Apple's New iCloud Data Center and Solar Farm - Maiden, North Carolina - YouTube


There is a land under construction on the left, and a building is already built on the right side. This is Apple's North Carolina data center. The center already operates as a part supporting iCloud.


Here is the land where Apple has begun to formulate. It is about 690,000 square meters in size, about 15 pieces in the Tokyo Dome, but it can not be imaged at all, but the size of the Vatican City (440,000 square meters) is as large as it fits comfortably.


A solar farm (photovoltaic power plant) of 20 megawatts class is built here and it is scheduled to send electricity to the next data center etc.


The data center is also big enough for one Tokyo Dome


The small size of the car stopped in front of the building is not a minicar but rather a sesame grain level ......


This is a movie on the way of building a data center. The cars of many construction stakeholders are stopped, and the size of the building is well transmitted.
