Onboarding new cloud services often involves complex integrations and unpredictable costs, eroding MSP margins before you even begin. A streamlined, partner-ready onboarding process transforms this challenge into a competitive advantage. Discover a 3-step process that accelerates your time-to-market for sovereign, S3-compatible storage.

Key Takeawys

The Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process is a streamlined, 3-step experience designed to get partners market-ready in under 60 minutes.

Partners benefit from a predictable financial model with no egress fees or API costs, ensuring stable and defensible margins for BaaS and DRaaS offerings.

The platform is sovereign by design, using EU-only data centers to guarantee GDPR compliance and immunity from the U.S. CLOUD Act.

For Managed Service Providers, the initial onboarding process is a critical moment that sets the stage for future profitability and client satisfaction. A slow, complicated setup with unpredictable costs can immediately impact margins by over 15%. The Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process is engineered to eliminate these barriers, providing a fast, transparent, and secure path to offering EU-based, sovereign cloud storage. This approach ensures you can deliver GDPR-compliant backup and archiving services in under 60 minutes, supported by a platform that is predictable by design.

Build on a Foundation of Predictable Margins and Sovereignty

The core challenge for over 80% of MSPs is managing unpredictable cloud costs that shrink margins. The Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process begins by establishing a transparent economic model from day one. With zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations, you can build BaaS and DRaaS offerings with defensible margins of 30% or more. This model is specifically designed for the MSP business framework.

This financial predictability is paired with a strict commitment to digital sovereignty, a key criterion for a majority of EU businesses. All data is stored exclusively in certified European data centers, shielding your clients from extraterritorial laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act. This EU-only approach simplifies GDPR compliance and provides the legal certainty required in regulated industries, setting up a frictionless path to scaling your services.

Execute a Fast, 3-Step Partner Onboarding Process

Time-to-market is a critical KPI for any successful MSP, with efficient onboarding directly impacting revenue by up to 25%. The Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process is designed for activation in under one hour. It provides immediate access to our partner console and resources.

The entire process is streamlined into three distinct phases:

  1. Instant Partner Registration: Complete a simple online form to gain immediate access to the multi-tenant partner console. Within 5 minutes, you receive credentials and access to all necessary technical documentation and marketing materials.

  2. Tenant Configuration and Branding: Create and manage multiple, isolated client tenants using the intuitive console or automate the process via our full S3-compatible API/CLI. You can apply custom branding and set up role-based access controls (RBAC) for your team in just 15 minutes.

  3. Service Activation and Migration: Configure endpoints for S3-compatible tools like Veeam or our partner NovaBackup. Start your first client backup or data migration immediately, with all data geofenced within the selected EU country from the very first byte.

This structured approach ensures you can start generating revenue on day one, without the typical delays of 2-3 days associated with complex provider setups.

Leverage a Multi-Tenant Console Designed for MSPs

Effective client management requires a platform built for the channel. More than 60% of MSPs use multi-tenant dashboards to manage their client base efficiently. The Impossible Cloud partner console is a central hub for creating, monitoring, and managing all your client accounts from a single interface. You can provision storage, set permissions, and generate reports with just a few clicks.

Security and automation are built into the console’s core. The platform supports robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and granular, role-driven policies. For scaling your operations, our S3-compatible API and CLI allow for 100% automation of tenant provisioning, user management, and billing report generation. This focus on partner-ready tools is why our onboarding process is so effective.

Guarantee EU Compliance and Data Sovereignty from Day One

A significant majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data infrastructure. The Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process ensures compliance is not an afterthought. Our platform is sovereign by design, operating exclusively in certified EU data centers to keep data under the protection of GDPR. This architecture provides a direct solution to the legal conflicts created by the U.S. CLOUD Act, which can compel U.S. providers to disclose data even if it is stored in Europe.

Furthermore, our services are aligned with upcoming regulations that will shape the next 5 years of data governance. This includes:

  • EU Data Act (from September 2025): Our commitment to S3 API standards and no lock-in supports the Act’s data portability requirements, ensuring clients can always move their data.

  • NIS-2 Directive: We provide the secure, resilient infrastructure MSPs need to help their clients meet the continuous security and supply-chain assurance mandates of NIS-2.

This regulatory readiness gives you a powerful competitive advantage, especially when serving clients in finance, healthcare, or the public sector. The next step is securing that data against modern threats.

Activate Immutable Storage for Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks remain a top threat, with recovery costs averaging millions and impacting over 35% of organizations. A core part of the Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process is enabling immutable storage via S3 Object Lock. This feature ensures that once data is written, it cannot be altered or deleted for a specified period, creating a tamper-proof copy for recovery. It is your clients' last line of defense.

Immutable backups render ransomware ineffective by guaranteeing a clean recovery point. For MSPs, offering this capability is a powerful differentiator that builds immense trust. You can configure immutability policies directly from your existing S3-compatible backup tools, making it a seamless addition to your service portfolio. This proactive security measure is a key value proposition for any MSP object storage partner.

Expand Your Reach with a Growing Partner Ecosystem

A successful partnership extends beyond technology to include market access and support. As part of the Impossible Cloud MSP onboarding process, you join a growing ecosystem designed for channel success. We have expanded our distribution network to provide local support and streamlined procurement across key European markets. This includes our distributor api in Germany and our first UK distributor, Northamber plc.

This network provides you with the resources and relationships to grow your business. Our collaboration with backup ISVs like NovaBackup ensures out-of-the-box integrations that simplify deployment and enhance compliance. By joining our channel program, you gain not just a product, but a partnership committed to your growth. Now is the time to take the next step.

FAQ

What makes the Impossible Cloud pricing model predictable for MSPs?

Our pricing model is predictable by design because we have eliminated common variable costs. We charge only for the storage you use, with no fees for data egress (downloads) or API calls, and no minimum storage duration. This allows you to set fixed prices for your clients and maintain stable margins.



How does multi-tenant management work in the partner console?

The multi-tenant console allows you to create separate, secure environments for each of your clients under a single MSP account. You can assign specific user roles and permissions (RBAC) for each tenant, ensuring data isolation and secure management across your entire client base.



What is S3 Object Lock and why is it important for my clients?

S3 Object Lock creates immutable backups, meaning the data cannot be deleted or altered for a user-defined period. This is a critical defense against ransomware, as it ensures a clean, unencrypted copy of data is always available for recovery, rendering the attack ineffective.



Is the Impossible Cloud platform ready for new EU regulations like NIS-2 and the Data Act?

Yes. Our platform's focus on security, resilience, and EU-only data storage helps you meet the stringent requirements of the NIS-2 Directive. Our use of the standard S3 API and a no-lock-in philosophy aligns directly with the data portability principles of the EU Data Act, which takes effect in September 2025.



Who are Impossible Cloud's distributors in the UK and Germany?

Our distribution partners are Northamber plc in the United Kingdom and api in Germany. These partners provide local support, expertise, and streamlined procurement for resellers and MSPs in their respective regions.



How do I get started with the MSP onboarding process?
