Internet Vikings has emerged as a leading provider of iGaming and sports betting hosting solutions, offering a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the unique needs of its clients.
With a strong focus on acting as a partner rather than just a provider, discover what Kristoffer Ottosson, the Chief Operating Officer of Internet Vikings, has to share about the company's core values, market expansion, cloud hosting, proactive monitoring, and the benefits of cloud agnostic platforms for the iGaming industry.
Internet Vikings prides itself on being a partner to its clients. Could you elaborate on your services and how it differentiates you from other providers in the industry?
Kristoffer: At Internet Vikings, we believe in forging long-term partnerships with our clients. Our services revolve around taking full control of hosting their operations, allowing them to focus on their inner competencies. We provide end-to-end solutions, guiding our clients through the complex landscape of iGaming and sports betting regulations. By leveraging our expertise, we help them navigate the intricacies of different states, ensuring they remain compliant and operational. This partnership approach sets us apart from other providers, as we go beyond the conventional role of a vendor and actively contribute to our clients' success.
We’ve heard this before, but it cannot be ignored, the U.S. market is rapidly expanding in the online gaming sectors. How does Internet Vikings enable its clients to tap into this growth, and what are your plans for expanding your footprint?
Kristoffer: Geographical freedom is a crucial aspect of our service offering. We empower our clients to enter and operate within the United States market seamlessly. By providing a solid infrastructure and the necessary technical support, we allow them to target specific states that allow iGaming and sports betting. As the market continues to evolve, we are working diligently to expand our footprint, ensuring our clients can capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Internet Vikings is known for its VMware-based cloud hosting. What advantages does this bring to your clients in the industry?
Kristoffer: VMware-based cloud hosting is a key component of our infrastructure. This technology offers flexibility, scalability, and security to our clients. By utilizing VMware, we enable our clients to scale their operations, seamlessly accommodating traffic spikes during peak periods. Moreover, the robust security features inherent in VMware's architecture safeguard sensitive user data and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Could you tell us more about your approach to networking and how it benefits your clients?
Kristoffer: We do not rely on middlemen for bandwidth provision. Instead, we partner with top-tier 1 providers, ensuring low latency and exceptional redundancy. By eliminating intermediaries, we reduce potential points of failure, resulting in a more stable and reliable network environment. Our clients can rest assured that their operations will run smoothly, delivering a seamless user experience to their customers.
How has Internet Vikings adapted its monitoring to meet the evolving needs of the industry?
Kristoffer: The industry shows us that there has to be a shift from reactive to proactive monitoring. We have implemented a vigorous and proactive monitoring system that keeps a close eye on critical aspects that could impact the user experience. We monitor factors such as server performance, network stability, and any potential issues that may interfere with our clients' operations. By adopting this proactive attitude, we can swiftly address any emerging concerns, ensuring uninterrupted service.
In terms of the benefits of cloud agnostic platforms, could you elaborate on the advantages that such platforms offer?
Kristoffer: Cloud-agnostic platforms are a game-changer for the industry. They provide flexibility, allowing businesses to seamlessly migrate between different cloud service providers or even operate simultaneously across multiple providers. This flexibility offers numerous benefits, including cost optimization, scalability, and reduced vendor lock-in. With a cloud-agnostic approach, businesses can choose the best cloud environment for their specific needs and leverage the strengths of different providers.
Internet Vikings is set to become the favored partner in the U.S., working closely with clients to understand their unique needs, challenges, and goals and provide tailored solutions, reliable support, and a deep understanding of our clients' businesses.
