Continent 8 designed, planned and executed full-service VMware-to-Nutanix migration effort, helping Sportingtech avert 42% increase in virtualisation costs

Continent 8 Technologies, the leading provider of global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity solutions to the iGaming and online sports betting industry, is pleased to announce an expanded partnership with multi-award-winning global betting and gaming provider, Sportingtech. In a strategic collaboration to optimise its virtualisation environment, Sportingtech entrusted Continent 8 to successfully oversee and implement their VMware-to-Nutanix cloud migration initiatives.

In the wake of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, Sportingtech encountered an unexpected increase in costs, rising by as much as 42% due to licensing changes. This development significantly impacted the cost structure of their VMware-based virtualised enterprise private cloud architecture. To mitigate against these cost fluctuations, Sportingtech chose Continent 8, a Nutanix Authorised Service Provider and their current cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity services partner, to provide professional and managed services for a VMware-to-Nutanix migration.

Continent 8 executed a comprehensive assessment, prioritisation plan and migration journey of hundreds of virtual appliances. The significant efforts led by Continent 8, in close collaboration with Sportingtech, ensured no disruptions in operations or to users and were completed well within the originally anticipated target date. As a result, Sportingtech now benefits from a more predictable, manageable and cost-efficient virtualisation platform and environment.

Michael Jack, Chief Technology Officer at Sportingtech, said: “We are always looking for ways to enhance the solution we build for our customers and to keep costs down. Working with Continent 8, who constantly push to provide efficiencies, cost reductions and value-added expertise, made good sense to us. They continue to be a valued partner and managed to deliver the project on time with no service interruption for us or our customers, which is critical.”

Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer at Continent 8, said: “Continent 8 is able to use its experience with VMware, Nutanix, private and public clouds to provide professional as well as managed services to customers, enabling them to focus on core revenue-generating operations. Being able to demonstrate such a significant saving and ROI will be of interest to many enterprises in today’s market.

“It’s thanks to the experienced and highly qualified project and cloud engineering staff at Continent 8 that we were able to successfully complete this project, while earning Sportingtech’s trust to manage their critical operational infrastructure.”

Booming Games turns up the temperature with Inferno Fortune Power Hit, the explosive first title in the brand-new Power Hit Series.

Set on a blazing 6×4 grid with 4096 ways to win, Inferno Fortune Power Hit is designed for players who crave nonstop action and high win potential. At the core of the game lies the powerful Power Hit feature, which can be triggered in both the base game and Free Spins.

To activate a Power Hit Spin, players need to land collector symbols on reels 1 and/or 6, which then collect the value of all coin symbols currently on screen. Coin symbols can land on all reels with values ranging from 0.5x up to 20x, delivering frequent wins with fiery intensity.

But that’s not all—players also have the chance to land jackpot coins, paying out 50x (Mini), 100x (Minor), 250x (Major) and a scorching 2000x for the Grand Jackpot. And if two collectors land at once? Every coin on screen gets collected twice, igniting even bigger win potential.

Free Spins are triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Symbols, awarding 3, 5, 7, or 9 Free Spins, respectively. Additionally, any scattered Bonus Symbols that don’t trigger the feature are stored in the Inferno Fireball. This fiery orb builds tension throughout the session and can randomly explode at any time,  suddenly launching players into the Free Spins mode.

To turn up the heat even further, players can activate the Inferno Bet, boosting their chances of triggering Free Spins. And for those who prefer to skip the wait, Inferno Fortune Power Hit also offers four Buy Bonus options, providing instant access to the fiery Free Spins feature.

Packed with coin collection thrills, random bonus triggers, jackpot excitement, and blazing visual effects, Inferno Fortune Power Hit marks an electrifying start to Booming Games’ Power Hit Series.

Moritz Blume, Vice President of Product at Booming Games, said: “With Inferno Fortune Power Hit, we’re launching a feature-packed, high-energy series designed to keep players on the edge of their seats. The collection mechanic, jackpot potential, and random bonus triggers offer a thrilling experience from start to finish.”
