Continent 8 extends Nutanix deal to roll out multitenant cloud for iGaming

The partners say Continent 8 will be an early commercial deployer of Nutanix Service Provider Central, announced in April 2026.

Continent 8 Technologies has extended its partnership with Nutanix to expand cloud options for regulated iGaming and online sports betting operators, including multitenant and AI-ready capabilities.

A central element of the expanded collaboration is Continent 8’s role as an early access partner for Nutanix Service Provider Central (SP Central), Nutanix’s multitenant cloud platform first announced in April 2026. Continent 8 said it plans to be among the first service providers to deploy a commercial service leveraging SP Central, combining Nutanix’s multitenant tooling with Continent 8’s operational governance model to maintain oversight across customer environments.

Mike Small, Chief Executive Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Today's announcement reflects the strength of our relationship with Nutanix and our shared vision for the future of enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and services.”

Edward O'Connor, Chief Technology Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, added: "Our relationship with Nutanix is much deeper than a traditional vendor relationship. For several years, our engineering and product teams have worked side-by-side to help shape solutions that address real-world service provider and customer requirements.”

Nutanix said the partnership is aimed at helping service providers scale enterprise cloud services for highly regulated industries. “We are excited to collaborate with Continent 8 to bring enterprise cloud services powered by Nutanix to highly regulated industries. Our collaboration with Continent 8 is a prime example of how we are empowering service providers to build and scale cloud services. By leveraging the Nutanix Cloud Platform and SP Central and their multitenant capabilities, Continent 8 is equipped to deliver the operational simplicity, security, and performance that their customers demand and need,” said Sachin Chheda, Vice President, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Nutanix.

Continent 8 also pointed to prior customer deployments using Nutanix, including a VMware-to-Nutanix migration for Sportingtech that the company said avoided a projected rise in virtualization costs while maintaining security, performance and compliance requirements in regulated markets.
