iGaming news | Gibtelecom launches operations in Malta
Gibtelecom, a global provider of data center facilities, managed solutions and cloud services, has launched a full suite of services from its latest “point of presence” in Malta.
This cements Gibtelecom’s position as a trusted provider of co-location and cloud services to the igaming and wider business community, including financial services and communications.
Gibtelecom, headquartered in Gibraltar, currently operates cloud hubs and hosting facilities in Gibraltar, London, Dublin, Malta and Malaysia. Its points of presence are connected through a private global network to provide truly global service capabilities across three continents.
The facility, which offers hosting, managed solutions (including managed security) and a full range of cloud services, will be directly connected to the company’s main network.
This ensures established links for Maltese businesses with their operations in Asia, Europe and the Middle East and with other key first-tier suppliers.
Built to tier.three specifications, the data center facilities are PCI and ISO:27001 compliant and connected to an extra resilient global IP backbone.
Malta Gaming Authority rules require that, while remote gaming operators can have their equipment and servers located anywhere in the EU/EEA, there must still be a direct copy of ‘ any database including information about players and financial and gaming transactions within Malta itself. .
This is a requirement in order to obtain a Maltese gaming licence. With decades of experience serving the gaming industry, Gibtelecom’s services are fully compliant with Maltese gaming regulations, making it an excellent solution for operators based in Malta.
Gibtelecom prides itself on being a responsive and agile partner to its business customers, with industry-leading support SLAs and dedicated account managers and pre-sales consultants.
It has recently strengthened its sales team with the appointment of an experienced gaming professional as its business development manager based in Malta.
Andrea Thorvaldsen (pictured) has a ten-year career in the gaming industry, including setting up a gaming operation in Malta, and has worked with many leading organizations and regulatory authorities on the island.
During this time, she gained a true understanding of what the industry requires. Thorvaldsen said: “It’s really exciting to join an expanding organization that provides global solutions for some of the biggest gaming brands in the world.
“I look forward to working with the wider Gibtelecom team to support our customers with our world-class end-to-end solutions and provide truly tailored offerings to meet their requirements.
“Malta is a leading jurisdiction for igaming and we can offer a wide range of services with a global network designed to maximize performance and security and a range of high performance cloud services.”
