Cloud, connectivity and security provider to iGaming businesses collaborates with Amazon Web Services to strengthen capabilities and competencies

Continent 8 Technologies has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Select Consulting Partner status in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and will now be able to expand its capabilities and competencies to further assist iGaming operators and suppliers with their cloud, connectivity and security needs.

The APN is the global community of partners who leverage AWS to build solutions and services for their customers.

The recognition comes after Continent 8 completed the comprehensive business planning, training and certification required to become an AWS Select Consulting Partner, while also supporting customers with the deployment of AWS services and solutions.

Continent 8 has recently supported several iGaming customers with the deployment and hosting of AWS Outposts throughout the US, establishing an AWS Outpost Enablement Package which provides a delivery team to lead, co-ordinate and support the deployment from pre-install to go-live.

In addition to this, and to meet customer demand, Continent 8 offers Network Edge Services (NEaaS) to provide all of the functionality required to connect the AWS Outpost to the internet (in-jurisdiction and Tier 1 peering) and to AWS (privately or publicly).

Now that it has been recognised as an AWS Select Consulting Partner, Continent 8 will continue to collaborate with AWS on additional value-add services around its AWS Outpost offering and to further expand its capabilities and competencies across cloud, connectivity and security.

This aligns with the company’s vision to be the Multi-Cloud Solution Partner to iGaming organisations and to “Connect, Manage and Secure” those cloud environments.

Keith Stafford, Head of Cloud Architecture at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Joining the APN and being recognised as an AWS Select Consulting Partner is a strategic step for Continent 8.

“This alliance provides the opportunity for us to help our clients accelerate the adoption of cloud technologies, demonstrating our commitment to deliver the best possible solutions and services to iGaming businesses in markets around the world, including the fast-growing US market.”

DiffusionData, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced that it is now a fully-fledged member of the AWS Partner Network (APN) – a global community of partners that leverages programs, expertise, and resources to build, market, and sell customer offerings. As an APN member, DiffusionData joins a global network of 100,000 partners from more than 150 countries working with AWS to provide innovative solutions, solve technical challenges, and deliver value to customers.

Earlier this year, DiffusionData launched Diffusion 6.9 on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, the managed software catalogue that allows businesses to easily access, install and invoice software from trusted, independent vendors. By listing through the AWS Marketplace, organizations that use AWS can streamline the purchase and deployment of Diffusion, giving development teams a simplified way to deploy the framework into their environments.

Andrey Nikishin, Senior Cloud Product Manager at DiffusionData, said: “Our inclusion in the APN and its availability in AWS Marketplace means AWS customers can scale their platform exponentially at lower TCO. Installing a Diffusion Server from the AWS Marketplace is simple – set a couple of options, click a button, and the Diffusion Server will be up and running in the customer’s account. By hosting Diffusion on AWS, we improve the quality of customer experience, as well as provide an opportunity to save money on infrastructure.”

DiffusionData completed the comprehensive AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) to validate the enterprise readiness of its intelligent data framework. The FTR is administered by AWS and helps AWS Partners identify AWS Well-Architected best practices specific to their software or solution as established by the AWS Well-Architected Framework for aspects such as security, operational excellence, and sustainability.

DiffusionData’s framework is used by companies worldwide in sectors such as financial services, eGaming, retail, travel and transportation, health and digital media sectors. The framework is purpose-built to simplify and speed data-driven, real-time application development, reduce operational costs, and economically deliver hyper-personalised data. By offering integration with the flexibility and scalability of AWS and pay-as-you-go pricing, businesses can greatly reduce complexity and significantly accelerate their real-time data streaming strategies.

Nikishin concluded: “The deepening of our relationship with AWS recognizes the widespread adoption of their technology by our customers and our desire to make our solutions as accessible as possible. By completing the AWS Foundational Technical Review, we empower customers by opening the door to new services and solutions that accelerate their digital transformation strategies by gaining access to state of the art real-time data streaming technology.”
