Beyond sovereignty: How LocalScaler is redefining data compliance
Compliance is more than location. It is about control, governance, and confidence. Exaba’s LocalScaler data storage gives service providers and their customers the visibility and assurance to manage data under local jurisdiction with total transparency.
The global data landscape
Compliance expectations are rising everywhere.
90%
Most organisations cannot confirm the physical or legal location of customer data.
300%
Global privacy laws have doubled in four years, increasing compliance pressure and cross border fines.
$4.5M
The average data breach costs USD 4.35 million, including fines and remediation.
Built for Governance
Exaba enables service providers to deliver data compliance and control through a distributed, regionally governed architecture that scales as their business grows.
-
Local Deployment:Choose where data lives by region, country, or facility.
-
Built-In Compliance:
Pre-aligned with frameworks including GDPR, HIPPA, SOC2, NIST, and APRA CPS 234.
-
Transparent Management:
Unified monitoring, reporting, and audit trails for every node.
-
Performance at Scale:
Distributed clusters maintain low latency and high throughput.
The challenge of modern data compliance
Data privacy regulations continue to grow in complexity across every region. For many MSPs and cloud providers, data moves across borders faster than they can govern it, exposing customers to compliance risk and trust issues.
Customers demand proof of where their data is stored and who controls it.
Traditional clouds spread data globally, reducing visibility and jurisdictional control.
Compliance frameworks now require providers to prove location and governance.
LocalScaler: Sovereignty with purpose
LocalScaler defines a new category of storage built for service providers. It extends the principles of data sovereignty by combining local governance, performance, and scalability into one distributed architecture. As the world’s first LocalScaler data platform Exaba goes beyond traditional sovereignty requirements by ensuring not only where data resides but how it is managed, replicated, governed and scaled across connected clusters.
Built for service providers
Purpose-built for MSPs and data centres to deliver compliant, scalable storage as-a-service.
Local control with global reach
Keep data within defined jurisdictions while still connecting globally.
Governance in every cluster
Every node maintains full auditability, compliance tracking, and control.
“The Exaba team have worked closely with us to provide a solution that solves real problems and allows Spectrum to deliver to our customers and client base".

Frequently asked questions
Exaba gives MSPs full control over where data lives, how it’s protected, and who has access. Our LocalScaler architecture ensures data remains local to your chosen region, supported by strong encryption, immutability, audit logging, and policy-driven retention controls. This makes it easier to meet requirements across cyber insurance, IRAP-aligned frameworks, Essential 8 maturity, ISO standards, and customer-specific governance policies.
Yes. Exaba allows you to pin data to a specific region or country with complete geographic control. Data is never moved, replicated, or processed outside the region you select unless you choose to enable it. This ensures you maintain compliance with local data residency and sovereignty requirements and can satisfy customer and regulator audits with confidence.
LocalScaler is built to align with the key frameworks MSPs are assessed against: ISO 27001/27002, Essential 8, industry backup standards, and modern ransomware-resilience guidelines such as 3-2-1-1-0. Exaba’s platform design also supports compliance requirements commonly seen in finance, government, insurance, and health sectors, including strict data residency and immutability mandates.
No.LocalScaler is designed to simplify storage architecture, not complicate it. Deployment is lightweight, S3-compatible, and integrates seamlessly with existing backup platforms such as Veeam (Veeam Ready) and Commvault. Performance benefits from proximity, shorter network paths, lower latency, and the ability to place storage physically closer to customers compared with global hyperscalers.
Hyperscale is built for global distribution. LocalScaler is built for local control. With LocalScaler, your data stays in-region, your costs remain predictable, and your customers’ data never disappears into offshore systems or complex multi-layered storage tiers. MSPs get sovereignty, proximity, transparent pricing, and the ability to own their customer experience end-to-end. something hyperscalers simply can’t offer.
