Apple's "Big-A–" Data Center
Apple’s (AAPL) plans to build a North Carolina data center will result in a massive facility that could signal its next big initiative, one data-center expert says.
The company announced the billion-dollar project in June, following state tax incentives aimed at it, but has said little about its goals since. On Wednesday, an Apple spokeswoman said, “We’re looking forward to beginning construction on our new data center in Maiden, N.C., in the coming weeks,” but declined further comment.
