Continent 8 Technologies Doubles Down in West Virginia

Global digital infrastructure solutions provider expands within state through new strategic site opening, further ramping up its disaster recovery capabilities, coupled with the West Virginia [Lottery] regulatory approval for its recognised public cloud solution catering to the online sports betting and iGaming verticals

Continent 8 Technologies, the renowned provider of digital infrastructure including managed hosting, managed network and cybersecurity solutions to operators and suppliers in the fast-growing North American market and beyond, is ramping up its offering in West Virginia with the opening of an additional site.

Continent 8 Technologies has deployed an ambitious first-to-market approach in the United States, notably going live in West Virginia via a site in South Charleston in 2018, permitting customers to hit the ground running when online sports betting launched in August later that year.

Located over 200 miles away from the South Charleston site, Continent 8 Technologies, in partnership with the Seneca Rocks Regional Development Authority, has now officially opened its data centre in Petersburg, West Virginia. As a result, it now adds true disaster recovery and enhanced business continuity to its suite of solutions available to operators and suppliers in the state via this dedicated site. Both sites are PCI DSS compliant.

Further expanding its solutions and capabilities in the state, Continent 8 Technologies has received approval by the gambling regulator in West Virginia, for its powerful Public Cloud solution, currently live across the majority of regulated gaming states across the United States. Meeting strict regulatory requirements, operators and suppliers can take advantage of the flexible, usage-based model for those looking to enter the market.

“We are thrilled to have added a second site, allowing us to expand our offering to include disaster recovery, as well as our approved Public Cloud solution in our original site, further establishing Continent 8 Technologies as the leading infrastructure provider in the North American market,” the founder and Chief Executive Officer for Continent 8 Technologies, Michael Tobin, said. “Infrastructure is the foundation operators and suppliers need to succeed and that’s why the biggest players come to Continent 8 Technologies. Our solutions, customer service, reputation and experience are unrivalled.”

Continent 8 Technologies is the leading infrastructure provider in North America for the online gambling industry with 85% of operators on the 2023 EGR US Power Rankings using its suite of managed hosting and connectivity solutions. In West Virginia, it is live with over 20 of the biggest brands operating in the state.

Continent 8 Technologies is live in 30 United States states with significant investment planned to further expand its multi-site footprint across numerous states, continuously adding to its global connected network of +100 locations across four continents.
