Establish True Data Sovereignty with Geofenced Storage

True digital sovereignty means your data is subject only to the laws of the country where it resides. For UK businesses, using a strictly European, GDPR-compliant provider is the first step. Our platform operates exclusively in certified UK data centres, offering country-level geofencing to ensure your data never leaves predefined regions. This architecture provides 100% legal certainty and insulates your business from the US CLOUD Act, which can compel US-based providers to disclose data regardless of where it is stored.

A strong majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their critical infrastructure. By choosing UK data residency solutions, you align with this growing momentum. This approach ensures that all data, including metadata and keys, remains under EU control, simplifying compliance and strengthening your security posture from day one. This foundation of sovereignty prepares your business for the next wave of regulatory requirements.

Eliminate Hidden Fees with a Predictable Economic Model

Unpredictable costs are a major pain point for IT leaders, with egress and API fees accounting for nearly half of all cloud billing expenses for many firms. Our economic model is predictable by design, featuring zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This transparency allows you to forecast expenses with complete accuracy, a significant advantage for both enterprise IT and MSPs building services on our platform. This model can reduce cloud spend by 20-40% for data-intensive workloads.

This approach directly addresses the vendor lock-in felt by many organisations. The upcoming EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates easier switching between cloud providers and will phase out exit fees by 2027. By partnering with a provider already aligned with these principles, you gain a competitive edge and ensure long-term freedom of action. Predictable economics are the key to unlocking scalable and sustainable cloud operations.

Deploy Immutable Backups for Resilient Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks have nearly doubled in the last year, making immutable storage a critical defence layer. Our platform includes S3 Immutable Storage (Object Lock), which uses a write-once-read-many (WORM) model to make data unchangeable. Once an object is locked, it cannot be altered or deleted by anyone-including internal actors or cybercriminals-for a defined retention period. This feature neutralises the encryption stage of a ransomware attack, ensuring your backups are always recoverable.

Implementing a robust backup strategy is essential for resilience. Here is a common framework:

• 3-2-1 Rule: Maintain at least three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one copy stored offsite.
• Immutable Copy: Ensure one of those copies is immutable, making it impervious to ransomware encryption.
• Regular Testing: Automate and regularly test your restore procedures to verify data integrity and recovery times.
• Access Control: Use granular IAM with MFA and role-based access control (RBAC) to limit permissions to the bare minimum required.

This layered security approach, combining multi-layer encryption with secure cloud backup, provides a powerful defence against modern cyber threats. This resilience is further enhanced by an architecture designed for immediate data access.

Simplify Operations with an 'Always-Hot' Storage Architecture

Complex storage tiering often creates hidden operational costs and delays. Policies for moving data between hot, warm, and cold tiers can become brittle, leading to API timeouts, unexpected retrieval fees, and failed restores during emergencies. Our 'Always-Hot' object storage model eliminates this complexity entirely. All data is immediately accessible without any tier-restore delays, simplifying operations and ensuring third-party tools remain stable.

This architecture provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies, which is ideal for mixed workloads from millions of small files to large archives. For use cases like disaster recovery, immediate access is not a luxury-it is a core requirement. An always-hot model ensures your London cloud storage is ready for recovery scenarios 100% of the time, reducing operational risk and keeping your applications predictable. This simplicity is crucial for maintaining seamless integrations.

Ensure Future-Readiness with Advanced S3 Compatibility

Full S3-API compatibility is essential for protecting past investments and minimising migration risk. Our platform supports not only standard object operations but also advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications. This ensures your existing applications, scripts, and backup tools continue to work without any code rewrites. Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup ISVs, including a collaboration with NovaBackup, streamline the transition to a sovereign cloud environment.

This commitment to open standards is a core tenet of the upcoming EU Data Act, which promotes interoperability by design. By choosing a fully compatible sovereign cloud in the UK, you ensure a proven exit path and avoid vendor lock-in. This technical alignment provides the foundation for a scalable and compliant data strategy, particularly for our partners.

Empower UK Channel Partners with Predictable Margins and Local Support

For MSPs, resellers, and system integrators, predictable margins are the bedrock of a profitable service offering. Our partner-ready model, with its zero egress and API fees, allows you to build Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions with stable, defensible margins. The platform is designed for the channel, featuring a multi-tenant console with robust RBAC/MFA, full automation via API/CLI, and clear reporting for streamlined management.

We are expanding our UK presence to provide localised support for our partners. A key 2025 milestone is our partnership with our first UK distributor, Northamber plc. This collaboration expands local access for resellers and MSPs across the country, ensuring fast onboarding and expert support. This growing ecosystem makes it easier than ever for British cloud storage companies to deliver sovereign solutions to their clients. Now is the time to take practical steps toward implementation.

Take Practical Steps Toward Sovereign Cloud Adoption

Migrating to a new cloud storage provider requires a clear plan. A well-structured approach minimises risk and ensures a smooth transition for your applications and data. More than 70% of organisations are now prioritising UK data residency in their selection criteria.

Here is a checklist to guide your migration:

1. Assess Your Workloads: Identify all applications and data sets that require sovereign storage, paying close attention to regulated or sensitive information.
2. Configure Endpoints: Update your S3-compatible tools, scripts, and applications with the new service endpoints and credentials.
3. Replicate Policies: Recreate your existing IAM policies, lifecycle rules, and bucket permissions in the new environment.
4. Conduct a Pilot Migration: Start with a non-critical dataset to test the data transfer process and validate tool compatibility.
5. Perform Test Restores: Before cutting over, conduct several test restores to verify data integrity and measure recovery performance against your RTOs.
6. Execute the Full Migration: Use proven bulk data movement tools to transfer the remaining data, scheduling the final sync during a low-impact window.

By following these steps, you can confidently transition to a UK data centre solution that delivers both sovereignty and performance. Talk to an expert to get a personalised migration plan for your business.
