Meet Demand for EU Data Residency and Cost Control

A strong majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their critical data infrastructure. This shift is driven by the need for EU data residency and transparent costs, two areas where traditional providers create uncertainty. Many companies report that egress fees for moving data out of a cloud can add up to 30% to their monthly bills.

Impossible Cloud is a European provider designed to solve these challenges directly for the Dutch market. Our platform offers S3-compatible object storage in the Netherlands with a 100% predictable cost model. We eliminate vendor lock-in by charging zero egress fees and zero API call costs, simplifying budget planning for thousands of users.

This focus on sovereignty and economic clarity provides a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative for your data strategy.

Utilize a Sovereign-by-Design Architecture

True digital sovereignty means your data is subject only to the laws of the country where it is stored. Our S3 storage is operated exclusively in certified European data centers, offering country-level geofencing to keep your data within the Netherlands under strict EU rules. This design provides total immunity from foreign laws like the CLOUD Act.

Our architecture is built for consistency and availability with an "Always-Hot" object storage model. This ensures 100% of your data is immediately accessible without the restore delays or hidden fees common with tiered systems. Key features of this sovereign architecture include:

• GDPR Compliance: Built from the ground up to meet stringent EU data protection regulations.
• Multi-Layer Encryption: All data is secured with robust encryption both in transit and at rest.
• Immutable Storage: Use S3 Object Lock to protect critical data from modification or deletion for a fixed period.
• No Single Point of Failure: Our resilient design ensures high availability for millions of files and mixed workloads.

This approach delivers the sovereign cloud storage needed for regulated workloads and sensitive information.

Strengthen Ransomware Protection and Disaster Recovery

Modern ransomware attacks require a defense strategy built on immutable backups. Our platform includes S3 Object Lock, a feature that makes your backup data unchangeable for a defined period. Implementing Object Lock can reduce ransomware recovery times by over 90% compared to traditional methods.

This feature is a core component of a resilient 3-2-1 backup strategy for any enterprise. Full S3-API compatibility ensures our storage integrates seamlessly with dozens of leading backup tools, including our collaboration with NovaBackup. You can protect past investments in scripts and applications without any code rewrites, minimizing migration risk.

This makes it simple to transition your tape-to-cloud, archiving, and secure cloud backup workflows to a more resilient platform.

Align with 2025 EU Data Regulations

Beginning in 2025, two key EU regulations will reshape data governance and security requirements for Dutch businesses. A compliant object storage platform is essential for navigating these changes. Our platform is designed to meet these future challenges today.

Here is how we help you prepare:

1. EU Data Act (September 2025): This regulation mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our full S3 compatibility and zero egress fees provide a proven exit path for 100% of your data, including metadata and versions.
2. NIS-2 Directive: This directive requires continuous security processes, supply-chain assurance, and strict incident reporting timelines. Our platform has these principles baked into its operations, not added as an afterthought.
3. BSI C5 Criteria: We align with the high security standards defined by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
4. ENISA Guidance: Our risk management approach follows recommendations from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA).

This regulatory readiness provides a competitive advantage for any organization using our European S3 storage.

Enable MSPs with Predictable Margins and Partner-Ready Tools

For Managed Service Providers, resellers, and system integrators, predictable margins are critical for profitability. Our channel program is built on a "Predictable by Design" model. With zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations, you can build defensible margins for your Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving offerings.

Our partner console is designed for efficiency with multi-tenant management and role-based access control (RBAC). Onboarding takes less than 15 minutes, and automation is simple via our full API and CLI support. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expand local access for hundreds of MSPs.

This partner-ready approach simplifies compliance and accelerates growth for our channel network across Europe.

Implement a Cost-Effective and Future-Proof Strategy

Switching to a sovereign cloud provider should be a straightforward process that protects your existing investments. Our full S3 compatibility ensures your current applications, scripts, and tools continue working without modification. This preserves your negotiation power and long-term freedom of action.

Our transparent object storage pricing model is simple: you only pay for the storage you use. There are no hidden charges for data retrieval or API requests, which are common pain points with other providers. This economic clarity, combined with guaranteed service levels and low-latency regional data centers, provides a stable foundation for your business planning.
