Next Generation Data has invested up to £200million to create one of Europe’s largest and most technically advanced data centres. Known as NGD 1, the 70,000 sq metre facility which has been leased from the Welsh Assembly Government is divided into 18 private halls with dedicated infrastructure, making it ideal for companies who want to store large volumes of data in a highly secure, green environment which can guarantee abundant power now and into the future.

Unlike most existing data centres, NGD 1 has a dedicated power supply with a direct connection to a Primary Substation with a 400,000 volt output, giving clients the ability to site power hungry applications like blade servers in high volumes.

NGD 1 is divided into series of 18 private halls which will give companies an exclusive, dedicated secure data centre within a very large, secure state of the art building. The site has attracted the attention of major blue chip clients who need large and flexible space allocations for new technologies at a cost effective price point.

"Data Centres are the motorways of the 21st Century. They encourage economic development in the same way that motorways did in the 20th Century and the railways in the 19th Century. They are an absolutely critical tool for economic growth, and that's why I am so pleased that we have secured this development,” commented Wales’ First Minister, Rhodri Morgan. "This major investment will create up to 100 high skilled jobs, and is a big vote of confidence in Wales.”
