The decision from the company comes amid “customer demand” for such solutions now that the province has legalised online gambling. The newly regulated online market was launched in Ontario on 4 April 2022, with many operators and companies going live in the region.
“Launching our solution in Toronto forms part of our wider expansion plans for North America where we are growing rapidly to meet the demand for this vertical and other rewarding markets,” said Continent 8 Technologies CEO and Founder Michael Tobin.
“Our customers can be assured that in Continent 8 they have an infrastructure partner that can support them in any location they need.”
Continent 8’s Public Cloud platform is already live and licensed in many North American markets, including New Jersey’s Atlantic City since 2015, offering customers a platform that allows them to host infrastructure as Virtual Machines.
Key features include a self-service portal with template-based provisioning, the ability to integrate with Continent 8’s Co-Location, DDoS protection and additional cybersecurity services among others.
Continent 8 Technologies Chief Product Officer Justin Cosnett commented: “We have seen a surge in demand for our Public Cloud solution in Ontario since the province confirmed that it would be opening its doors to legal online gambling for the first time this month.
“Continent 8 is no stranger to providing its services in new markets globally. Our presence in Toronto forms part of our unrivalled connected network that spans four continents.”
