S3 object storage for European infrastructure teams
Fortalis S3 Object Storage gives enterprises and MSPs a fully S3-compatible interface for backup, archival and recovery workloads. Stored on European infrastructure, operated under European governance, and priced without surprises.
Built for teams that need S3-compatible object storage with no hyperscaler lock-in, hidden costs or sovereignty risk. Connect existing tools through the S3 API, apply retention controls where needed, and keep critical data within a European infrastructure model.
What Fortalis S3 object storage includes
No egress & no API call fees
Retrieve backup and archival data without egress penalties or API call cost. Recovery costs remain predictable regardless of data volume or frequency. A simple price per TB per month.
Immutable retention with Object Lock
Protect backup and archive data with WORM-compliant Object Lock retention. During the configured retention period, protected objects cannot be modified or deleted. Relevant for ransomware resilience and audit-driven compliance requirements, including environments subject to NIS2 and DORA.
European data control
All data is stored on European infrastructure and operated under European governance. Designed for organisations that require clearer control over data location, access and jurisdiction.
Enterprise access control
Manage bucket-level access with policies and permissions that support secure storage workflows across teams, applications and backup environments. Fortalis also supports custom object metadata, automated lifecycle policies, and an audit trail for every object action.

The S3 standard. Without hyperscaler constraints.
The S3 API has become the de-facto standard for object storage. Your existing backup platforms, scripts and applications already speak S3. Migration is a matter of updating an endpoint, not rewiring your stack.
Moving to Fortalis removes three constraints that come with running S3 workloads on a US hyperscaler.
Vendor lock-in
Egress fees, API call charges and tiered access costs make moving data out expensive, and they surface at the worst possible moment: during a recovery operation.
Hidden costs
S3 pricing at scale routinely diverges from initial estimates. With Fortalis, storage and access costs are predictable from day one.
Jurisdictional exposure
Storing data in an EU region of a US-headquartered provider does not resolve jurisdictional exposure. Fortalis is incorporated and governed within the EU.
S3-compatible by design
Fortalis is fully S3-compatible. Your backup environment does not require reconfiguration beyond three values: the endpoint URL generated by Fortalis, your access credentials, and your bucket name.
Because Fortalis uses a standard S3 API address as its service endpoint, any tool that already works with S3 works with Fortalis. Without code changes, without vendor-specific SDKs, and without retraining your team.
That extends beyond basic read/write: you keep versioning, lifecycle policies, object lock, and bucket-level access policies.
S3 Workflows in three steps
Connect
Point your existing backup platform, application or script to the Fortalis S3 endpoint. Use standard S3 credentials. No tooling changes required.
Protect
Apply encryption, access permissions and Object Lock retention to backup and archival data. Set retention policies that match your compliance obligations.
Recover
Retrieve data at any scale without egress penalties. Recovery costs remain consistent whether you restore a single file or an entire environment.

Frequently asked questions
How does pricing work? Are there egress fees?
Fortalis uses a transparent per-GB pricing model. There are no egress fees for data retrieval, making recovery costs predictable regardless of volume. Speak with our team for current pricing specific to your workload.
Does Fortalis work with my current backup software?
Fortalis S3 Object Storage is fully S3-compatible. If your backup platform supports S3: including Veeam, Acronis, Rubrik and Commvault. You connect by updating the endpoint URL, access key and bucket name. No further configuration is required.
How does Fortalis support data sovereignty?
Fortalis stores data in European data centres and operates as a European legal entity under European governance. This provides a clearer jurisdictional position than storing data in the EU region of a US-headquartered provider, where CLOUD Act exposure remains a factor regardless of data location.
Which S3-compatible controls are supported?
Fortalis S3 Object Storage supports the controls relevant for backup, archival and recovery environments: versioning, lifecycle policies, bucket policies, and Object Lock with WORM-compliant retention. Specific configuration options can be discussed based on your workload requirements.
