Apple to build new data center in Hong KongSeptember 18, 2012 - 23:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Hong Kong will apparently become home for a new Apple data center. As the VentureBeat reports citing a post on 9to5Mac, Apple will join Google in building out a data center in the Hong Kong Administrative region. Construction is scheduled to begin early next year, and the data center should be complete by 2015. Apple does a huge and fast-growing amount of business in China, which controls Hong Kong, selling more smartphones in China than the U.S., achieving a higher market share for iPads in China than anywhere else in the world, and opening new stores in China this year. The location is apparently in Hong Kong’s “New Territories,” which are the rural, less densely populated region of Hong Kong. Still, population density is relative — the New Territories hold 67,000 people per square mile. That may not sound very rural, and it’s not: New York City has a population density of 26,403. The new data center will join existing facilities in Newark, California, North Carolina, and planned data centers in Nevada and Prineville, Oregon.
