First Look: Apple’s Massive 500,000 square foot Data Center (Video)

[DaveSW]

How big is Apple’s new iDataCenter in Maiden, North Carolina? It’s plenty big, as illustrated by this aerial video posted to YouTube (apparently taken by an area realtor) of the 500,000 square foot facility. The new $1 billion data center will be nearly five times the size of Apple’s existing 109,000 square foot Newark, Calif. facility, and is seen as a key component of Apple’s cloud computing strategy. The video is brief (about 35 seconds), but provides an interesting perspective on the new facility.

Note to all: turn your sound down!

That's massive, it sounded massive but this certainly puts it into perspective.

Looks like it won't be ready for a while either.

Roads in aren't built yet.
