"twitter:title": "EU Database and Object Storage Infrastructure" --- # EU infrastructure for databases and object storage Run databases, object storage, analytics, and backup pipelines on NVMe-backed cloud or dedicated bare metal in Tallinn. EU data residency is the default, not a region selector buried in a US platform. ## **Data platform infrastructure that stays in the EU** High-IOPS storage, private inter-instance networking, Estonian jurisdiction, and clear EUR pricing for teams that need to know where their data stack actually runs. **NVMe storage for database workloads** NVMe-backed cloud and dedicated servers for PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, search, queues, and other I/O-sensitive systems. Keep the database close to the application tier instead of paying to move data around. **S3-compatible object storage in Estonia** Store backups, static assets, logs, and data lake objects through S3-compatible APIs without placing the data on US-operated infrastructure. Same operational pattern, cleaner jurisdictional answer. **EU data residency by physical location** Data lives in Tallinn, Estonia. EU law applies. When a DPO or customer asks where the platform runs, the answer is tied to actual infrastructure, not a marketing region name. **Private networking between platform components** Database, application, and analytics nodes can communicate over private internal networking. Less public exposure, fewer unnecessary data paths, and no surprise bandwidth line items between internal services. **Predictable EUR pricing** 20 TB/month traffic included on cloud and 100 TB/month on bare metal. EUR-denominated invoices. No hyperscaler-style egress surprise as your data platform starts moving real volume. **High-RAM and dedicated configurations** Use cloud VMs for smaller services or dedicated AMD EPYC servers when databases, analytics, and cache layers need predictable CPU, RAM, NVMe, and network isolation. ## **Why data platforms need infrastructure sovereignty** For data platforms, performance and jurisdiction are the same conversation. If data is the asset, the location, operator, network path, and billing model matter. #### **Data residency you can explain** Estonian infrastructure gives compliance teams a concrete location and operator. That is cleaner than bolting a DPA onto an opaque global platform and hoping procurement accepts it. #### **Storage and compute close together** Keep application servers, databases, object storage, and analytics nodes in the same operational environment. Fewer cross-region paths, fewer egress traps, less latency guessing. #### **Cloud when useful, bare metal when necessary** Start on cloud VMs where elasticity matters. Move heavy database or analytics nodes to dedicated servers when isolation, sustained I/O, and predictable monthly cost matter more. ## **Infrastructure paths for data platforms** Choose the substrate by workload, not by cloud brochure category. **Cloud VMs** Application nodes, smaller databases, staging systems, and services that still need EU-operated infrastructure. [Cloud VMs](https://3nv.io/products/cloud) **Dedicated servers** Sustained database, analytics, and cache workloads where predictable CPU, RAM, and NVMe isolation matter. [Dedicated servers](https://3nv.io/products/metal) **Storage** NVMe block storage and S3-compatible object storage for backups, assets, logs, and data pipelines. [Storage](https://3nv.io/products/storage) **Data sovereignty** Jurisdiction, operational control, and EU data residency for teams that need the answer to be auditable.

We will map it to cloud, dedicated servers, or a mixed EU infrastructure layout. [Talk to an Engineer](https://3nv.io/contact) [View Storage Options](https://3nv.io/products/storage)
