Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Impossible Cloud is a German infrastructure provider founded in 2021. Its main product is S3-compatible object storage. Buckets can be created in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Copenhagen or New York, and data can be written to several regions independently for geo-redundant backups. The storage includes Object Lock (WORM), versioning, bucket policies, ACLs, CORS, role-based access control and MFA. It is designed for eleven nines of durability using erasure coding. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001, and its data centers are certified to ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS. Most customers are MSPs and IT teams that need an offsite backup target under European jurisdiction. Native or tested integrations cover Veeam, Acronis, NAKIVO, MSP360, Hornetsecurity, Commvault and Veritas, and a large share of sales goes through European distributors and resellers. Pay-as-you-go storage is a flat 7.99 EUR per TB per month, billed monthly, with no egress or API request fees under a fair use policy. Reserved capacity of 1, 3 or 5 years starts at 25 TB, is sold through partners and is priced on request. A 30-day trial includes 5 TB and needs no credit card. Since 2025 the company also rents dedicated NVIDIA bare metal GPU systems on 1 to 60 month terms and runs an OpenAI-compatible managed inference service for open-weight models hosted in Finland, France and the UK. Its main limitation is scope: there is a single hot storage class with no cheaper archive tier, the feature set is basic (for example, no public buckets), and there is no general-purpose compute, CDN or database service.

Who Impossible Cloud is best for
Best software for IT TeamsGood fit
Built-in integrations with Veeam, Acronis, NAKIVO and similar backup tools, plus immutable Object Lock, make it a natural offsite backup target for IT teams.
Flat 7.99 EUR per TB pricing with no egress fees and a 5 TB free trial suits small firms that need simple offsite storage.
Less suited
Reviews from MSPs say the predictable per-TB pricing protects their margins, and the product is sold through a partner and reseller network.
Offers an S3 API, IAM and STS endpoints and an OpenAI-compatible inference API, but no public buckets and no general-purpose compute.
Offers reserved multi-year capacity, named account managers and EU data residency, but its track record and published SLA terms are limited.
European jurisdiction, country-level region choice and GDPR positioning appeal to public-sector buyers who need data sovereignty.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Flat 7.99 EUR per TB price with no egress or API request fees makes storage bills predictable for backup and restore-heavy workloads.
- Storage regions in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, France and Denmark, plus New York, let buyers choose the country where their data lives.
- Object Lock (WORM), versioning, RBAC and MFA, together with ISO 27001 certification, cover ransomware-resilient backup requirements.
- Hands-on testers and reviewers describe onboarding, access key creation and bucket setup as very quick.
- Integrates natively with common MSP backup tools such as Veeam, Acronis, NAKIVO, MSP360 and Hornetsecurity.
Cons
- Has only one hot storage class, so long-term archives cost the same as active data.
- Free egress is subject to a fair use policy, and the vendor may step in when egress greatly exceeds stored volume.
- Bucket features are basic. An independent 2026 test found no public bucket option.
- A small number of users report slow, bureaucratic onboarding, including one claim that trial data was deleted after the trial was not converted.
- Review volume is small on G2, Gartner and TrustRadius, and the published pages give no numeric uptime SLA.
