Apple Planning on Doubling Their Just Completed NC Data Center?
DataCenterKnowledge posts an aerial video of Apple's near-complete North Carolina Data Center. The Data Center is said to begin operations "any day now" according to local officials.
The video was posted by a local realtor who reports that Apple is rumored to already be expanding the newly completed data center.

There is a rumor that Apple will double the 500,000 square foot $1 Billion Data Center in North Carolina. Though there has been no official announcement, I discovered that site work is being performed and it clearly appears that there may be some truth to the speculation.
The rumor appeared both in Charlotte Business Journal and All Things Digital:With its 500,000 square feet of data center space (currently, sources tell me that Apple is considering doubling that) the facility has been built for something.
Doubling their data center so soon after construction would represent massive expansion. Apple has yet to officially confirm their plans for the data center.Top Rated Comments

can someone post a Google Maps link to the area where this data center is? I'm an urban planner and it's always interesting to see the surroundings of these kind of projects.

Can you imagine how many Xserves that place can hold? Apple has got to be their own best customer.

Just go into Maiden, NC on Google maps and search for Apple. They don't have current Aerial photos, though.

Looks like a lot of nice farmland around the data center. I wonder how the neighbors feel about it. The traffic down that road is going to increase dramatically.
