Hamburg, Germany – Impossible Cloud, one of Europe’s leading cloud solution providers, announced the direct integration of its cloud storage service into Hornetsecurity VM Backup. This makes a fully EU-operated, GDPR-compliant storage option for offsite virtual machine backups immediately available to enterprises. Impossible Cloud is the only cloud storage solution operated in Europe that is fully compatible with and natively integrated into Hornetsecurity VM Backup.

The partnership allows offsite backups to be set up quickly, securely, and without complex additional configuration. Organizations benefit from a ready-to-use solution that delivers ransomware protection (including immutability), geofencing, and a transparent pay-per-use pricing model with no egress fees.

“With Hornetsecurity, we have gained a partner that stands for the highest standards in backup and IT security,” said Dr. Christian Kaul, Co-Founder and COO of Impossible Cloud. “The combination of Hornetsecurity VM Backup with our sovereign, fully European-operated storage is exactly what the market needs right now: a powerful, instantly available solution for simple, secure, and regulatory-compliant data protection.”

Hornetsecurity also sees the partnership as a milestone for the European market. “With Impossible Cloud, we have natively integrated a cloud storage solution operated entirely in Europe into VM Backup. This fulfills the demand of many enterprises and MSPs for a sovereign, ready-to-use alternative to US hyperscalers and directly addresses the market needs we have been hearing for months,” said  Daniel Blank, COO, Hornetsecurity.

For enterprises, the integration delivers not only enhanced security but also greater flexibility: virtual machines can be stored, protected, and restored within Europe without vendor lock-in. MSPs gain an immediate extension of their service portfolio with a strong differentiator in the European market.

This partnership enables companies to protect their critical systems without compromise – ensuring compliance, strong performance, and full cost control.
