FAQ
How does Impossible Cloud ensure GDPR compliance for UK clients?
Impossible Cloud ensures GDPR compliance by storing all data exclusively within certified European data centers. We offer country-level geofencing to keep data within specific EU regions, adhering to strict data residency requirements and protecting it under EU privacy laws, which align with the UK GDPR framework.
What makes the Impossible Cloud pricing model predictable for resellers?
Our pricing model is predictable because it is simple and transparent. We charge only for the storage capacity used, with no egress fees for data transfer, no costs for API calls, and no minimum storage duration requirements. This eliminates the hidden charges that cause budget overruns with other cloud providers.
Can I manage multiple clients through a single account?
Yes, our platform is designed for channel partners. The partner console provides full multi-tenant management, allowing you to create, monitor, and manage separate storage environments for each of your clients from a single dashboard, with granular permissions and role-based access control.
What is the 'Always-Hot' storage model?
Our 'Always-Hot' storage model means all data is immediately accessible at all times, without any delays or extra fees for retrieval. Unlike tiered storage models that move data to 'cold' or 'archive' layers, our approach ensures fast, predictable restores, which is critical during a disaster recovery scenario.
How do I migrate existing client backups to Impossible Cloud?
Migration is straightforward due to our full S3 API compatibility. You can use any S3-compatible data migration tool or simply update the endpoint in your existing backup software to point to our service. Our team can provide guidance to ensure a smooth transition.
