Secure Channel Partner Cloud Storage in London: Drive Growth with Sovereign, Predictable Solutions
UK channel partners face a dual challenge: delivering robust data security while protecting their margins from unpredictable cloud costs. A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data, creating a clear market opportunity. This article details how to build a profitable and compliant secure cloud storage service for the London market.
The topic briefly and concisely
UK channel partners can meet growing demands for data sovereignty by using a 100% European cloud provider, eliminating exposure to the US CLOUD Act.
A 'no egress fee' pricing model is critical for MSPs to build predictable, high-margin revenue streams for Backup-as-a-Service and archiving.
S3 Object Lock is an essential defence against ransomware, ensuring backups are immutable and enabling reliable data recovery.
For Managed Service Providers and channel partners in London, the demand for secure, compliant, and cost-effective cloud storage has never been higher. Clients require absolute certainty around data sovereignty, especially concerning EU data, and robust protection against ransomware, which now targets backups in over 96% of incidents. Yet, traditional cloud models often erode partner margins with unpredictable egress fees and API call charges, creating significant business risk. Impossible Cloud offers a partner-centric alternative: a sovereign-by-design, S3-compatible object storage platform, operated exclusively from European data centres. This model provides the technical excellence clients demand and the economic predictability partners need to thrive.
Meet Data Sovereignty Demands in the UK Market
Post-Brexit, UK businesses handling EU residents' data must still comply with the EU's GDPR, making data residency a primary concern. Storing data with providers subject to the US CLOUD Act creates a legal conflict, as it allows US authorities to access data regardless of its physical location in Europe. Impossible Cloud eliminates this risk entirely by operating exclusively in certified European data centres under EU law. This provides UK partners with a clear competitive advantage for clients in finance and healthcare. Our country-level geofencing guarantees data stays within predefined regions, offering the legal certainty that over 70% of EU enterprises now require. This focus on digital sovereignty is how partners can build trust and win new business. Explore our secure backup targets for MSPs.
