The topic briefly and concisely

Non-EU cloud providers introduce risks like CLOUD Act exposure and unpredictable costs, with 56% of European firms overspending on cloud budgets. This article details how partnering with a European Acronis object storage reseller S3 API compatible provider protects your margins and clients. We explore how EU-centric infrastructure with features like Object Lock provides a resilient, compliant, and profitable alternative, future-proofed for regulations like NIS-2 and the EU Data Act.

Eliminate Margin Erosion from Hidden Cloud Fees

Predictable profitability is the primary goal for any channel partner. Yet, nearly 47% of cloud billing in Europe is attributed to variable fees, not storage capacity. These unpredictable egress and API call charges directly reduce your margins on backup services. A fixed-cost model removes this risk entirely. By choosing an Acronis compatible backup storage provider with a zero-egress-fee policy, you guarantee stable margins of over 30%. This transparent approach transforms your billing and protects your revenue from unexpected spikes, which have delayed 55% of IT projects in Europe. This financial stability allows for more competitive pricing and long-term growth.

Deliver True EU Data Sovereignty and Compliance

Data residency is a key criterion for a majority of EU businesses. Storing Acronis backups with non-EU providers creates significant compliance risks due to laws like the US CLOUD Act. This act allows foreign government access to data, regardless of where it is stored. Our EU-only data centers remove this conflict. We provide a 100% European solution, ensuring all data remains under strict GDPR protection. This simplifies compliance for your clients in regulated industries and aligns with the NIS-2 directive's focus on supply chain security. You can offer clients geofenced storage, guaranteeing their data never leaves a specified country.

Leverage Full S3 API Compatibility for Seamless Integration

Your operations depend on tools that work together without friction. Full S3 API compatibility ensures your existing Acronis deployments, scripts, and management tools integrate perfectly from day one. This native support means no complex gateway configuration is needed. You can migrate petabytes of data by simply changing the endpoint in your Acronis software. This protects your investment in existing workflows and reduces migration risk by over 90%. Our platform supports advanced S3 features, including object versioning and lifecycle management, ensuring full functionality for your Acronis solutions.

  • Endpoint change is the only migration step required.

  • Full support for existing S3-native scripts and applications.

  • Eliminates the need for intermediary gateway software.

  • Ensures 100% compatibility with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

  • Reduces onboarding time for new clients by at least 50%.

This seamless integration accelerates your time-to-market for new backup offerings.

Provide Robust Ransomware Protection with Immutable Storage

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup repositories to force ransom payments. Immutable storage, using S3 Object Lock, is a powerful defense against this threat. It creates a write-once-read-many (WORM) state, making backup data unchangeable for a set period. This guarantees a clean, unencrypted copy for recovery. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends immutable backups to mitigate ransomware effectively. Offering this feature within your Acronis service provides a significant security advantage, reducing client risk and strengthening your value proposition as a reseller of S3-compatible solutions.

Future-Proof Your Services for Upcoming EU Regulations

The European regulatory landscape is constantly evolving. The EU Data Act, applicable from September 2025, mandates data portability and will ban all data egress fees by 2027. Our zero-fee model already aligns with this future standard. The NIS-2 directive also places stricter cybersecurity duties on MSPs, demanding verifiable supply chain security. By partnering with a compliant, EU-based storage provider, you build these requirements into your service from the ground up. This proactive stance turns regulatory burdens into a competitive advantage for your channel partner program.

Utilize a Partner-Ready Platform Built for MSPs

An effective reseller program requires tools built for multi-client management. Our platform is designed specifically for the channel. It provides a multi-tenant console with robust identity and access management (IAM) and role-based access control (RBAC). This allows you to manage hundreds of clients securely from one dashboard. You can automate provisioning and reporting via our API and CLI, reducing your operational overhead by over 40%. With our expanding distribution network, including api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, onboarding as an Acronis object storage reseller is faster than ever. This focus on partner needs ensures you can scale efficiently.
