Next Generation Data Ltd announces it has secured significant debt finance facilities from Lombard, the asset finance arm of The Royal Bank of Scotland. This is to help support the investment required for infrastructure equipment to fit out data halls inside the massive 75,000 sq metre building for the company’s first major blue chip customers. These are moving their extensive data centre operations into NGD Europe from early next year.

The £200 million project commenced eighteen months ago to convert the former LG Electronics semiconductor plant near Newport, South Wales, into a state-of-the-art Tier 3 data centre. NGD Europe has the flexibility to accommodate the current and future expansion requirements of the very largest corporate customers as befits a true next generation data centre. UK and overseas organizations with several older data centre sites that have become too small or constrained by lack of power now have the opportunity to consolidate their operations under NGD Europe which offers some of the best value available within its existing infrastructure.

NGD Europe is one of the biggest and best equipped data centres in Europe and among its many unique features is a high capacity 180 MVA power supply direct from the super grid which ensures significantly more capacity than typical data centres, as well as on-site high-speed, low latency fibre network connections from the major telecoms carriers. Inside the massive three-floor 75,000 sq metre building a number of separate data halls of varying sizes are available all with independent services, resilient power supply and cooling systems.

Capable of housing up to 19,000 server racks, NGD Europe has been purpose built to support the high level technology infrastructure necessary to meet growing global demand for secure, environmentally-friendly data storage and processing.
