Modernize Veritas Storage in the UK With a Sovereign, Predictable Cloud
UK enterprises using Veritas face growing pressure from unpredictable storage costs and complex data sovereignty rules. A different approach is needed—one that guarantees cost control and compliance without sacrificing performance.
Key Takeaways
Achieve digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance for your Veritas storage in the UK by using an EU-only cloud provider with country-level geofencing.
Eliminate unpredictable cloud bills with a transparent pricing model that includes zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations.
Protect your Veritas backups from ransomware with immutable storage using S3 Object Lock, ensuring your data is unchangeable and always recoverable.
For IT leaders in the United Kingdom, managing Veritas backup data presents a dual challenge: controlling spiraling costs and ensuring strict regulatory compliance. Traditional storage solutions often involve opaque pricing models with punitive egress fees, while reliance on non-EU providers creates exposure to foreign jurisdictions like the CLOUD Act. Impossible Cloud offers a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative. Our platform provides GDPR-compliant, S3-compatible object storage operated exclusively in European data centers, giving you a sovereign solution for your Veritas storage in the UK. With a transparent model featuring zero egress or API fees, you can achieve predictable costs and robust ransomware protection.
Rethink Your Veritas Storage Strategy for UK Sovereignty
A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical infrastructure, making EU data residency a key criterion. For UK businesses, using non-EU cloud providers for Veritas backups introduces significant risks related to the CLOUD Act and other foreign laws. Storing data within a strictly EU-governed framework eliminates this exposure, ensuring your backups remain under EU rules. This sovereign-by-design approach is no longer optional for regulated industries.
This shift towards digital sovereignty is driven by the need for legal certainty and control over critical data assets. Choosing a European provider with country-level geofencing guarantees your Veritas data stays in predefined regions, aligning with both UK and EU GDPR requirements. This strategic decision mitigates compliance risks and builds trust with your customers, who increasingly prioritize data privacy. The focus now turns to finding a solution that delivers this sovereignty without compromising on performance or cost-effectiveness.
Achieve Predictable Costs With S3-Compatible Storage
Many companies feel locked into their cloud providers due to complex pricing, where egress fees can account for up to 15% of the total bill. Impossible Cloud eliminates this problem with a transparent economic model: zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This makes your budget for enterprise object storage completely predictable, a significant advantage for backup and recovery operations that involve frequent data movement.
Our platform's architecture is built for consistency and immediate access, a model we call “Always-Hot” object storage. Unlike complex tiering policies that can cause restore delays and API timeouts, all data is instantly accessible. This approach reduces operational complexity by at least 25% for many teams. Full S3-API compatibility ensures your existing Veritas workflows, scripts, and tools continue to operate without any changes. This seamless integration protects your past investments and minimizes migration risk, providing a clear path to modernizing your backup infrastructure.
Strengthen Ransomware Defense for Veritas Backups
Ransomware remains a top threat, making immutable backups a critical component of any modern data protection strategy. Impossible Cloud provides robust ransomware protection for Veritas environments through S3 Object Lock, creating an unchangeable copy of your backup data. This feature ensures that even if your primary systems are compromised, your backups remain secure and recoverable for a defined retention period.
Our solution is ideal for several key use cases that enhance your data resilience. The following capabilities are integrated out-of-the-box:
Backup & Disaster Recovery: Secure off-site storage for all Veritas data, ensuring business continuity with 100% data availability.
Immutable Archiving: Meet long-term retention policies for compliance with audit-ready, unalterable archives.
Tape-to-Cloud Migration: Modernize legacy tape archives with a cost-effective, instantly accessible cloud backup solution.
Ransomware Protection: Utilize Object Lock to make your backup data impervious to deletion or encryption by malicious actors.
By integrating these features, you create a multi-layered defense that directly addresses today's most pressing cyber threats.
Leverage an Architecture Built for UK Enterprise Needs
An enterprise-ready storage solution must go beyond basic S3 compatibility. Our platform supports advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications across the API, CLI, and SDK. This ensures your data management pipelines run without code rewrites, protecting your investment in existing tools and minimizing migration risk by over 50%.
Security and governance are managed through a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. It offers the following controls:
Granular, Role-Driven Policies: Assign permissions based on user roles with secure defaults from day one.
External IdP Support: Integrate with your existing identity providers via SAML/OIDC for streamlined user management.
Time-Bounded Access: Grant temporary access to resources using presigned URLs for enhanced security.
Multi-Layer Encryption: All data is protected with verified encryption both in transit and at rest, with keys managed under strict EU control.
This architecture provides the consistency and availability needed for mixed workloads, from millions of small files to large archival patterns. Our Veritas-certified solution is engineered to eliminate single points of failure, ensuring your data is always protected and accessible.

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and resellers, profitability depends on predictable costs. Our partner-centric model is designed for the channel, offering stable margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. The absence of egress and API fees means the price you quote is the price you get, eliminating the risk of surprise charges that erode your profits by up to 15%.
We are expanding our UK presence to better serve our partners. With our first UK distributor, Northamber plc, local resellers and MSPs now have direct access to our sovereign storage solutions and expert support. Our partner console simplifies operations with multi-tenant management, role-based access control (RBAC), and MFA. Automation via API and CLI allows for seamless integration into existing service delivery platforms. This focus on the channel makes it easier than ever for UK partners to deliver high-value, compliant storage solutions to their clients.
Stay Ahead of 2025 EU Regulations Like NIS-2 and the Data Act
For UK companies doing business in the EU, upcoming regulations will reshape data governance. The EU Data Act, with most rules applying from September 12, 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our platform is built on open standards, ensuring you can prove a real exit path with exportable formats for all data, including metadata and versions.
The NIS-2 Directive also introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements for critical sectors, demanding continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance. Our operational model incorporates these principles by design, with features like vulnerability management and immutable storage baked in. This regulatory readiness provides a competitive advantage, turning compliance from a burden into a business enabler. By aligning your disaster recovery strategy with a compliant storage provider, you prepare your organization for the next wave of data regulation, ensuring you meet every requirement from day one.
