Secure Predictable Margins With Sovereign Cloud Backup Storage
Volatile cloud storage costs are eroding your backup service margins. Hidden egress fees and API call charges make financial planning nearly impossible. Discover a sovereign, S3-compatible cloud storage solution designed for predictable profitability and strict EU compliance.
Key Takeawys
Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs with a model that has zero egress fees, API call charges, or minimum storage durations, creating stable and defensible margins for MSPs.
Deliver true digital sovereignty with a European-owned cloud that operates exclusively in EU data centers, ensuring GDPR compliance and avoiding CLOUD Act exposure.
Leverage an "Always-Hot" storage architecture with full S3 compatibility to ensure fast, reliable restores and seamless integration with existing backup tools.
For Managed Service Providers, delivering reliable backup and disaster recovery services is a core value proposition. Yet, many find their profitability undermined by the unpredictable pricing models of hyperscale cloud providers. More than 53% of organizations report exceeding their cloud storage budgets, with unexpected egress fees and API call charges being primary culprits. This volatility creates impossible cloud backup storage margins. A European, sovereign-by-design cloud offers a stable alternative, combining transparent, fixed costs with the stringent data protection and residency guarantees that EU clients now demand.
Establish Price Certainty by Eliminating Hidden Fees
Predictable margins begin with predictable costs. A significant 34% of enterprises state that egress costs have negatively impacted their use of cloud storage. Impossible Cloud is predictable by design, with a transparent model that has zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This structure provides MSPs with a stable cost base for building profitable Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and archiving solutions. You can confidently quote customers knowing your own costs will not change unexpectedly. Our approach removes the financial penalties for data retrieval, a critical factor for any effective backup and recovery service. This allows you to build more resilient and accessible storage solutions for partners.
This economic stability is the foundation for achieving what was previously considered impossible cloud backup storage margins.

FAQ
What makes Impossible Cloud's pricing model predictable for MSPs?
Our pricing is predictable because we have eliminated the variable costs that cause budget overruns. We charge a flat rate for storage capacity with no fees for egress (data transfer out), API calls, or minimum storage durations. This gives MSPs a stable cost base to build their services upon.
How does Impossible Cloud ensure GDPR compliance?
We ensure GDPR compliance by being a European company that operates exclusively in certified European data centers. We offer country-level geofencing to keep data within specific EU regions, ensuring it is governed solely by EU data protection laws.
What does 'Always-Hot' storage mean?
'Always-Hot' storage means all data is stored in a single, high-performance tier and is immediately accessible. Unlike tiered models that move data to slower 'cool' or 'archive' storage, there are no delays or retrieval fees when you need to access your data, which is critical for fast disaster recovery.
Is your platform compatible with my existing backup software?
Yes. Our platform offers full S3-API compatibility, which is the industry standard for object storage. This ensures out-of-the-box integration with leading backup and archiving software like Veeam, Acronis, NovaBackup, and any other tool that supports the S3 API.
What tools do you provide for channel partners and MSPs?
We provide a multi-tenant partner console for managing multiple clients, complete with role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA). We also offer a full API and Command-Line Interface (CLI) for automation, integration, and reporting.
How does your platform help me comply with the EU Data Act?
The EU Data Act requires data portability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our commitment to the standard S3 API and our transparent cost model with no egress fees provide a clear and practical exit strategy, ensuring you and your clients are not locked into our platform.
