Tobin said: “When Continent 8 decided to invest in Ireland and expand our global data centre footprint we looked for a facility that had comprehensive and diverse connectivity, while deploying the latest in data centre cooling technologies to drive overall efficiency for our customers.

“This facility allows us to deliver on these requirements and continue to develop our global portfolio of managed services and solutions to the online gaming industry.”
