Apple Scores Data Centers in Newark, Santa Clara

by , 10:10 AM EST, February 27th, 2006

Apple recently acquired a 107,000 square-foot data center in Newark, California for somewhere between US$45 and $50 million. According to the San Jose Business Journal, the facility was originally built for MCI WorldCom in 2001 and has never been occupied. The company also grabbed a 90,000 square-foot facility in Santa Clara, California.

Apple is not stating what it intends to use the facilities for, but they are most commonly used as highly redundant data storage and processing centers.

Apple also recently signed a deal for a 116,830 square-foot office center in on Ridgeview Court in Cupertino.

[This story has been updated to show that Newark is in California]

The San Jose Times assumes that its local readers know that Newark is in the San Francisco Bay Area. Had they meant New Jersey, they would have said so. Next up, a data center in Pittsburg (not in Pennsylvania)

Hmmm, big announcement from Apple tomorrow, something "Fun." Could be video, among other things.
