Manx Telecom’s two Tier 3 designed data centres, and its cloud and disaster recovery solutions, will be the company’s key topics at ICE Totally Gaming 2016. The gaming sector’s biggest expo is taking place at London’s Excel from today, February 2nd to 4th.

Stephen Kane, Head of Data Centre and Managed Services at Manx Telecom, commented: “We will be highlighting our range of data centre, dedicated, shared or hybrid managed cloud platforms, and disaster recovery solutions, and bringing some great news about the completion of the second phase of our Tier 3 designed Greenhill Data Centre. ICE is the ideal opportunity to meet existing and potential clients and to explain the many unique opportunities we offer, both as the Isle of Man’s primary telecommunications provider and also as a supplier of international connectivity solutions to some of the eGaming industry’s largest operators. We can, of course, only support such highly demanding customers by investing in the correct infrastructure, services and people. Having already committed capital in excess of ?25m we are now the only provider on the Island which owns and operates two diverse Tier 3 designed data centres, and resilient high capacity fibre networks connecting them and businesses around Island.”

A key factor for offshore eGaming operators is the provision of cost effective access to high capacity, low latency, global internet transit. Designed to cater for the very highest demands of this exciting sector, Manx Telecom guarantees its clients high availability, low latency, global internet transit via multiple diverse carrier paths. Stephen adds: “With some of our biggest clients pushing in excess of 2 Gigabits per second of internet transit during peak events, maintaining availability and quality of service is critical. Equally important is providing high capacity transit at competitive rates. We would encourage operators, and particularly large operators looking at offshore markets, to benchmark our bandwidth pricing against other onshore and offshore jurisdictions. We know they’ll be presently surprised. Of course, underpinning all our offerings are the premier jurisdictional advantages, recognised by some of the industry’s largest eGaming operators, PokerStars and Paddy Power, which come from being licensed in the Isle of Man. ICE is the industry’s premier forum for networking, socialising, learning and doing business – so attending the expo is an important part of our strategy to explore new opportunities and build upon our already impressive portfolio of clients. It’s also the perfect place for us to join Isle of Man Government to help promote the Isle of Man as a world class jurisdiction for eGaming.”

Manx Telecom – hosting provider to the world’s largest poker sites PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, and Europe's largest bookmaker Paddy Power – has played a key role in the rapid growth of the Isle of Man’s eGaming sector. In the past 10 years it has invested ?110million in the Island’s telecoms infrastructure and has a proven capability to securely handle billions of pounds worth of transactions for eGaming clients. Most recently, the second phase development of its Greenhill Data Centre has provided a further 320 square metres of capacity for a number of client sectors including eGaming, government and financial services. The company also owns and operates its Douglas North Tier 3 data centre.

Manx Telecom will be represented at ICE by Stephen Kane together with eGaming Account Managers John Corrigan and Dan Walker on the Isle of Man Government stand number N5-320. For more information about Manx Telecom’s world class eGaming solutions go to www.manxtelecom.com/egaming.
