Achieve Digital Sovereignty with Enterprise Object Storage
Enterprises face growing pressure from complex regulations and unpredictable cloud costs. A sovereign enterprise object storage solution offers a practical path to compliance and economic clarity.
Key Takeawys
Achieve digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance with enterprise object storage operated exclusively in certified EU data centers, keeping data under EU law.
Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs through a transparent economic model with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations.
Protect against ransomware and ensure business continuity with immutable storage (Object Lock) and an 'Always-Hot' architecture for immediate data access.
In 2025, EU decision-makers demand European solutions for their critical data infrastructure. Many feel locked into existing providers by complex pricing, creating significant operational pain. True digital sovereignty requires performance parity, robust data security, and complete cost transparency. An enterprise-ready EU alternative reduces lock-in risk and addresses these challenges directly. This article outlines a checklist for selecting a compliant and efficient enterprise object storage platform. It focuses on S3 compatibility, resilient architecture, and governance features that meet EU regulations. We explore how to achieve control without sacrificing performance.
Establish Full Control with Sovereign-by-Design Architecture
A majority of EU leaders now prioritize European solutions for data infrastructure. Our enterprise object storage is operated exclusively in certified European data centers. This ensures your data remains under EU rules, avoiding CLOUD Act exposure completely. We provide country-level geofencing to guarantee data residency in predefined regions. This delivers true digital sovereignty, not just localized hosting. This approach aligns with the growing demand for provider origin transparency. It provides a clear path to reducing dependency on non-EU providers. You can find more on our enterprise cloud solutions. This foundation of control is critical for building a compliant data strategy.
Eliminate Hidden Costs with a Predictable Economic Model
Many companies feel trapped by complex cloud provider contracts and pricing. Our economic model offers complete transparency with zero egress fees or API call costs. There are also no minimum storage duration requirements, giving you flexibility. This model creates predictable margins, a key benefit for our MSP partners. A significant share of businesses now rank cost transparency as a top selection criterion. This approach directly addresses the financial pain points of vendor lock-in. Learn more about our cost-effective S3 storage. Predictable economics allow for better business planning and resource allocation.
Ensure Seamless Integration with Advanced S3 Compatibility
True enterprise-ready object storage requires more than basic API support. Our platform provides full S3-API compatibility, protecting your technology investments. Your existing applications, scripts, and tools continue working without code rewrites. We support advanced capabilities to ensure smooth operations.
Full support for object versioning to protect against accidental deletion.
Lifecycle management policies to automate data handling.
Event notifications for streamlined workflows.
Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools like NovaBackup.
This minimizes migration risk and protects past infrastructure investments. This deep compatibility is essential for maintaining business continuity. Explore our S3-API compatible storage. This focus on standards ensures your data remains portable and your tools remain effective.
Simplify Operations with an Always-Hot Storage Model
Complex storage tiering often creates hidden operational costs and restore delays. Our architecture utilizes an “Always-Hot” object storage model, ensuring all data is immediately accessible. This approach eliminates fragile tiering policies that can fail during urgent restores. It reduces operational complexity and avoids surprise restore fees or API timeouts. This model delivers strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for millions of files. It is ideal for mixed workloads, including analytics and archival patterns. Our cloud file solutions benefit from this design. This architectural choice directly enhances data availability and application stability.
Strengthen Security with Immutable Ransomware Protection
Ransomware remains a primary threat to enterprise data integrity. We provide robust, multi-layered security to defend your critical assets. This includes Immutable Storage using S3 Object Lock for ransomware defense. This feature creates audit-ready data retention policies that prevent unauthorized changes. Our security framework includes:
Multi-layer encryption for data in transit and at rest.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) with MFA and RBAC.
An architecture that eliminates single points of failure.
EU-controlled key management and revocation procedures.
Immutable backups provide a powerful defense against data corruption. You can read about our encrypted business storage. These measures are fundamental for building a resilient disaster recovery plan.
Achieve Regulatory Readiness for EU Data Act and NIS-2
Upcoming EU regulations create new compliance obligations for businesses. Our platform is designed for regulatory readiness, turning compliance into a competitive advantage. The EU Data Act, from September 2025, mandates data portability by design. We provide proven exit paths with no lock-in, ensuring you can move data, metadata, and versions freely. The NIS-2 directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance. Our operations have these principles baked in, not added as an afterthought. This proactive stance on compliance simplifies audits and reduces risk. Our disaster recovery solutions meet these standards. This focus on future regulations prepares your business for tomorrow's challenges.

FAQ
How does your enterprise object storage ensure GDPR compliance?
Our service ensures GDPR compliance by being 'sovereign by design.' All data is stored and processed exclusively in certified European data centers, managed by a European company. We offer country-level geofencing to guarantee data residency, ensuring your data is always subject to EU law and protected from foreign jurisdictions.
What does 'no egress fees' mean for my business?
No egress fees means you will never be charged for retrieving or moving your data out of our storage. This creates a transparent and predictable cost model, eliminating the surprise bills common with other providers. It gives you the freedom to access your data as needed and prevents financial lock-in.
Is your platform suitable for MSPs and channel partners?
Yes, our platform is 'partner-ready.' We offer a multi-tenant console with role-based access control (RBAC) and MFA, full automation via API/CLI, and clear reporting. Our predictable pricing model with zero egress or API fees allows partners to build services with stable, defensible margins.
How does Immutable Storage (Object Lock) protect against ransomware?
Immutable Storage with Object Lock allows you to make data unchangeable and undeletable for a specified period. If a ransomware attack occurs, your locked backup data remains safe and unaltered, ensuring you can restore a clean version of your files and maintain business continuity without paying a ransom.
What is an 'Always-Hot' storage model?
An 'Always-Hot' storage model means all your data is immediately accessible at all times, with no delays or extra fees for retrieval. Unlike tiered systems that move data to slower, cheaper 'cold' storage, our model simplifies operations, guarantees predictable performance, and ensures your applications and restore processes run without interruption.
How do you support compliance with the new EU Data Act?
We support the EU Data Act's principles of data portability and interoperability. Our platform is built on open standards like the S3 API, and we guarantee a clear exit path. You can export your data, including metadata and versions, at any time without technical or financial barriers, ensuring you maintain control and avoid vendor lock-in.
