The site shared nearly 50 photos captured from inside the data center, filled with racks and racks of the servers that power Apple services. The images provide glimpses at Apple's server setup, cabling, cooling operations, cleaning rooms, and more.

"Reno plays an incredibly important role in the products and services that we provide our customers worldwide. Without the data center here, none of this would be possible."Apple's presence in Reno kicked off in 2012 with the construction of its data center. As part of that deal Apple was required to build a facility in the downtown Reno tourism improvement district, hence the warehouse.

Because nothing says downtown tourism like a warehouse for a data center.

A data center in the hottest state in America? Great news for air conditioning suppliers.
Much easier to cool a hot and dry climate compared to a hot and humid climate like Texas or Florida. Plus Reno is at an elevation of 4500 feet, so it's not as hot as you think.

Reno is a dry high altitude location. Average temp in July is 70ºF. http://www.rssweather.com/climate/Nevada/Reno/Lots of sun for solar panels. It's a great location.

Next up, moving away from AWS and hosting their own iCloud services. Good to see the economy moving in the right direction.

It's about 50 degrees here today during the warmest part of the day. Reno is not at all like Las Vegas. I am looking out my window at a 10,700' mountain in Reno.

Why isn't Tim back at HQ helping the rest of the team dig itself out of the security holes they've made for themselves recently in MacOS!?
Because that's SVP Craig Federighi's domain.
You may not know that CEOs generally have people below them who are far more qualified to understand, tackle, direct, and solve engineering issues that arise from time to time.

I think you're confusing Las Vegas and Reno. While it does get hot in Reno in the summer too, it's nothing crazy.[ Read All Comments ]
