Impossible Cloud London MSP Solutions: Sovereign, Secure, and Predictable Cloud Storage
London MSPs face a dual challenge: delivering robust data protection under tightening EU regulations while managing unpredictable costs from hyperscale providers. A sovereign cloud storage solution offers a clear path to predictable margins and enhanced compliance. This article details how Impossible Cloud’s partner-first approach solves these core issues.
Key Takeawys
Impossible Cloud offers London MSPs a GDPR-compliant, sovereign cloud storage solution with zero egress fees, enabling predictable margins for backup and DR services.
Full S3 API compatibility and an 'Always-Hot' storage model ensure seamless migration for existing tools and immediate data accessibility for rapid recovery.
Built-in Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock provides robust ransomware protection, while partnerships with UK distributors like Northamber plc offer local MSP support.
For Managed Service Providers in London, the landscape of cloud storage is increasingly complex. Clients demand absolute data security and compliance with regulations like GDPR, while the hidden costs of egress fees and API calls from major cloud vendors erode profit margins by up to 15%. Furthermore, with the EU Data Act taking effect from September 2025, data portability is no longer a feature but a legal requirement. Impossible Cloud provides London MSP solutions that are sovereign by design, offering a predictable cost model and a robust, S3-compatible platform to build profitable, compliant, and resilient services.
Achieve Digital Sovereignty and Eliminate CLOUD Act Exposure
A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data infrastructure. For London MSPs with clients in the EU, storing data with US-owned cloud providers creates a direct conflict between GDPR and the US CLOUD Act. This US law permits authorities to access data held by American firms, regardless of where it is stored, creating a compliance risk that up to 4% of global turnover in fines.
Impossible Cloud operates exclusively in certified European data centers, ensuring data remains under EU jurisdiction. Our platform offers country-level geofencing, guaranteeing data residency within specific EU nations to meet the strictest client requirements. This EU-only operational model provides the legal certainty needed to build GDPR-compliant services.
By choosing a truly European provider, you remove the legal ambiguity and risk associated with non-EU vendors. This focus on UK data sovereignty solutions is no longer a niche requirement but a core business need for at least 60% of enterprises.

FAQ
How does Impossible Cloud ensure GDPR compliance for my clients?
Impossible Cloud ensures GDPR compliance by operating exclusively in certified European data centers and offering country-level geofencing. This guarantees data is stored and governed strictly under EU law, avoiding conflicts with extraterritorial laws like the US CLOUD Act and fulfilling key data residency requirements.
What makes your pricing model better for MSPs?
Our pricing model is designed for predictability and profitability. We charge only for storage used and have eliminated all egress fees, API call charges, and minimum storage duration fees. This transparent approach allows MSPs to set fixed prices for their services and protect their margins without worrying about surprise costs.
How easy is it to migrate my clients' data to Impossible Cloud?
Migration is straightforward due to our full S3 API compatibility. Your existing tools, scripts, and applications can connect to our platform by simply changing the endpoint credentials. This minimizes migration risk and downtime, allowing for a seamless transition from any other S3-compatible provider.
What kind of support do you offer for UK-based MSPs?
We provide dedicated support for UK MSPs through our local distribution partners, including Northamber plc. This includes access to technical experts, streamlined onboarding assistance, and a partner-ready console with multi-tenant management, API/CLI for automation, and integrated reporting tools.
How does the 'Always-Hot' storage model benefit disaster recovery?
Our 'Always-Hot' model ensures every piece of data is immediately accessible without any delays from tier-restoration processes. For disaster recovery, this means significantly faster recovery times (RTOs) because there is no waiting for data to be moved from a 'cold' or 'archive' tier to a 'hot' tier before a restore can begin.
Can I use Impossible Cloud for more than just backups?
Absolutely. While ideal for backup, disaster recovery, and archiving, our S3-compatible object storage is also suited for a wide range of other use cases. These include tape-to-cloud initiatives, hosting static web content, big data analytics, and any application that requires scalable, durable, and accessible object storage.
