Achieve Impossible Object Storage Cost Savings with a Sovereign Cloud Strategy
Cloud bills that punish you for using your own data are a significant budget challenge. Unpredictable egress and API fees create massive uncertainty, hindering growth for 9 out of 10 companies.
The topic briefly and concisely
Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs by choosing a provider with zero egress fees, zero API call charges, and no minimum storage durations.
Strengthen compliance with GDPR, NIS-2, and the EU Data Act by using a sovereign cloud that stores data exclusively in European data centers.
Reduce operational complexity and improve data access times with an "Always-Hot" storage architecture that makes 100% of data immediately available.
For too long, European enterprises and MSPs have faced a difficult choice in cloud storage. The dilemma involves accepting complex pricing with punitive fees or risking exposure to non-EU data laws like the CLOUD Act. Achieving true impossible object storage cost savings requires a new model. This model must be predictable by design and sovereign by default. A European-based, S3-compatible object storage platform eliminates these compromises entirely. It delivers financial predictability and regulatory peace of mind with a 100% EU-based infrastructure.
Deconstruct Hidden Cloud Fees to Reclaim Your Budget
Many cloud providers impose egress fees that can inflate data transfer costs by over 8000% compared to actual transit prices. These charges apply any time you move data outside the provider's network, creating a significant financial barrier. This practice effectively locks customers into a single ecosystem, making multi-cloud strategies prohibitively expensive for 70% of users. Eliminating these fees is the first step to real savings. You can find more details in our guide to object storage cost savings. This financial friction is not just a line item; it is a strategic obstacle.
Implement a Predictable-by-Design Financial Model
A transparent pricing model offers a clear path to sustainable impossible object storage cost savings. Our platform guarantees zero egress fees and zero API call charges. It also removes minimum storage duration requirements, which affect over 60% of archived data. This approach ensures your bill reflects only the storage you use. For MSPs, this predictability translates directly into stable, defensible margins for Backup-as-a-Service offerings. Enterprises gain a predictable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), simplifying budget forecasting by at least 40%. Learn more about our transparent pricing model.
Our commitment to cost transparency includes:
Zero charges for data egress or retrieval.
Zero fees for API requests (GET, PUT, LIST).
No minimum storage duration penalties.
No complex tiering with hidden restore fees.
One simple, all-inclusive price for storage.
This straightforward economic model removes the financial penalties for accessing your own data.
Strengthen Ransomware Defense Without Extra Premiums
Ransomware attacks continue to threaten over 85% of European businesses annually. Immutable storage with S3 Object Lock is a critical defense, making your backup data unchangeable for a set period. We include this enterprise-grade feature at no extra cost. This built-in protection can reduce potential data recovery costs by more than 90%. Unlike other providers that charge a premium, our approach integrates security as a core component. Explore our easy saving solutions. This strategy provides financial savings and strengthens your overall security posture simultaneously.
Align with EU Regulations to Reduce Compliance Costs
Operating exclusively within certified European data centers dramatically simplifies regulatory adherence. Storing data locally helps meet GDPR data residency rules, avoiding potential fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover. Our sovereign-by-design platform also helps you prepare for upcoming regulations. This EU-centric model can lower compliance-related overhead by 30%. A European provider simplifies supply-chain assurance, a key requirement of the NIS-2 directive. See our S3 cost comparison for more details.
Our platform is built to address key EU regulations:
GDPR: Ensures data is stored and processed under strict EU privacy laws, simplifying compliance.
EU Data Act: From September 2025, our model supports data portability by design, preventing lock-in.
NIS-2 Directive: We provide a secure supply chain partner for entities needing enhanced cybersecurity measures.
This focus on EU-specific rules provides legal certainty and avoids CLOUD Act exposure.
Leverage an Always-Hot Architecture for Operational Savings
Complex storage tiering often introduces unexpected operational costs and delays. An "Always-Hot" object storage model ensures 100% of your data is immediately accessible. This eliminates restore delays and fees that can impact recovery time objectives by hours. This simplified model reduces operational complexity by up to 50%. It also prevents API timeouts and lifecycle policy drift that plague tiered systems. Your third-party backup and archive tools remain stable and performant. Read how to minimize object storage costs. This architectural choice directly supports more efficient and reliable data operations.
Drive Partner Profitability with a Channel-First Platform
Our platform is engineered to help MSPs and resellers build profitable services with predictable margins. The zero-egress model is a key differentiator, allowing partners to price services competitively. The multi-tenant partner console provides robust tools for management and reporting. Partners report onboarding new customers 40% faster than with other platforms. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK expand local access for hundreds of resellers. Check our storage price comparison. This momentum provides our partners with a growing ecosystem of support.
