In a strategic move to bolster its presence in West Virginia, Continent 8 Technologies, a global leader in digital infrastructure solutions, has unveiled plans for a new site, enhancing disaster recovery capabilities and gaining regulatory approval for its public cloud solution.
Since its initial entry into West Virginia in 2018 with a site in South Charleston, Continent 8 has been at the forefront of providing crucial digital infrastructure support to operators and suppliers in the region, particularly as online sports betting gained momentum.
The recent opening of a data center in Petersburg, West Virginia, marks a significant milestone for Continent 8. Situated over 200 miles from its existing site, this new facility, developed in partnership with the Seneca Rocks Regional Development Authority, offers enhanced disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, further solidifying Continent 8's commitment to supporting the gaming industry in the state.
"We are thrilled to expand our footprint in West Virginia, offering not only disaster recovery capabilities but also our approved Public Cloud solution," commented Michael Tobin, Founder and CEO of Continent 8 Technologies. "This move reinforces our position as the leading infrastructure provider in the North American market, providing operators and suppliers with the foundation they need to succeed."
With approval from the West Virginia gambling regulator, Continent 8's Public Cloud solution, already operational in several regulated gaming states across the U.S., presents a flexible and scalable option for entities entering the market, meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
Continuing its dominance in the North American online gambling sector, Continent 8 serves as the infrastructure backbone for 85% of operators listed on the 2023 EGR US Power Rankings. In West Virginia alone, the company supports over 20 major brands operating in the state.
Looking ahead, Continent 8 has ambitious plans for further expansion across the U.S., with ongoing investments aimed at establishing a robust multi-site network across numerous states.
With a global network spanning over 100 locations across four continents, Continent 8 remains a trusted partner for operators and suppliers seeking reliable digital infrastructure solutions.
