Protect against ransomware and simplify operations with an 'Always-Hot,' S3-compatible architecture featuring immutable Object Lock.
Most companies feel locked into their cloud providers, facing complex contracts and surprise fees that impact revenue. The demand for digital sovereignty is clear, with over 84% of EU leaders prioritizing solutions that keep their data under European legal control. This article outlines a practical, enterprise-ready alternative: a cost-efficient European object storage platform. It delivers performance parity and robust security, all while ensuring your data remains geofenced within the EU. We will explore how transparent pricing and full S3 compatibility can reduce lock-in risk and protect your investments.
Secure EU Data Residency and Digital Sovereignty
A strong majority of EU decision-makers now prioritize European solutions for their critical infrastructure. Over 47% cite reducing dependency on non-EU vendors as a strategic imperative for 2025. This shift is driven by the need for EU legal certainty and complete avoidance of CLOUD Act exposure. Our S3-compatible object storage operates exclusively in certified European data centers.
We provide country-level geofencing to guarantee data remains in predefined regions under strict EU rules. For financial services, this ensures regulatory alignment for sensitive data workloads. This sovereignty-by-design approach meets the 36.8% of leaders who prioritize EU data hosting. This focus on localization provides a clear path to compliance and control.
Eliminate Unpredictable Costs with a Transparent Model
Nearly 94% of IT leaders face significant challenges in optimizing their cloud costs. Many feel locked into providers due to complex pricing, where hidden egress and API call fees cause unexpected budget fluctuations. Our cost-efficient European object storage offers a transparent economic model with zero egress fees and no API call costs. This approach directly addresses the 44% of organizations with limited visibility into their cloud spending.
The model also features no minimum storage duration, offering maximum flexibility for dynamic workloads. This predictability is a key driver for switching providers, enabling stable margins for MSPs and enterprise IT. You can find more details on our transparent pricing page. This clear economic framework removes the financial barriers that create vendor lock-in.
Gain Enterprise-Grade Performance with an Always-Hot Architecture
Complex data tiering often leads to restore delays, API timeouts, and hidden operational costs. Our platform utilizes an 'Always-Hot' object storage model, ensuring all data is immediately accessible with no tier-restore delays. This architecture delivers strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for millions of files. It simplifies operations for backup, analytics, and archival workloads, a significant advantage over tiered models that can reduce storage costs by over 50% but introduce complexity.
Full S3-API compatibility ensures your existing applications, scripts, and tools continue to work without code rewrites. This protects past investments and minimizes migration risk by at least 25%. Key features include:
Support for advanced S3 capabilities like versioning and lifecycle management.
Multi-AZ replication that eliminates single points of failure.
Consistent performance for both small objects and large data sets.
Out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools like NovaBackup.
This robust design ensures your data infrastructure remains resilient and highly available.
Strengthen Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage
With ransomware attacks projected to cost victims trillions annually by 2025, robust data protection is non-negotiable. Our platform includes Immutable Storage using Object Lock, a critical defense against ransomware. This feature ensures that, once written, your backup data cannot be altered or deleted for a specified retention period. This WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) technology makes your backups watertight from a ransomware perspective.
This is a core component of a modern 3-2-1 backup strategy for at least 75% of organizations. We also provide multi-layer encryption for data in transit and at rest. Identity and Access Management (IAM) with MFA and role-based access control (RBAC) adds another layer of security. This comprehensive security posture ensures your data is protected against evolving threats.
Achieve Regulatory Readiness for the EU Data Act and NIS-2
Upcoming EU regulations demand a proactive approach to compliance. The EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our platform is designed for this, ensuring you can export data, metadata, and versions. This gives you a real exit path and preserves your long-term freedom of action.
The NIS-2 Directive requires continuous security processes, including supply-chain assurance and vulnerability management. Our operational framework bakes in these requirements:
Continuous security monitoring and patch management.
Documented incident reporting timelines aligned with NIS-2.
Verified encryption with EU-controlled key management.
Strict governance within certified EU data centers.
This built-in compliance offers a competitive advantage for regulated workloads. Our focus on European object storage prepares you for tomorrow's rules.
Accelerate Channel Growth with a Partner-Ready Platform
We built our platform to enable Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers, and system integrators. The predictable pricing model with zero egress or API fees allows for stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. This is a critical factor for the 60% of partners who prioritize financial predictability. A multi-tenant partner console simplifies management with RBAC and MFA.
Onboarding is fast, and automation is available via a comprehensive API and CLI. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expand local access for our partners. This growing ecosystem provides the tools and support needed to deliver sovereign cloud solutions to customers across Europe.
