JT picked up the Best Go-to-Market Cloud Strategy Award in the inaugural Telco Cloud Forum Awards held in London on 10th May 2016.
Recognising the most successful Telco Cloud Projects of the year, the Awards formed part of the seventh annual Telco Cloud Forum conference. JT’s unique eGaming Cloud Platform, and compelling go-to-market strategy was chosen by the judges, who stated that: “JT’s innovative gaming service illustrates how powerful the combination of cloud and networking assets can be when service providers really focus on market needs.”
JT launched its Cloud Platform in 2014 in response to the growing requirement for Cloud support for the global gaming sector and after a rigorous two-stage assessment by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), it became the first of its kind to officially reach the approved standards. Backed by regulator approval, JT presented its solution as the most secure and reliable option for any eGaming licensee choosing the Channel Islands to host its business critical data.
The platform itself, although based in the Channel Islands, is also part of a global cloud federation, which covers another 24 countries and is ‘best of breed’ for not only eGaming, but all types of businesses and sectors of all sizes.
Paul D Taylor, MD of JT, said: “We are really proud to have won this important industry award which further bolsters our efforts to become Cloud partner of choice for the global eGaming industry. This recognition also reinforces the uniqueness of our eGaming Cloud offering, which was an extension of our existing world-class datacentre and hosting facilities in the Channel Islands and created in direct response to growth in this important sector.
“I’d like to congratulate our eGaming Team for all their hard work in creating a superior Cloud Platform which provides a secure environment for both established and start-up eGaming organisations under regulation. Supporting the eGaming sector is proving to be a real growth area for JT and we will continue to innovate to deliver the services our customers rely upon to move forward.”
JT has invested over £50million in its Channel Island based Data Centre facilities and off-island fibre connectivity, and operates the largest Tier 1 telecommunications infrastructure in the Channel Islands. It holds an AGCC Data Centre Hosting Certificate License and its data centres are the only Service Organisation Certification (SOC) accredited in the Channel Islands.
The JT Cloud service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) (utility based) was the first Channel Island enterprise-class cloud offering allowing companies of any size to place critical data services and applications into JT’s state-of-the-art Data Centres.
