Eliminate Budget Shock with a Predictable, Zero-Fee Model

Unplanned egress charges create significant financial risk, challenging budget allocations for nearly every IT department. With a zero egress fees cloud storage model, you remove this volatility entirely. This approach also eliminates API call costs and minimum storage duration fees, creating a transparent economic framework. For MSPs, this translates directly to predictable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. Enterprises regain control over their budgets, allowing for accurate financial planning without fear of a 10x cost spike from a disaster recovery test. This transparent model is a core component of a predictable pricing strategy.

Predictable economics are the foundation for building a sustainable, long-term data strategy without vendor lock-in.

Strengthen Digital Sovereignty and EU Compliance

True data sovereignty is not just about where data is stored; it's about the legal jurisdiction that governs it. Storing data in EU data centers is a critical first step, but if the provider is subject to non-EU laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act, your data remains exposed. A sovereign-by-design platform operates exclusively in certified European data centers, governed strictly by EU law. This architecture provides country-level geofencing to guarantee EU data residency, a key criterion for GDPR compliance. For industries like financial services, this alignment offers the legal certainty required for handling sensitive workloads. This EU-only operational model is a direct countermeasure to CLOUD Act exposure. You can learn more about this in our European S3 alternative guide.

This focus on jurisdictional control prepares your organization for the next wave of EU regulations.

Meet Enterprise Demands with an 'Always-Hot' Architecture

Enterprise workloads demand consistent performance, whether restoring a single file or millions of objects. Complex tiering models often create operational fragility, leading to restore delays and API timeouts. An “Always-Hot” object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible with predictable latencies, eliminating the hidden operational costs of tiering. This architecture provides the strong read/write consistency needed for mixed workloads, from backup and analytics to archiving. Full S3-API compatibility ensures your existing applications and scripts continue to work without code rewrites, protecting investments made over the last 10 years. This seamless integration is a cornerstone of a zero-friction cloud migration.

Here is what enterprise-ready S3 compatibility includes:

• Support for advanced object operations like versioning and lifecycle management.
• Consistent performance across API, CLI, and SDKs for automation.
• Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools like NovaBackup.
• Secure identity and access management with SAML/OIDC support for external IdPs.

This robust feature set ensures your security and governance policies are enforced without compromise.

Build a Resilient Defense Against Ransomware

Ransomware attacks continue to grow in sophistication, with global payments exceeding one billion dollars in 2023. A modern defense strategy requires a last line of defense that attackers cannot breach. Immutable storage with Object Lock provides this protection. It allows you to make backups unchangeable for a defined period, ensuring that even if attackers gain administrative access, they cannot encrypt or delete your recovery points. This Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) model is essential for a 3-2-1 backup strategy and provides an audit-ready retention trail for compliance. Paired with multi-layer encryption and IAM controls with MFA, it creates a formidable barrier against data destruction. This approach is fundamental to a cost-effective security posture.

With immutable backups, you can confidently restore clean data and avoid paying a ransom.

Future-Proof Your Data Strategy for the EU Data Act and NIS-2

The European regulatory landscape is evolving, and your storage strategy must adapt. Two key regulations are shaping the future:

1. The EU Data Act (from September 2025): This regulation mandates data portability and interoperability, making it easier to switch cloud providers. A platform built on open standards with a zero egress fee model inherently aligns with this principle, proving a real exit path and preventing vendor lock-in.
2. The NIS-2 Directive: This directive imposes stricter cybersecurity requirements on critical infrastructure providers, including continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance. Choosing a provider that bakes these requirements into its core operations is a competitive advantage.

Aligning with a provider that is sovereign by design ensures you are prepared for these regulations, not reacting to them. This proactive stance simplifies compliance and reduces long-term risk. You can compare different approaches in our S3 pricing comparison.

This regulatory readiness transforms compliance from a burden into a strategic asset.

Enable Predictable Margins and Growth for MSPs

For MSPs, resellers, and system integrators, profitability hinges on predictability. The zero egress fees cloud storage model is predictable by design, ensuring stable and defensible margins for backup and archiving services. A partner-ready platform provides the tools needed to operate efficiently at scale, including a multi-tenant console with robust RBAC/MFA and automation via a full-featured API and CLI. Fast onboarding and clear reporting simplify operations, allowing partners to focus on growth. Recent distribution momentum with partners like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expands local access for the channel, demonstrating a strong commitment to the partner ecosystem. This makes it easier than ever to build cost-efficient storage solutions for clients.
