Key Takeawys
Impossible Cloud offers GDPR-compliant, free object storage in Europe with guaranteed data residency in certified EU data centers to ensure digital sovereignty.

For European businesses, navigating the cloud storage market presents a dual challenge: managing escalating costs and ensuring strict regulatory compliance. Many decision-makers now demand European solutions to guarantee data sovereignty and avoid CLOUD Act exposure. Impossible Cloud offers a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative. Our S3-compatible object storage, hosted exclusively in certified European data centers, provides a sovereign-by-design platform with the performance parity and cost transparency the market requires. This approach directly addresses the 4% of global annual revenue fines associated with GDPR non-compliance.
Secure EU Data Residency without Compromise
A majority of EU leaders now prioritize European solutions for critical data infrastructure. Storing data within the EU is not just a preference; it's a core compliance requirement under GDPR. Our platform guarantees that 100% of your data resides in certified European data centers. We enforce country-level geofencing to meet the strictest data sovereignty mandates. This eliminates any exposure to foreign government data requests under legislation like the CLOUD Act. Choosing a European cloud provider is a strategic investment in trust and security. This ensures your data is governed exclusively by EU law, a critical factor for regulated industries. This strategy prepares your organization for the future of EU data governance.
Eliminate Unpredictable Costs with a Transparent Model
Many businesses feel locked into providers due to complex pricing and high data transfer fees. Egress fees can increase cloud bills by thousands each month, creating a significant barrier to switching providers. We offer a predictable economic model with zero egress fees and no charges for API calls. There are also no minimum storage duration requirements, giving you complete financial control. This transparent pricing ensures predictable margins for our MSP partners. Our approach is designed to prevent the vendor lock-in that affects over 70% of cloud users. This financial predictability allows for better long-term business planning and resource allocation.

Leverage Full S3 Compatibility for Seamless Integration
Migrating storage can be a complex project, often requiring significant code rewrites. Our S3-compatible object storage ensures your existing tools and applications work without modification. We support 100% of the S3 API, including advanced features like versioning and lifecycle management. This protects your past investments in scripts, applications, and operational workflows. Seamless integration with leading backup tools is available out-of-the-box. For developers, this means changing just one line of code to connect to our platform. This compatibility minimizes migration risk and accelerates your transition to a sovereign cloud environment.
Build a Resilient Defense Against Ransomware
Ransomware attacks continue to grow in sophistication, targeting backup files to prevent recovery. An effective defense requires more than just backups; it demands immutable storage. Our platform includes Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock as a standard feature. This WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology makes your data unchangeable for a specified period. Immutable backups provide a watertight defense against ransomware encryption. In the event of an attack, you can restore a clean, uninfected version of your data with 100% integrity. This capability is a cornerstone of modern disaster recovery and business continuity strategies.
Prepare for Upcoming EU Data Regulations
The European regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, demanding proactive compliance. Two key regulations are shaping the future of data management for every business in the region.
Meet EU Data Act Requirements from Day One
The EU Data Act, fully applicable from September 12, 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability. It is designed to prevent vendor lock-in by ensuring users can easily switch cloud providers. Our platform is built on open standards, allowing for seamless data export, including all metadata and versions. This aligns perfectly with the Act's goal of giving you a real exit path. We provide the tools to prove data portability, a key competitive advantage. This readiness ensures you avoid penalties and maintain long-term freedom of action.
Align with the NIS-2 Directive for Enhanced Security
The NIS-2 Directive requires organizations in critical sectors to adopt stricter cybersecurity measures by October 2024. It mandates continuous security processes, supply-chain assurance, and robust incident reporting. Our architecture incorporates these principles by design, not as an afterthought. We provide multi-layer encryption, IAM with MFA, and an infrastructure with no single point of failure. This helps you meet your obligations under NIS-2 without adding operational complexity. Our cost-efficient S3 storage simplifies compliance.
