Continent 8 Technologies to open new data centre in Curaçao

Continent 8 Technologies is set to open a new data centre in Curaçao next month.

The security and data company is continuing its global expansion strategy, following June’s opening of an office in Hyderabad, India.

The new base will enable current and future operators access to Continent 8’s “full range of services and solutions” via the Curaçao site.

This includes a direct connection to the company’s network of over 100 locations across several continents, on top of being protected by its cybersecurity offering.

Continent 8 added that further sites across the globe are planned to launch over the coming year.

Michael Tobin, Continent 8 Technologies founder and CEO, said the move will allow both operators and suppliers to use the firm’s infrastructure.

Tobin said: “We have been powering operators and suppliers in regulated jurisdictions for 25 years, providing compliant hosting solutions, globally.

“Thanks to our experience, regulatory knowledge and market-leading solutions, we have become the trusted infrastructure partner to the industry.

“Our move into Curaçao comes at a time when operators and suppliers need infrastructure solutions they can rely on, and this is exactly what we have built our name and reputation on,” he added,

Nick Nally, chief revenue officer, said regulatory changes in Curaçao meant Continent 8 moved swiftly to operate from the island.

Nally commented: “We pride ourselves on our agility and ability to provide solutions to customers, quickly. We realised an opportunity and we had to move fast to ensure operators have the very best hosting solutions.

“With the changes being made in Curaçao with regards to online gambling licences, strengthening the application process to attract a wider range of operators, those looking to seek a licence can be assured that they can capitalise on leading services and solutions from Continent 8,” he concluded.
