GDPR-compliant S3-compatible object storage for European enterprises
Impossible Cloud operates a sovereign cloud storage platform built on Hetzner, OVHcloud, and CoreWeave infrastructure, now heavily investing in GPU compute and AI capabilities alongside core storage. The hiring mix tilts sharply toward sales (14 roles) relative to engineering (7), with accelerating velocity across Germany, UK, Switzerland, and France—reflecting a go-to-market push to scale traction in a competitive category against AWS and hyperscaler lock-in.
Impossible Cloud provides S3-compatible object storage for European enterprises seeking GDPR-compliant, sovereign data control. Headquartered in Hamburg and serving over 2,000 customers, the platform runs on certified data centers across Europe with multi-layer encryption, Object Lock, IAM controls, and no egress fees. Core use cases span backup, disaster recovery, tape-to-cloud migration, and ransomware protection. The company is now expanding into GPU compute infrastructure and AI-first platform capabilities, signaling a shift from pure storage toward broader cloud infrastructure.
Infrastructure runs on Hetzner, OVHcloud, and CoreWeave with Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and Helm for orchestration; storage via Ceph; monitoring with Grafana and Loki; backend in Go and Python.
