aligns your data strategy with current and future regulations. This regulatory readiness provides a distinct competitive advantage in a market that increasingly values GDPR-compliant S3 storage.

Empower Channel Partners and MSPs with a Partner-Ready Platform

For MSPs, resellers, and system integrators, predictable margins are the foundation of a successful business. Our partner-ready platform is built to support the channel with a financial model that eliminates egress and API fees, ensuring the profitability of your backup and archiving services. The multi-tenant partner console simplifies management with features like role-based access control (RBAC), MFA, and streamlined reporting, enabling fast and secure onboarding for new clients.

We are continuously expanding our ecosystem to support our partners across Europe. Recent milestones include distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, expanding local access for resellers. This channel focus provides the tools and support needed to deliver sovereign cloud solutions to your clients. This commitment to the partner ecosystem ensures you can confidently build services on a reliable and profitable object storage platform.

Practical Steps to Migrate to Sovereign S3 Storage

Transitioning to a sovereign cloud storage in Germany is a straightforward process with the right plan. A successful migration protects your data integrity and minimizes downtime. Here is a simple checklist to guide your move:

1. Assess Your Data: Identify all datasets to be migrated and classify them based on sensitivity and regulatory requirements.
2. Configure Endpoints: Update your S3 client, backup software, or scripts with the new service endpoint, access key, and secret key.
3. Replicate Policies: Recreate your bucket policies, lifecycle rules, and IAM user permissions in the new environment.
4. Initiate a Test Transfer: Move a small, non-critical dataset to validate the connection and measure transfer performance.
5. Perform a Test Restore: Conduct a test restore from the new storage target to confirm data integrity and accessibility.
6. Execute the Full Migration: Once testing is successful, begin the full data migration, monitoring progress closely.
7. Update DNS and Applications: After migration, update any relevant application configurations or DNS records to point to the new storage.
8. Decommission Old Storage: Once you have fully verified the new environment, you can safely decommission your old storage solution.

Following these steps ensures a seamless transition to a more secure and compliant storage foundation. Now is the time to take control of your data's future.
