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.
IT and technology company Wipro is set to create hundreds of new jobs when it opens a new facility near London. It is planning a new software development facility in the south-east, probably outside London.
Wipro plans to increase the number of jobs at its Reading base by 200 to reach full capacity. It will then look to open another delivery centre in the UK, at a location yet to be decided but current considerations include Birmingham, Warwick and Edinburgh. It is thought the office will be opened in the next two years.
