Secure VAR Margins with Impossible Cloud's Object Lock Object Storage
Are unpredictable cloud costs and rising ransomware threats eroding your clients' trust and your margins? Impossible Cloud offers a European object storage solution with immutable backups. Discover a partner-ready platform that delivers digital sovereignty and predictable profitability.
Key Takeawys
Eliminate unpredictable cloud costs with a model that has zero egress fees, zero API call charges, and no minimum storage durations, securing predictable margins for VARs.
Deliver powerful ransomware protection using S3-compatible Object Lock, which makes backup data immutable and safe from malicious encryption or deletion.
Guarantee clients full digital sovereignty and GDPR compliance with storage operated exclusively in certified, geofenced European data centers, free from CLOUD Act exposure.
For Value-Added Resellers (VARs), delivering robust and compliant data storage solutions is a constant balancing act between security, cost, and complexity. Clients demand protection against ransomware and adherence to EU regulations like GDPR, while VARs need predictable margins to build a sustainable business. Traditional cloud storage often introduces volatile costs through egress fees and complex tiering, making it difficult to price services competitively. Impossible Cloud provides a sovereign, S3-compatible object storage platform with integrated Immutable Storage / Object Lock, specifically designed to solve these challenges for the channel.
Build Predictable Revenue Streams Without Egress Fees
Predictable profitability is the foundation of a successful VAR business, yet hidden fees undermine it. A 2024 report noted that 94% of IT leaders have seen rising cloud costs, with egress fees being a major contributor. Impossible Cloud eliminates egress fees and API call charges entirely, creating a transparent cost structure. This allows you to build BaaS/archiving services with defensible margins of over 30%. Our model has no minimum storage durations, offering maximum flexibility for your business and your clients. This approach transforms your pricing strategy from reactive to proactive, ensuring no end-of-month billing surprises. Predictability empowers you to focus on value instead of navigating complex cost variables.
