Secure MSP Margins and Sovereignty with the Right Veeam Backup Target Cloud Storage
MSPs face a dual threat: unpredictable cloud fees eroding their margins and complex data sovereignty laws creating compliance risks. A purpose-built Veeam backup target MSP cloud storage solves both, offering a path to predictable profitability and guaranteed EU data residency.
Key Takeawys
Choose a European-owned cloud provider to ensure true data sovereignty and eliminate risks from foreign laws like the US CLOUD Act.
Utilize S3 Object Lock on your Veeam backup target to create immutable backups, making them invulnerable to ransomware encryption or deletion.
Select a cloud storage partner with a zero-egress, zero-API-fee model to achieve predictable costs and protect MSP profit margins.
For Managed Service Providers, offering Veeam backup services should be a profitable, streamlined operation. Yet, many find themselves battling volatile costs from egress fees and API calls, which account for nearly 50% of cloud bills. Simultaneously, the extraterritorial reach of laws like the US CLOUD Act creates a significant compliance burden, even when data is stored in EU data centers. This article outlines a strategic approach for selecting a Veeam backup target MSP cloud storage that is predictable by design. We will explore how a European-owned and operated cloud provider delivers not just cost control but also the digital sovereignty required under GDPR and NIS-2, turning compliance into a competitive advantage.
Achieve True Digital Sovereignty and Mitigate CLOUD Act Risks
Storing data within an EU data center is no longer a guarantee of sovereignty. The US CLOUD Act of 2018 allows U.S. authorities to compel American companies to provide data, regardless of where it is stored globally. This puts EU data managed by U.S.-owned cloud providers in a precarious legal position, creating a direct conflict with GDPR principles. For MSPs, this introduces a major compliance risk for their clients' sensitive backup data.
A truly sovereign cloud is owned and operated by a European entity, exclusively within certified EU data centers. This design ensures that your data is governed solely by EU law, completely removing exposure to foreign statutes. Choosing an EU-based provider is a necessity for guaranteed data protection. Impossible Cloud provides this legal certainty with country-level geofencing, ensuring data stays within predefined regions under EU rules. This approach provides a clear answer to the 90% of EU decision-makers who demand European solutions for critical infrastructure. Learn more about our Veeam Cloud Connect solutions.
