Wondering what Apple might do with its billions of dollars of profit each quarter?
I think they’ve been telling us for a while, and it fits in really nicely with some of the concerns people have had about Apple for a long while.
the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is going to be building a data command center in Arizona in the husk of GT Advanced Technologies. Not a bad ending for that sordid affair.
Along with the data center itself, there are plans for a 70 megawatt solar array to be put on/near the site to provide power, much like the North Carolina data center they are also expanding. They also have data centers under construction in Oregon and Nevada.
It takes a lot of up-front capital to try to get these sorts of facilities off of the ground and Apple has cash.
