The topic briefly and concisely
UK channel partners can gain a competitive edge by offering sovereign, EU-based object storage that guarantees GDPR compliance and avoids CLOUD Act exposure.

For the UK channel partner, storage is more than just a service; it's a commitment to client data security and a cornerstone of business profitability. Yet, many partners are squeezed by complex pricing and pressing sovereignty demands. This post outlines a strategic path forward, focusing on a European cloud storage solution that delivers predictable margins, full S3 compatibility, and verifiable GDPR compliance. We will explore how partners can leverage these benefits, strengthened by our UK distribution network, to build more resilient and profitable service offerings for 2025.
