Secure Predictable Channel Margins With Sovereign Veeam Cloud Storage
Unpredictable cloud storage costs and complex EU compliance rules are squeezing MSP margins. A sovereign, EU-based Veeam cloud storage solution with a zero-egress fee model offers a clear path to profitability and client trust.
The topic briefly and concisely
Build a profitable Veeam distributor channel with a predictable, zero-egress-fee pricing model that guarantees stable margins.
Ensure client compliance with GDPR and the upcoming EU Data Act by using a sovereign cloud storage provider operating exclusively in European data centers.
Deliver superior ransomware protection and instant data availability with S3 Object Lock and an 'Always-Hot' storage architecture.
For Managed Service Providers and distributors in the Veeam channel, delivering reliable backup services is non-negotiable. Yet, many face shrinking margins due to hidden egress and API call fees from hyperscale providers. Simultaneously, clients demand stronger data sovereignty to comply with GDPR and avoid CLOUD Act exposure. This creates a dual challenge: protecting client data while ensuring financial predictability. The solution lies in a Veeam distributor channel cloud storage strategy built on a sovereign European foundation, offering a transparent economic model that benefits both partners and end-users. This approach transforms regulatory burdens into a competitive advantage.
Build a Resilient Veeam Channel on a Sovereign Foundation
A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data infrastructure. For the Veeam distributor channel, this shift makes data sovereignty a primary value proposition. Storing backup data with U.S.-based providers creates direct conflicts between the GDPR and the U.S. CLOUD Act, which permits U.S. authorities to access data regardless of its location. This exposes your clients to significant compliance risks. By partnering with a European cloud provider, you eliminate this risk entirely.
Impossible Cloud operates exclusively in certified European data centers, ensuring all data remains under EU jurisdiction. This provides the legal certainty that nearly 100% of businesses require for regulated workloads. Our country-level geofencing guarantees data stays in predefined regions, simplifying GDPR compliance. This commitment to sovereign by design storage gives your channel a powerful competitive differentiator. This focus on EU-centric governance is the bedrock of a modern, compliant data protection strategy.

FAQ
What makes your pricing model predictable for the Veeam distributor channel?
Our pricing model is designed for predictability. We charge only for the storage you use and have eliminated all variable fees. This means zero egress fees, no charges for API calls (reads/writes), and no minimum storage duration, allowing our partners to build services with stable, defensible margins.
How does Impossible Cloud ensure GDPR compliance and data sovereignty?
We are a European company that operates exclusively in certified European data centers. We offer country-level geofencing to ensure data remains within a chosen EU country, which guarantees compliance with GDPR data residency requirements and avoids exposure to extra-territorial laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act.
Is your platform fully compatible with all Veeam features?
Yes, our platform offers full S3 API compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with Veeam Backup & Replication. This includes support for advanced features like S3 Object Lock for immutability, versioning, and lifecycle management, allowing you to leverage Veeam's full capabilities without any changes to your existing workflows.

We provide dedicated support for our channel partners, including a multi-tenant partner console for centralized management, full automation via API/CLI, detailed reporting tools, and a fast onboarding process.

What is 'Always-Hot' storage and how does it benefit Veeam restores?
Our 'Always-Hot' storage model means all data is immediately accessible at all times, with no delays or extra fees for retrieval. Unlike tiered storage that moves data to slower, cheaper archives, our approach eliminates restore delays, which is critical for meeting tight Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) with Veeam.
How are you prepared for the EU Data Act coming in September 2025?
Our platform is inherently aligned with the EU Data Act's principles of data portability and interoperability. By using the standard S3 API and having a zero-egress-fee policy, we remove technical and financial barriers to switching providers, giving customers the freedom and control the regulation mandates.
