Achieve Digital Sovereignty With S3-Compatible Business Object Storage
Enterprises face a difficult choice between cloud innovation and the growing risks of unpredictable costs and regulatory exposure. A new class of business object storage with S3 compatibility offers a solution. It delivers digital sovereignty and cost predictability by design.
Key Takeawys
True digital sovereignty is achieved by using EU-based providers with EU-controlled operations, eliminating exposure to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act.
Advanced S3 compatibility ensures that existing applications, scripts, and data pipelines work without modification, protecting technology investments.
A transparent pricing model with no egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration provides predictable economics and removes the risk of vendor lock-in.
Most EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their critical data infrastructure, driven by regulations like GDPR and the need to avoid CLOUD Act exposure. Yet, many feel locked into existing providers due to complex pricing and migration risks. True digital sovereignty requires more than just an EU data center; it demands a platform built on European legal foundations with full S3 API support. This approach ensures your existing tools and applications keep working, protecting investments while delivering the compliance and cost transparency that over 80% of IT leaders prioritize.
Deliver Seamless Integration With Advanced S3 Compatibility
True enterprise readiness in business object storage with S3 compatibility goes beyond basic operations. It requires 100% support for advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications. This ensures your existing data pipelines and applications continue to function without a single code rewrite. Protecting your past technology investments minimizes migration risk by at least 50%. Our S3-compatible object storage guarantees that your scripts, apps, and tools keep working seamlessly. This comprehensive API, CLI, and SDK support is the foundation for a resilient and future-proof data strategy.
Build Resilience With a Consistent, High-Availability Architecture
Modern workloads demand an architecture built for integrity and scale, from millions of small files to large archives. Our platform provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies through multi-AZ replication, eliminating single points of failure. We employ an “Always-Hot” object storage model, ensuring 100% of your data is immediately accessible. This approach avoids the operational complexity and hidden costs associated with fragile tiering policies, which often lead to restore delays of 24 hours or more. With an always-hot model, every third-party tool remains stable and every restore is predictable, strengthening your overall enterprise storage strategy.
Map Governance to Your Organization With Granular IAM
Effective governance requires identity and access management that reflects your organizational structure. Our platform provides identity-based IAM with granular, role-driven policies and secure defaults from day one. Support for external IdPs via SAML/OIDC allows for seamless integration with your existing identity systems, reducing administrative overhead by over 30%. The console UX is designed for clarity and control, enabling teams to manage buckets, assign fine-grained permissions, and configure lifecycle rules without deep API expertise. This first-class user experience includes robust features for any secure S3 object storage deployment.
Key IAM capabilities include:
Role-driven policies with fine-grained permissions.
Support for external identity providers via SAML/OIDC.
Secure defaults to minimize configuration errors.
Time-bounded access controls and presigned URLs.
A first-class console UX for simplified management.
Comprehensive logging for auditing and monitoring.
Ensure Compliance With Security and Keys Under EU Control
For European businesses, data sovereignty is a strategic imperative, with 84% of decision-makers citing it as a critical factor. Our business object storage with S3 compatibility operates exclusively in certified EU data centers, aligning with GDPR and supporting country-level geofencing for regulated workloads. This EU-centric governance model completely avoids CLOUD Act exposure. We provide verified multi-layer encryption and EU-controlled key management, including robust revocation procedures. For ransomware defense, Immutable Storage via Object Lock offers audit-ready retention, a feature now considered essential by over 60% of security leaders. This commitment to EU-native security provides verifiable legal certainty.
Gain a Competitive Advantage With Regulatory Readiness
Proactive compliance with upcoming EU regulations creates a significant competitive advantage. Our platform is designed for the EU Data Act, which mandates data portability and interoperability from September 2025. We provide proven exit paths with no lock-in, ensuring you can move all data, metadata, and versions freely. For the NIS-2 Directive, our operations incorporate a continuous security process, including supply-chain assurance and vulnerability management, affecting nearly 30,000 German enterprises alone. This readiness is baked into our service, not an afterthought. This focus on regulatory alignment reduces your compliance burden.
Achieve Predictable Economics With Transparent SLAs
Cloud cost complexity is a major pain point for over 50% of companies. Our economic model for business object storage with S3 compatibility is built on transparency and predictability. We feature zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations, eliminating surprise charges entirely. This transparent model allows for precise budget forecasting, a key requirement for 75% of IT finance planners. Guaranteed service levels and regional proximity ensure low latency and reliable performance under load, allowing you to handle large object sets with steady API performance. This is how we deliver a truly predictable storage solution.
