Sites on this Campus:

Microsoft is developing a data center next to Vantage's Newport campus in Newport, Wales. The cloud giant has bought a one million square foot (92,900 sqm) factory, previously occupied by Quinn Radiators, a company that went bust in 2019.

  • The building is located virtually next door to Vantage's Newport campus - and both were factories for Korean firm LG Electronics till it pulled out of Wales 20 years ago.
  • JLL has been marketing the building and 40 acres of surrounding land. JLL had previously sold the building and leased it back to Quinn Radiators, in 2018. Quinn went into liquidation suddenly in 2019, with the loss of nearly 300 jobs.

Operating Company

Operated by:

Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.

Azure Regions

An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.

With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.

Geographies

An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.

Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.

Availability Zones

Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
