The Isle of Man’s only twin tier 3 data centre provider has just completed the second phase of its £10million Greenhill Data Centre which first came online in 2014. Providing additional hosting capacity for a number of client sectors – including eGaming, financial services, hospitality, retail, and utilities – their cloud hosting platform is ideal for smaller or rapidly growing businesses where rapid scalability up or down is critical for success in this fast moving sector. Combined with the Isle of Man’s jurisdictional advantage of being able to offer eGaming operators from anywhere in the world the option to operate their disaster recovery for 90-days licence free, the sector and Manx Telecom’s cloud platform continues to attract significant interest.
Manx Telecom has played a key role in the rapid growth of the Isle of Man’s eGaming sector and has invested more than £110million in the Island’s telecoms infrastructure over the last decade, with the proven capability to securely handle billions of pounds worth of transactions for eGaming clients. The company’s eGaming solutions range from entry level packages and customer co-located platforms to multi-site load balanced solutions and fully outsourced managed services with disaster recovery, global connectivity and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection. In addition, it has the largest pool of IT and telecoms experts on the Island, accredited to the highest standards. This includes 70 engineers trained in IP technology, of which 30 are specialist data centre and core network engineers dedicated to delivering enterprise hosting solutions for global eGaming clients.
