Future-Proof Your PC Backups with a Sovereign Cloud Solution
Enterprises face constant pressure from unpredictable cloud costs and complex EU data regulations. A sovereign cloud approach offers a clear path to secure and compliant PC backup solutions.
The topic briefly and concisely
Achieve digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance with EU-only data centers that eliminate CLOUD Act exposure.
Eliminate unpredictable expenses with a transparent pricing model that has zero egress fees, API call costs, or minimum storage durations.
Protect against ransomware using immutable backups with S3 Object Lock, ensuring a clean recovery copy is always available.
Most EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their critical data infrastructure. This shift is driven by the need for GDPR compliance, cost transparency, and robust data security. Traditional PC backup solutions often create vendor lock-in through complex fees and expose data to foreign laws. Impossible Cloud provides an enterprise-ready EU alternative, built on S3 compatibility and a predictable cost model. This approach directly addresses the primary challenges of digital sovereignty and operational resilience for modern IT leaders.
Achieve Full Digital Sovereignty for PC Backups
European businesses require absolute certainty about their data's legal jurisdiction. Storing backup data within certified EU data centers is the only way to ensure GDPR compliance. Our platform offers country-level geofencing to meet strict data residency requirements. This design eliminates exposure to the CLOUD Act completely. Adhering to these regulations avoids fines of up to 4% of global annual revenue. This strategy builds significant trust with customers who value data privacy. A sovereign approach prepares your business for the future of EU data governance.
Eliminate Bill Shock with a Predictable Cost Model
Unexpected cloud expenses disrupt IT budgets for over 60% of organizations. The primary cause is often hidden egress fees and API call charges. We built our pricing model to be predictable by design. This means absolutely no egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This transparency allows for precise financial planning and forecasting. A recent survey showed 56% of IT professionals find egress fees excessive and a barrier to switching providers. Our approach removes these obstacles, offering a clear path to cost-effective cloud backup.
Build a Resilient Defense Against Ransomware
Ransomware attacks increased by 95% in 2023, making resilient backups essential. Our solution includes Immutable Storage using S3 Object Lock as a core feature. This technology creates a write-once-read-many (WORM) state for your backup files. It makes them impossible to alter or delete for a defined period. Only 57% of businesses recover their data after an attack, even after paying. Immutable backups provide a clean, uncompromised copy for a swift disaster recovery scenario. This capability is a fundamental part of a modern ransomware protection strategy.
Maintain Operational Continuity with Full S3 Compatibility
Migrating to a new cloud platform should not require rewriting applications. Our service offers 100% S3 API compatibility to protect your existing investments. This ensures your current backup tools, scripts, and applications continue to work without modification. We support advanced S3 capabilities, including:
Versioning and lifecycle management
Event notifications and object tagging
Granular IAM policies with MFA/RBAC
Seamless integration with tools like Veeam
Our “Always-Hot” architecture ensures all data is immediately accessible without restore delays. This model avoids the complexity and hidden costs of tiered storage, which often leads to API timeouts. This seamless integration simplifies the transition to a more secure and sovereign backup environment.
Meet 2025 EU Regulations Like NIS-2 and the Data Act
The EU regulatory landscape is evolving with two key directives. The NIS-2 Directive, effective from October 2024, mandates robust cybersecurity measures, including secure backups and supply-chain assurance. Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to €10 million for essential entities. The EU Data Act, applicable from September 2025, strengthens data portability and interoperability. It requires cloud providers to remove barriers to switching, preventing vendor lock-in. Our platform is sovereign by design, aligning with these new rules for compliant cloud solutions. This proactive stance gives your business a competitive advantage.
