Streamline Partner Onboarding for UK Storage with Predictable Margins
UK partners face a dual challenge: delivering GDPR-compliant storage while protecting margins from unpredictable fees. A new approach to partner onboarding for storage in the UK eliminates this conflict, combining sovereign infrastructure with a partner-first economic model.
Key Takeaways
Achieve predictable margins with a zero-egress-fee storage model designed for UK channel partners.
Streamline your partner onboarding for storage in the UK with local access through the new Northamber plc distribution agreement.
Deliver 100% GDPR-compliant and sovereign storage solutions to protect your clients from CLOUD Act exposure.
For UK MSPs and resellers, providing cloud backup and storage services is a significant growth area, with market demand increasing over 15% annually. Yet, partnering with hyperscalers often introduces unpredictable costs and compliance headaches related to the CLOUD Act. The ideal partner onboarding for storage in the UK should be fast, simple, and profitable. It must provide a foundation of digital sovereignty and cost predictability, enabling partners to build valuable, high-margin services. Through new UK distribution channels, accessing this model is now simpler than ever, offering a direct path to growth.
Escape Unpredictable Costs and Compliance Risks
Many UK channel partners see margins shrink by up to 30% due to hidden egress and API call fees from major cloud providers. This volatility makes it difficult to price backup-as-a-service (BaaS) offerings competitively. Furthermore, ensuring client data remains under EU/UK GDPR control is a challenge with non-EU providers. A significant majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for this reason. This creates a clear need for a partner-centric storage model built on financial transparency and data sovereignty. Addressing these two issues is the first step to building a better partnership.

Impossible Cloud offers a platform that is sovereign by design, operating exclusively in certified European data centres. This provides a 100% GDPR-compliant solution, free from CLOUD Act exposure. Our model features zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This transparent approach gives partners predictable, defensible margins for every client. With full S3-API compatibility, existing tools and scripts work without modification, reducing migration friction by over 90%.
