Taking the next step toward practical data-sovereignty—without a single second of downtime.
When we founded Vawlt, our goal was simple: make the promise of multi-cloud—portability, resilience, price–performance arbitrage—actually usable. Over the past five years we’ve delivered a cloud-of-clouds architecture that abstracts the messy bits of object storage, encryption, routing and billing into one elegant control plane.
Version 3.2 is the biggest leap forward since launch because it eliminates the last meaningful barrier to true freedom of choice: the fear of downtime—and the hidden costs—when you want to change providers or add a private cloud to the mix.
What’s new in 3.2 — at a glance
|
Zero-Downtime Cloud Switching |
Swap any underlying cloud on an active volume in two clicks; data migrates live, apps stay online. |
|
Three New EU Providers |
IONOS Cloud, Scaleway and Impossible Cloud join the roster, enabling fully EU-resident Supercloud volumes. |
|
MinIO Private-Cloud On-Ramp |
Bring your own on-prem or partner-hosted MinIO cluster into Vawlt for the same policy and data-plane control. |
|
Engine Overhaul |
Up to 40× faster bulk-data movement on selected workloads, with a leaner CPU/RAM footprint for greener TCO. |
Aggregate benefits at a glance — more choice, more control, more independence
By fusing three core upgrades—live cloud switching, an expanded roster of European partners (now IONOS Cloud, Scaleway, Impossible Cloud and OVHcloud) and more options for private cloud integration—Vawlt 3.2 delivers a compound advantage that goes far beyond the sum of its parts:
- More options → more freedom. Four EU-based clouds plus many other cloud options, from hyperscalers to 2nd tier clouds and private cloud options, give you an à-la-carte menu of cost, latency and regulatory profiles.
- Portability on demand. Seamless, real-time migration removes the inertia that keeps data trapped. You can rebalance volumes overnight—before a price hike, after a merger, during a sovereignty audit—without asking developers to refactor code.
- Independence by design. Long-term data strategies thrive when storage is decoupled from location. Vawlt’s abstracted Supercloud layer lets you commit to durable architectures while keeping every underlying provider interchangeable.
- EU sovereignty, globally applied. Whether you need all replicas inside the bloc for GDPR or just want an EU node as geopolitical insurance, Vawlt’s four-cloud European footprint ticks the compliance box—while the same tooling lets US or APAC firms pursue their own jurisdictional policies.
- Future-proof resilience. Now with a faster, more efficient storage engine than ever, you can take far leaner approaches to data, meaning you can scale your data volumes without scaling your carbon footprint or loose control of your bills.
Transparent Cloud Switching: goodbye, vendor lock-in
Cloud life used to be a one-way ticket—getting in was easy, getting out could mean days of downtime and five-figure egress bills. Our Transparent Cloud Switching changes that.
- Pick the cloud you want to retire and the one you want to add.
- Receive a price tag for the optimized migration process
- Hit Apply.
- Keep working while Vawlt migrates, re-parities and verifies blocks in the background.
We’ve benchmarked full migrations of hundreds of TB across different clouds with zero impact on application latency and throughput.
EU-Centric Supercloud: compliance without compromise
Our Supercloud footprint in Europe now spans IONOS Cloud, Scaleway, Impossible Cloud and OVHcloud. With four independent platforms inside the bloc, you can:
- Pass every residency test in one stroke – keep all replicas within EU borders for GDPR, NIS2 and the forthcoming EU Data Act.
- Build diversity into your DR plan – spread data across multiple European jurisdictions to minimise single–region risk without leaving the continent.
- Toggle economics on demand – rebalance volumes between lower-cost and premium EU tiers overnight, no vendor negotiations required.
The result is a storage layer that plays by Europe’s rules, yet moves at your business tempo.
MinIO joins the party: your private storage becomes a first-class Supercloud node
Vawlt 3.2 lets customers and partners plug existing MinIO clusters straight into any Vawlt volume, treating them exactly like another cloud in the mix. That unlocks three powerful patterns:
- Hybrid turbo-mode –integration turns every server you control into a sovereign building block of the Supercloud, while still giving you on-demand access to the scalability of the wider cloud universe.
- Fully private Superclouds – stitch together multiple MinIO-backed sites under Vawlt’s policy engine to gain erasure-coded durability, encryption and lifecycle automation.
- Investment maximiser – extend the life and ROI of storage you already own, yet manage it through the same console, API and billing logic that governs your public-cloud buckets.
