Align Veeam Backups with EU Data Sovereignty Mandates

A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical infrastructure, making EU data residency a key criterion. Storing your Veeam backups with a non-EU provider, even in a European data center, creates exposure to foreign laws like the US CLOUD Act. This legislation allows foreign authorities to demand access to your data, creating a direct conflict with GDPR's strict data transfer rules. True sovereignty means your data is governed exclusively by EU law. Impossible Cloud provides this assurance by operating only in certified European data centers, managed by a European company. This design eliminates CLOUD Act exposure entirely, ensuring your immutable backup storage strategy is 100% GDPR-compliant. This focus on sovereignty is the first step toward a resilient data protection plan.

Implement Ransomware-Proofing with S3 Object Lock

Ransomware attacks in 2025 increasingly target backup repositories to prevent recovery. A standard backup is not enough; you need a veeam immutable backup storage solution. Impossible Cloud utilizes S3 Object Lock to make your Veeam backups unchangeable for a defined period. This Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) model means that once a backup file is written, it cannot be altered or deleted by anyone, not even an administrator with root access. This feature is a critical last line of defense, ensuring a clean recovery point is always available. Our full S3-API compatibility ensures seamless integration with your existing Veeam software and scripts. This technical safeguard is your best defense against data destruction.

Eliminate Hidden Costs with a Predictable Storage Model

Many businesses feel locked into their cloud providers due to complex pricing and punitive fees. A significant pain point is egress fees, which penalize you for restoring your own data. Impossible Cloud offers a transparent economic model with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration. This predictability is a game-changer for IT budgeting and for MSPs needing stable margins. Our “Always-Hot” architecture further reduces costs and complexity. All data is instantly accessible without the restore delays or fees associated with tiered storage systems. This approach simplifies your Veeam storage optimization and guarantees fast restores during a disaster recovery scenario.

Leverage an Enterprise-Ready, High-Performance Architecture

An effective backup solution requires more than just storage; it needs a robust and consistent architecture. Impossible Cloud is built for enterprise workloads with strong read/write consistency and predictable low latencies from our regional EU data centers. Our platform provides advanced S3- API capabilities beyond basic operations:

• Full support for versioning and lifecycle management.
• Identity-based IAM with granular, role-driven policies.
• Support for external identity providers via SAML/OIDC.
• A first-class console UX for easy bucket and policy management.

This enterprise-grade foundation ensures your Veeam backups to S3 run smoothly and securely, protecting your past investments in scripts and workflows. This robust framework prepares your organization for future regulatory demands.

Achieve Future-Proof Compliance with EU Regulations

The regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, and your storage partner must keep pace. Impossible Cloud is designed for compliance with upcoming EU legislation. The EU Data Act, fully applicable from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our use of open standards and exportable formats ensures you have a real exit path. The NIS-2 Directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance for critical infrastructure. Our operations, including patch management and vulnerability scanning, are baked into our service, not added as an afterthought. This proactive stance on compliance turns your ransomware-resistant storage into a competitive advantage.

Empower MSPs and Channel Partners with a Predictable Value Proposition

For our partners, predictability is profit. Our “Partner-ready” model is designed to deliver stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. The absence of egress and API fees means you can price your services confidently without fearing surprise costs when your clients need to restore data. We provide the tools MSPs need for efficient operations:

1. A multi-tenant console with robust RBAC and MFA.
2. Full automation capabilities via our S3-compatible API and CLI.
3. Clear reporting tools for client management.
4. Fast onboarding to get you started in minutes.

With our expanding distribution network, including api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, local access and support for resellers and MSPs are stronger than ever. This partner focus is central to our growth strategy.

Follow Practical Steps for a Seamless Transition

Migrating your Veeam backups to Impossible Cloud is a straightforward process. Our full S3 compatibility minimizes migration risk and protects your existing investments in automation and workflows. Start by following a proven backup strategy like the 3-2-1 rule, where you keep three copies of your data on two different media, with one copy offsite. Using Impossible Cloud as your offsite, immutable copy significantly strengthens this model. To begin, simply update your Veeam repository endpoint to Impossible Cloud, configure your Object Lock policies, and run a test restore to validate the process. This simple change enhances your ransomware protection with minimal operational disruption.
