Michael Tobin, CEO of Continent 8 said: “We have opened the doors to our newest data center location in readiness for the go live date of the new Portuguese regulation, with the first customers already live.”
Diverse geographical routes into Continent 8’s private and highly secure location connects the Lisbon facility to the company’s global backbone, which connects to 12 data centre locations and geographically diverse network points of presence across three continents.
Continent 8 customers can securely link all markets and locations from which they operate under a single, redundant network that provides predictable service levels and high availability, all with a single partner.
Peter Williams, Global Sales Director of Continent 8 said, “Continent 8’s strategy is to meet the regulatory requirements of our customers through the provision of services in all markets within which they operate. Expansion into new locations has always been driven by regulation and our customers’ requirements.”
