PACNET LAUNCHES PAN ASIAN DATA CENTRE PLAN AMID RUMOURED IPO

One of the largest data centre facilities in Europe has been completed ahead of schedule, its developers have said. Next Generation Data Europe is behind the project for a 75,000 sq m facility at the former LG Semicon plant outside Newport. The two large-scale custom built data halls for BT and Logica have been completed in “record time” at the NGD Europe tier three mega-data centre in South Wales, which means both anchor tenants can start managed services operations ahead of schedule.

It follows Next Generation Data winning long-term contracts from BT and Logica last autumn worth more than £20 million for the provision of space and infrastructure at NGD Europe. Build-outs for both client organisations were finished in less than 16 weeks compared to the industry average of 24 weeks and in spite of the “challenging” weather conditions during late December and early January.
