Michal Marek According to server reports 9to5Mac.com Apple is preparing another gigantic data center, which this time will be located in Hong Kong. Construction should start in the first quarter of 2013, and the construction itself should take me more than a year. This new area for Apple's data storage should be put into operation in 2015. At Apple, of course, the need for space for data storage is growing, mainly thanks to iCloud, which has more and more users. Undoubtedly, Apple's stores with digital content - App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store and iBooks Store - also have a huge data volume.
Hong Kong is an ideal location for the location of a data center, which is also known by other large corporations with Google at the head.
Hong Kong offers an ideal combination of reliable energy infrastructure, cheap and skilled labor and a location right in the center of Asia. As with all our facilities around the world, Hong Kong was chosen after very thorough analysis. We take into account many technical and other aspects including reasonable business regulations.
Apple sees great potential in the Chinese market and wants to expand into this area in all directions. Hong Kong is more than suitable for an invasion of China due to its political situation and special status with a high degree of autonomy. Hong Kong is definitely more open and welcoming to the Western world than the mainland of totalitarian China. Tim Cook has already spoken many times about the importance of the business conquest of this Asian giant, and the construction of a data center in Hong Kong could be one of the many small but important steps.
Apple currently stores and stores its data in Newark, California and Maiden, North Carolina. The construction of other data centers is already planned in Reno, Nevada and Prineville, Oregon.
If only they had made a proper map
jn satellite maps in the Czech Republic are completely useless (I like the classic maps, the traffic situation and accidents are also good) ... you still have a lot of work ahead of you (e.g. find Prague and drive around every square that is differently lit, with divisible crossings, and what's more, it's so messy that you don't even know if there is a road or not)
And the EU again nothing :-/
