It has been confirmed that 100 hi-tech jobs will be created as part of a £200m data centre project for South Wales. Next Generation Date will create Europe’s largest and most technically advanced ‘green’ data-centre in Newport.
It will be only the second data centre in Wales, the other being BT’s centre in Cardiff. Data centres house the hardware, software and high speed communication connections required to run customers websites, intranets and other e-commerce facilities in a highly secure and managed environment.
