Continent 8 Technologies, a global leader in cloud hosting and cybersecurity for iGaming and online sports betting, has announced enhanced AWS support to streamline the deployment and management of next-generation AWS Outposts racks, ensuring secure, ultra-low-latency hybrid cloud infrastructures.
The second-generation AWS Outposts, announced at the end of April 2025, offer significant performance enhancements over their predecessors, including faster processing, higher memory capacity and increased network bandwidth for on-premises workloads.
Continent 8 empowers customers to leverage these innovations with the following solutions:
- Managed AWS Outposts service provides comprehensive procurement, logistics, workload migration and ongoing management of AWS Outposts, coupled with unrivalled connectivity and seamless access to all AWS Direct Connect (DX) on-ramp locations. This service allows betting and gaming operators and suppliers to focus on value-added, core revenue-generating activities.
- Managed Hybrid Network service facilitates seamless integration between on-premises infrastructures and AWS Regions, offering the most secure, resilient, hybrid cloud connectivity, bypassing the public internet via a private multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network.
Continent 8 has extensive experience with AWS Outposts, having provided comprehensive support to operators and suppliers with the initial generation of rack platforms. Today, Continent 8 is responsible for over 90% of AWS Outposts deployments within the regulated betting and gaming industry.
Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer at Continent 8, stated, “Our strategic partnership with AWS, along with our deep experience with the first-generation AWS Outposts technology, enables us to provide the requisite expertise for delivering seamless AWS experiences. With the launch of the latest generation of AWS Outposts, we are well-positioned to manage the betting and gaming industry’s ‘business as usual’, day-to-day operations and IT infrastructure needs, allowing customers to swiftly benefit from the platform’s latency and performance enhancements for their most demanding gaming projects.”
As an AWS Solution Provider, Continent 8 also offers managed services, including Managed AWS Outposts and Managed Hybrid Networking, available via the AWS Marketplace. Continent 8 is a Gold sponsor of the AWS Community Day Malta on 30 May and will be running a session on ‘Future-ready cloud solutions: winning in regulated markets’.
