Continent 8 Technologies Reaches AWS Progressive AWSTier Level

Continent 8 Technologies has powered its status as the eminent cloud and connectivity brand after being recognized by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as an Advanced Consulting Partner.

The newest recognition arrives after Continent 8 was accepted as an AWS Select Consulting Partner. The company has already spent several months enhancing its capabilities, and this will now pay off after getting the status of AWS partner.

This level is exclusively available for partners who are at the forefront of gaming production, and Continent 8 has become a leader in the sector thanks to its continued growth. The company has expanded its scale and scope of services in the organization with regular training and certification for its current technical team, as well as with appointments of skilled AWS specialists.

The enterprise has already assisted customers with AWS solutions and deployments, specifically in North America, with good customer feedback needed to meet AWS’ requirements. This involves the leading sportsbook in the USA, FanDuel.

While obtaining the advanced status, another goal of the company was to provide added solutions and services to users during their AWS distribution.

After securing an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner status, Continent 8 is determined to continue to extend its AWS portfolio, creating additional competencies within its current team and roles. The company will also continue to promote the best solutions with adoption, migration, and safety to players via its AWS Cloud Accelerator.

Commenting on the newest recognition, Shane Sweeney, VP of IT at FanDuel, said: 

“Continent 8 are a key and strategic partner for FanDuel and the combination of Continent 8 Data Center services and Amazon Web Services has enabled FanDuel to focus on its mission of being absurdly fan-focused by delivering the best product in the industry.”

Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, says that reaching an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner level is another strategic step for the company as it continues to extend its hyperscale cloud offering. This supports the mission of the brand to become a multi-cloud provider for the international online gambling sector.

Head of Cloud Architecture at Continent 8 Technologies, Keith Stafford, noted that since reaching the Select Consulting Partner level in February 2021 the company has continued to enhance its capabilities and team to support customers accelerate the introduction of cloud technologies, accepting more than 20 Outpost deployment locations, as plus direct private cloud connectivity for customers. Reaching advanced tier status further demonstrates that the company delivers the most valuable solutions and services.
