Achieve Sovereign Collaboration With a Cloud-Based Tool for Collaboration and Object Storage
Enterprises demand data sovereignty, but complexity and high costs create barriers. A European cloud-based tool for collaboration and object storage offers a practical path forward. It delivers performance parity, transparent pricing, and robust security under EU law.
Key Takeawys
Achieve full digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance with a cloud tool for collaboration and object storage operated exclusively in certified EU data centers, free from US CLOUD Act exposure.
Eliminate unpredictable costs with a transparent pricing model that includes zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations.
Protect against ransomware and data loss with enterprise-grade features like Immutable Storage (Object Lock), an "Always-Hot" architecture, and full S3 API compatibility for seamless integration.
A majority of EU decision-makers now prioritize European solutions for critical data infrastructure. Yet, concerns over performance, security, and cost transparency often slow the move away from established providers. Impossible Cloud addresses these challenges directly with a sovereign, S3-compatible object storage platform. Operated exclusively from certified European data centers, it provides a resilient and compliant alternative. The platform eliminates egress fees and API call costs, offering predictable economics for enterprises and MSPs. This focus on EU-centric governance and transparent operations reduces lock-in risk and ensures data remains under EU control.
Secure EU Data Sovereignty by Design
A majority of EU businesses now see EU data residency as a key criterion for cloud services. Our platform operates exclusively in certified European data centers, offering country-level geofencing. This ensures your data stays in predefined regions, fully compliant with GDPR. We eliminate exposure to the US CLOUD Act through strictly EU-centric data governance. This sovereign-by-design approach provides the legal certainty required for regulated workloads. Explore our data management platform to learn more. This commitment to sovereignty is the foundation of a trusted partnership.
Gain Full S3 Compatibility Without Compromise
True S3 compatibility protects your technology investments and eliminates migration risks. Our platform supports 100% of S3 API calls for standard and advanced object operations. This includes versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications across the API, CLI, and SDK. Your existing applications, scripts, and backup tools continue working without any code rewrites. This seamless integration ensures your operational pipelines run without disruption. You can maintain business continuity with zero friction. This architectural consistency is vital for modern workloads.
Leverage an Architecture Built for Resilience
Our architecture provides strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for millions of files. We utilize an “Always-Hot” object storage model where all data is immediately accessible. This avoids the restore delays and hidden fees common with tiered storage systems. For robust ransomware protection, we offer the following features:
Immutable Storage / Object Lock: This feature makes data unchangeable for a set period, preventing encryption or deletion by attackers.
Multi-layer Encryption: Data is secured both in transit and at rest using advanced encryption standards.
Resilient Design: Our architecture eliminates single points of failure, ensuring high availability.
IAM with MFA/RBAC: Granular access controls ensure only authorized users can access or manage data.
This resilient foundation is critical for building a secure file-sharing solution. It prepares your organization for evolving regulatory demands.
Meet and Exceed Modern EU Compliance Mandates
Regulatory readiness offers a significant competitive advantage in today's market. Our platform is engineered to align with key EU regulations from day one. This proactive stance on compliance simplifies your governance tasks. We address two critical pieces of legislation:
EU Data Act (from September 2025): We ensure data portability by design, allowing you to export data, metadata, and versions without lock-in.
NIS2 Directive: Our operations include continuous security processes, vulnerability management, and supply-chain assurance to meet these stringent requirements.
By baking these standards into our service, we help you stay ahead of compliance deadlines. This focus on regulatory alignment extends to our partner ecosystem.
Empower MSPs with a Partner-Ready Platform
We designed our platform to help MSPs, resellers, and system integrators achieve predictable margins. The complete absence of egress fees and API call costs makes our pricing transparent. This allows partners to build defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service and archiving solutions. Our partner console offers multi-tenant management with robust RBAC and MFA. Automation via API/CLI and detailed reporting simplify operations and speed up onboarding. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber Plc in the UK expand local access for our partners. This makes it easier to build document storage applications. This channel focus translates into real economic benefits.
Achieve Predictable Economics and Clear SLAs
Many organizations feel locked into providers due to complex pricing and contracts. Our economic model is built on transparency and predictability, with zero egress or API fees. There are also no minimum storage durations, giving you complete flexibility. This approach ensures you can forecast costs accurately without surprises. We provide guaranteed service levels that serve as reliable inputs for your business planning. Regional proximity to our EU data centers ensures low latency for your critical applications. This clarity provides a solid foundation for your exit strategy. Learn more about the advantages of object storage. This freedom is central to our philosophy.
