Apple is building a data center on HP technology and collects user database

In a demonstration of the famous data center in North Carolina Apple CEO Steve Jobs has allocated very little time and only 8 slides, three of which showed the interior of a grand new building. Most likely, the main purpose of the Data Center - Support for the new service cloud services iCloud.

One of the clues in the search for the characteristic red steel latch drives - this design refinement typical of servers Hewlett Packard. Stephen Foskett confirmed the hunch that recognize one of the slides for at least two models - the HP ProLiant odnoyunitovuyu. DL360. and a two- rack unit HP ProLiant. DL380 G7. Larry Dignan of ZDNet says that the contents of cabinets under the other servers do not correspond to any. IBM servers. Or Cisco, or Oracle, or Dell- machine. , Except that. Supermicro, but this is very inaccurate assumption.

Analysis of another spectacular shot once again confirmed the statement at the presentation of Jobs ' we' is not a joke joke ... Such a system can fit into these futuristic cabinet, according to Robin Harris from ZDNet. These machines are likely to be used for the processing of analytical data, and not for storage, for example, analysis of queries from Internet shops, and so on geoanalitika. It is believed that Apple will consolidate information about where and what you buy, and there is already included fans of conspiracy theories, just think about the recent history of tracking the owners of the iPhone.

Finally - an important observation: racks on slides for the most part closed 1-U plugs, so that there is still a lot of free space. Either it is made for cooling, or in front - a big upgrade.
