Avand in vedere ca in ultimele zile serviciile celor de la Apple au fost afectate de diverse probleme care au drept cauza serverele ce le sustin, unii si-au indreptat atentia catre imensul centru de date Apple din Carolina de Nord. Acolo cei de la Wired, vigilenti din fire, au descoperit ca o hala de vreo cativa mii de metri patrati ascunde ceva, un secret important. Respectiva cladire ar fi un centru de date tactic in care partenerii pot intra dupa ce trec prin catre filtre de securitate, iar apoi sunt directionati catre o camera unde pot accesa o parte dintre datele Apple, accesul fiind oferit pentru incheierea unor eventuale parteneriate.
This 11-room facility seems to have a few extra security measures. It includes “man traps,” meaning that visitors will have to walk through two sets of security doors to get inside, and it’s bordered by its own 8-foot chain-link fence. Those five long white units at the bottom of the photo are diesel backup generators. Nobody knows exactly what an Apple tactical data center is supposed to be, but according to Rackspace Chief Technology Officer John Engates, who has spent his fair share of time in windowless buildings racked with servers, it may be a neutral spot where Apple partners can come and plug their gear into Apple’s grid without getting any exposure to the fantastic secrets housed in the larger 500,000-square-foot facility.
Avand in vedere ca serviciile Apple incep sa mearga din ce in ce mai prost in ultima vreme, cred ca mai interesant ar fi sa vedem ce masuri ia Apple pentru a rezolva totul, dar secretele bine pazite s-au dovedit a fi intotdeauna in centrul atentiei.
