In focus: Gibtelecom

Launching services in Malta, with an expanded portfolio.

Gibtelecom, a global provider of data centre facilities, managed solutions and cloud services, launched a full suite of services from its latest ‘point of presence’ in Malta earlier this year. This cements Gibtelecom’s position as a trusted provider of co-location and cloud services (private, public or hybrid solutions) to the iGaming and wider business community, including financial services and communications.

Headquartered in Gibraltar, Gibtelecom currently offers an expanding enterprise portfolio of cloud hubs and hosting facilities in Gibraltar, London, Dublin, Malta, Isle of Man and Malaysia. Connected via a private global network, the company provides enhanced service capabilities spanning three continents. In addition, its Cloud Connect product offers direct access via a global private network to leading hyperscale providers, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.

Gibtelecom is an established player in the carrier world, tailoring solutions across various sub-sea and terrestrial cable systems to meet requirements of international enterprises and carriers alike.

Connected directly to the company’s core network, Maltese businesses are now linked with operations in Asia, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, as well as other leading tier one providers. With decades of experience servicing the iGaming industry, Gibtelecom’s services are fully compliant with Maltese gaming regulations, making it an ideal solution for Malta-based operators. Built to Tier III specifications the data centre facilities are PCI and ISO:27001 compliant and connected to a redundant resilient global IP backbone.

With a rapidly expanding product portfolio, and a growing number of Points of Presence across the globe, Gibtelecom has fast established itself as an agile partner to its business customers, enhanced by industry-leading support SLAs, dedicated account managers and pre-sales consultants.

The extent and ambition of Gibtelecom’s operations, the diversity of its services and the critical demands from enterprise customers quickly identified the requirement for an advanced security platform. Cybersecurity is at the top of the agenda for many organisations and Gibtelecom is no exception.

Having signed a strategic partnership with global ICT and security integrator, Getronics, Gibtelecom customers are now benefitting from cutting edge Managed Security capabilities. The combination of Getronics’ 24×7 security service offerings, and the market leading managed services platform, offers Gibtelecom customers the peace of mind that their environments are being continually monitored by a trusted team of experts.

Gibtelecom Director of Enterprise Danny Hook said: “We had been preparing the building blocks for a Malta launch for some time to ensure that we were able to offer best in-class services designed to meet the needs of the industry. We’re excited for this latest development to the Gibtelecom portfolio and all future connections this expansion will bring”.

To supplement its growing operations, Gibtelecom’s team has also gone from strength to strength over the past year, with significant expansion seen in the team headquartered in Gibraltar as well as the appointment ofe xperienced iGaming professional, Andrea Thorvaldsen, as its Malta-based Business Development Manager.

With an extensive background in telecommunications, paired with a decade-long career in the iGaming industry, including setting up a gaming operation in Malta, Andrea has worked with many leading organisations and regulatory authorities on the island.

She commented: “It’s really exciting to join an expanding organisation that provides global solutions for some of the world’s biggest iGaming brands. I look forward to working with the wider Gibtelecom team to support our clients with our world-class end-to-end solutions and providing truly tailored offerings to meet their requirements. Malta is a leading jurisdiction for iGaming and we can offer a wide range of services, with a global network designed to maximise performance and security; and a high performing suite of cloud services.”
