Continent 8 Technologies, a provider of co-location and managed hosting services for the i-gaming industry, is continuing to expand its global data centre footprint and services.
In addition to the acquisition of Vault 247 in Gibraltar, the company has opened a new data centre in Dublin, Ireland, and a point-of-presence in Milan, Italy, further expanding flexibility and reliability for operators targeting the European market.
As well as the visible growth in Europe, the company has doubled its network capacity in Asia and sites in North America are currently being evaluated to go live within the next 12 months.
To support this growth, Eddie Kilbane joins Continent 8 as facilities director covering all its data centre locations. Kilbane has more than 30 years' experience in the building and civil engineering industry, with the last 19 specifically in telecommunication networks and data centre construction. He has been involved in data centre developments in the UK, Ireland, US, Bulgaria and Malta and is at the front of the development of the next breed of data centres.
The addition of David Stickland as its newest account director in sales also sees the company work on developing business opportunities within ebusiness sectors outside of online gaming.
