Our world starts in the Isle of Man
Since 2006, the Isle of Man has been at the fulcrum of Continent 8’s worldwide data centre operation. Recognised as one of the best regulated offshore jurisdictions, complete with its AAA rating, the island’s robust infrastructure has helped us create the perfect primary hosting and disaster recovery location.
Today, our state-of-the-art, award winning HQ is a magnet for some of the world’s leading eGaming operators and software providers.
And robust means robust! We’re situated just 300 metres from the island’s main power generating station, right at the centre of the Manx Electricity Authority’s highly respected fibre optic network with resilient paths off the Island.
Crucially, the Isle of Man is a business supportive environment where responsible Government policy making and forward thinking legislation helps set the jurisdiction apart. Its ‘Freedom to Flourish’ philosophy also dovetails neatly with our own business ethos.
As an example, ground breaking disaster recovery regulation permits operators to have servers in our Isle of Man data centre, without having to apply for a licence. Companies requiring secure management services for their infrastructure now need look no further than Continent 8 for flawless service delivery.
Underpinned by our Isle of Man foundations, Continent 8 has been able to develop, with confidence, a Global Private Network now encompassing a further six data centres worldwide.
