Secure Predictable Channel Partner Margins with Sovereign Storage
Unpredictable cloud fees are eroding channel partner margins. A new approach to object storage eliminates these costs entirely. Discover a model where profitability is built-in, not bolted-on.
Key Takeawys
Eliminate unpredictable egress and API fees to secure stable, defensible channel partner margins on storage services.
Leverage a sovereign-by-design, GDPR-compliant architecture to meet the growing enterprise demand for EU-based cloud solutions.
Utilize a partner-ready platform with multi-tenant management and an "Always-Hot" storage model to reduce operational overhead and scale efficiently.
For channel partners, delivering cloud backup and storage services should be a high-margin business. Yet, many find their profits diminished by unpredictable costs like egress fees and API call charges from hyperscale providers. A significant share of EU decision-makers now prefers a European solution, driven by the need for cost transparency and data security. This shift creates a clear opportunity for partners who can offer enterprise-ready, sovereign storage. A predictable, EU-centric model provides the foundation for stable, defensible margins and long-term growth.
Stabilize Revenue Streams by Eliminating Hidden Fees
Many managed service providers find over 15% of their cloud revenue consumed by unpredictable egress and API fees. This model makes forecasting margins nearly impossible. A pricing structure with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage duration fundamentally changes this dynamic. Partners can build services with 100% cost predictability from day one. This transparency is a key factor for the 60% of EU companies feeling locked into their current providers due to complex pricing. By removing hidden charges, you can offer clients superior value while protecting your backup storage margins. This direct approach addresses the primary economic pain points that slow cloud adoption for 9 out of 10 enterprises. A predictable cost model is the first step toward building a more profitable and resilient channel business.
