Northern Virginia Sees Proliferation of Data Storage Projects

SUGAR LAND--August 2, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Every day the demand for data storage space increases as more users buy more powerful smart devices and connect them to the world through the Internet.
