Continent 8 Technologies has achieved Microsoft Silver Partner (MSP) status as part of the Microsoft Partnership Network program, allowing it to further strengthen its cloud offering to operators and suppliers in the industry. To achieve this status, the company completed official training tracks and exams, as well as having to meet various performance requirements.
The network permits companies to undergo various tests and close scrutiny to ascertain their ability to deliver high-quality software, solutions and support based on Microsoft technologies. Continent 8 has gained Silver Partner status for two competencies: Datacenter and Application Development.
In obtaining Silver Partner status, Continent 8 is now considered part of a group of Partner Network members that have “proven expertise in delivering quality solutions”, according to Microsoft. As a result, Continent 8 will augment its existing cloud offering with Microsoft Azure Stack, initially delivering Azure Stack HCI. This will allow partners to refresh their virtualization host using a hybrid and hyperconverged solution integrated with Azure. The solution will be live in the coming weeks.
Michael Tobin, founder and CEO of Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Achieving Silver Partner status with Microsoft is a strategic step for Continent 8. It also reflects our continued efforts to be the leading multi-cloud solutions provider to organizations in the global gambling industry.”
While Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer, Continent 8 Technologies, commented: “Our cloud offering continues to develop, and I’m delighted that Continent 8 has joined the Microsoft Partner Network having achieved Silver Partner status. A big thank you to the team involved in obtaining this accreditation. The certification acknowledges our proven expertise in delivering quality cloud solutions to our customers.”
