You can see a much bigger iDataCenter now. Though no much details has been provided but after going through some articles and reports I can say that the center is 5 times bigger than the Apple’s existing which is 109,000 sq.ft, Newark, California.

We got to know some broad details about the hardware and software that will be powering the new iDataCenter, much of which is provided by companies other than Apple by the Jobs posting in a Website.
Here is the posting for you, which Steve Jobs posted:

• Data center environment consists of MacOS X, IBM/AIX, Linux and SUN/Solaris systems.
• The Maiden facility will have a “heavy emphasis” on high availability technologies, including IBM’s HACMP and HAGEO solutions for high-availability clusters, Veritas Cluster Server, and Oracle’s DataGuard and Real Application Clusters.
• To be familiar with storage systems using IBM, NetApp and Data Domain, and data warehousing systems from Teradata.
• Networking positions require a familiarity with Brocade and Qlogic switches.

From this we could make out Steve Jobs still to be public about the matter, so he posted in a website, keeping beside the other media. Because its on the plan card still to be strictly amended though.

Apple is building a massive new data center in North Carolina. But why will Apple invest $1 billion in their new 500,000 sq ft iDataCenter? What will be the purpose of this new iDataCenter, which is almost 5 times bigger then Apple’s data center in Newark, California.

“Apple’s data center in Maiden is expected to provide the back-end for a larger move into cloud computing, with most speculation focusing on a shift of iTunes user libraries from user desktops to online storage.”
