Deliver Scalable MSP Multi-Tenant S3 Compatible Object Storage in a Sovereign European Cloud
For Managed Service Providers, managing client data across multiple platforms creates unpredictable costs and significant compliance risks. A truly scalable MSP multi-tenant S3 compatible object storage solution must deliver financial predictability and digital sovereignty.
The topic briefly and concisely
A scalable MSP multi-tenant S3 compatible object storage solution must offer predictable margins by eliminating hidden egress and API fees.
Digital sovereignty through EU-only data centers is critical for GDPR compliance and avoiding CLOUD Act exposure, a key differentiator for MSPs.
Features like Immutable Object Lock, a partner-ready multi-tenant console, and full S3 compatibility are essential for security, efficiency, and scalability.
A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data infrastructure, yet many MSPs feel locked into complex pricing models from non-EU providers. The operational burden of managing multiple tenants is compounded by hidden egress fees and API call costs, eroding margins by up to 30%. Impossible Cloud offers a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative. Our platform provides a scalable MSP multi-tenant S3 compatible object storage solution that is sovereign by design, eliminating unpredictable costs and simplifying GDPR compliance for partners.
Shift to Sovereign Storage to Stabilize MSP Margins
MSPs face a dual challenge: delivering scalable services while protecting margins from volatile cloud costs, which can account for 6% of total spend. Traditional hyperscaler models often include unpredictable egress and API fees, making it difficult to forecast profitability for backup-as-a-service (BaaS) and archiving. A strong majority of EU businesses now prioritize EU data residency, creating a clear market opportunity. A sovereign cloud model eliminates these economic uncertainties entirely. By choosing a European cloud provider, MSPs gain a competitive edge. This approach directly addresses the 56% of IT professionals who find egress fees excessive. A purpose-built, scalable MSP multi-tenant S3 compatible object storage platform provides the foundation for growth.

FAQ
Is your object storage fully S3 compatible?
Yes. Our platform offers full S3 API compatibility, which means your existing applications, scripts, and tools will continue to work without any code rewrites. This includes advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and Object Lock.
How do you ensure data sovereignty and GDPR compliance?
We operate exclusively in certified European data centers and offer country-level geofencing. This ensures your data stays within the EU, under EU law, making it fully GDPR-compliant and protecting it from foreign regulations like the CLOUD Act.
What makes your pricing model predictable for MSPs?
Our pricing is transparent and predictable because we have eliminated all hidden fees. We charge zero for egress, zero for API calls, and have no minimum storage durations. This allows MSPs to build services with stable, predictable margins.
Can I manage multiple clients from one account?
Absolutely. Our solution is designed for MSPs and features a powerful multi-tenant console. You can manage all your clients, set granular permissions with IAM and RBAC, and automate tasks via API/CLI from a single, centralized platform.
How does your 'Always-Hot' storage model work?
Our 'Always-Hot' object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible without any tier-restore delays or fees. This simplifies operations, guarantees predictable performance for restores, and keeps third-party tools stable, unlike complex and fragile tiering systems.
What integrations do you support for backup?
Thanks to our full S3 API compatibility, we offer out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup software vendors, including a special collaboration with NovaBackup. This makes it easy to designate our storage as a secure, immutable backup target.
