Apple Plans $1 Billion iDataCenter

Posted by kdawson on from the swimming-with-the-big-fish dept.

1sockchuck writes "Apple is planning a major East Coast data center to boost the capacity of its online operations, and may invest more than $1 billion in building and operating the huge server farm. That's nearly twice what Google and Microsoft typically invest in their massive cloud computing centers. The scope of the project raises interesting questions about Apple's plans, and has politicians in North Carolina jumping through hoops to pass incentives to win the project. The proposed NC incentives build on a package for Google that later proved controversial."

    Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to boost the capacity of your online operations is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
