Achieve Data Sovereignty with a Predictable Impossible Cloud Veeam Cloud Connect Provider
Are unpredictable costs and complex compliance rules undermining your Veeam backup strategy? Over 55% of EU firms delay projects due to hidden cloud fees, while new regulations demand higher security standards. A sovereign cloud provider offers a clear path forward.
The topic briefly and concisely
Impossible Cloud provides a sovereign, EU-based Veeam Cloud Connect solution that meets GDPR and NIS-2 requirements through geofencing and EU-only data centers.
The platform offers a predictable cost model with zero egress fees and no API call charges, enabling MSPs to build profitable BaaS and DRaaS offerings.
Features like S3 Object Lock for immutable backups and an 'Always-Hot' architecture provide robust ransomware protection and instant data recovery.
For Managed Service Providers and enterprise IT leaders, selecting a Veeam Cloud Connect provider is a critical decision. The choice impacts budget predictability, regulatory compliance, and ransomware resilience. With 56% of European companies overspending on cloud storage, the traditional model of complex fees is broken. Furthermore, regulations like NIS-2 and the EU Data Act require a new standard of security and data portability. This article outlines how choosing a European, S3-compatible object storage provider with a predictable cost model simplifies operations, strengthens data sovereignty, and delivers a reliable foundation for your Veeam backup and recovery services.
Meet the EU Mandate for Sovereign Veeam Backups
The demand for digital sovereignty is a strategic imperative, not a preference. A recent survey shows 84% of EU leaders consider end-to-end encryption a top priority, and 47% are actively working to reduce dependency on non-EU vendors. As a sovereign by design platform, Impossible Cloud ensures your Veeam backups reside exclusively in certified European data centers, eliminating CLOUD Act exposure. This provides the legal certainty needed for GDPR compliance and other EU regulations. Only 16% of tech leaders are optimistic about Europe achieving digital sovereignty in the next five years, highlighting the need for practical, ready-to-deploy solutions. Our country-level geofencing guarantees data stays within predefined regions, giving you full control. This focus on EU-centric governance is essential for the next stage of digital strategy.

FAQ
What is a sovereign cloud?
A sovereign cloud is a cloud computing infrastructure that stores and processes all data within a specific country's borders and under its national laws. For Impossible Cloud, this means all data is kept exclusively in certified European data centers, ensuring compliance with EU regulations like GDPR and protecting it from foreign laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act.
How does Impossible Cloud help with NIS-2 compliance?
Impossible Cloud supports NIS-2 compliance by providing a secure-by-design infrastructure with multi-layer encryption, robust IAM controls, and immutable storage to protect against cyber threats. As a European provider, we help secure the supply chain and ensure your backup data meets the high resilience and security standards mandated by the directive.
Can I migrate my existing Veeam backups to Impossible Cloud?
Yes, migrating existing Veeam backups is a straightforward process. Thanks to our full S3 compatibility, you can easily add Impossible Cloud as a new Scale-out Backup Repository extent and use Veeam's built-in functionality to move or offload your backup data without disruption.
What does 'Always-Hot' storage mean?
'Always-Hot' storage means all data is stored in a single, high-performance tier and is always immediately accessible. Unlike tiered models that move data to slower, cheaper archives, our approach eliminates restore delays and retrieval fees, ensuring your Veeam backups are always ready for instant recovery.
Do you offer a multi-tenant solution for MSPs?
Yes, our platform is designed for MSPs and features a powerful multi-tenant console. It includes role-based access control (RBAC), MFA, and detailed reporting, allowing you to securely manage multiple customers from a single interface. Automation via API and CLI is also fully supported.
What are the benefits of the EU Data Act for cloud storage users?
The EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, empowers users by making it easier to switch cloud providers and move their data. It promotes interoperability and will phase out data egress fees by 2027, ending vendor lock-in. Impossible Cloud's model is already aligned with these principles, offering a transparent, portable solution today.
