Secure Predict predictable Margins as an Impossible Cloud MSP Object Storage Partner
Are unpredictable cloud costs and complex compliance rules eroding your MSP margins? A partnership designed for digital sovereignty and cost predictability offers a clear path to profitable, resilient services. Discover a partner program built to eliminate fee surprises and simplify GDPR adherence.
The topic briefly and concisely
Partnering with Impossible Cloud allows MSPs to offer EU-sovereign object storage, meeting client demands for GDPR compliance and CLOUD Act avoidance.
The zero egress and API fee model provides predictable costs, enabling MSPs to secure stable, defensible margins on backup and archiving services.
Built-in features like S3 Object Lock and an 'Always-Hot' architecture provide robust ransomware protection and fast data recovery without hidden fees.
For Managed Service Providers, the cloud represents both the biggest opportunity and the greatest challenge. Client demands for data security and sovereignty are intensifying, while hyperscaler pricing models with hidden egress and API fees make it difficult to maintain predictable margins. An Impossible Cloud MSP object storage partner program addresses these challenges directly. It provides a foundation of European data sovereignty, transparent pricing, and enterprise-grade resilience, enabling MSPs to deliver high-value Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery solutions with confidence and clarity.
Build on a Foundation of European Data Sovereignty
A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for their critical infrastructure. As an Impossible Cloud MSP object storage partner, you meet this demand by design. All data resides exclusively in certified European data centers, ensuring strict GDPR compliance.
This architecture provides clients with country-level geofencing, keeping their data within predefined EU regions. This eliminates exposure to foreign regulations like the US CLOUD Act, a key concern for 50% of German companies. You can offer clients true data sovereignty under EU law.
Navigating cross-border data transfer rules is a major compliance burden for international firms. By storing data strictly within the EU, you simplify this entire process for your clients. This strengthens your value proposition, especially for regulated industries like finance and healthcare, which require robust data governance.
