Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) left Apple's board of directors. According to Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), this step is caused by the fact that Google has with its products - a smartphone browser Chrome and Android - infringes on Apple's business. But it seems that things are different, and that Apple is invading the territory to Google. This view is confirmed by the fact that in late August, Apple plans to create a huge computer center in Maiden, pcs. North Carolina, USA.
Rich Miller (Rich Miller), a resource editor of Data Center Knowledge, in an interview with Cult of Mac website nominated their version of what was happening.
The size of the data center will be 4.5 hectares, it is one of the biggest areas for the data center. Even Google has such centers tend to be smaller in size (the leader is there to call Microsoft, which builds in Illinois data center area of 6.5 hectares).
In this case, the question arises: why Apple such an impressive data center? Quite possibly, it opens, to support the company's growing business MobileMe online stores and iTunes. However, Miller has a different opinion on this score. He believes that Apple plans to penetrate to the "cloud" system of online services. A run applications in the cloud requires a massive infrastructure, like Google. "Cloud" services - a popular trend and a profitable business, so it would be strange if Apple would have never thought about working in this field.
