Initial clients of the enormous NGD Europe facility include Logica and BT . Both companies occupy an entire data hall , but there is still plenty of extra room in the 750,000 sq ft data centre . NGD Europe was originally constructed to house a semiconductor plant , and the infrastructure left there was an excellent start for the next generation of tenants . When fully fleshed out , NGD has the ability to house 19,000 cabinets of storage and servers . It can also easily house pods for private data centres and installations for data centre containers .

This virtual data fortress was built in downtown Miami in 2001 . 750,000 sq ft of space for data now helps to connect Latin America with the southeastern United States . The facility is used as infrastructure for the American military as well as the system that organises global domain names . The facility is sturdier than most , made to stand in the face of a Category 5 hurricane . The outside is covered by seven-inch concrete panels reinforced with steel , and with good reason . There are more than 160 networks that call this facility a central hub .
