Data centers are a fundamental part for any company that offers any type of online service. Currently, Apple has at its disposal different data centers of its own in the United States in addition to use space from Google and Amazon to meet the needs of your customers.
A year ago, after several years of planning and investment, Apple decided to cancel plans to create a data center in Ireland, a data center that had planned an investment of 1.000 million dollars, but that due to neighborhood opposition decided to abandon the idea. The data center planned for Denmark has followed the same path.
Apple owns a data center and data center in Denmark that would not be alone when Apple will begin construction plans for a second data center, something that ultimately will not happen. One of Denmark's main attractions for locating a new data center is the large number of renewable energy, mainly wind.
As announced by the Aabenraa city council, the town where the new data center was planned to be installed, Apple is seeking a buyer for the 700 acres of land that he had previously purchased in order to build this new data center.
This move by Apple is particularly striking because, according to the local council, He had worked closely with Apple to carry out the project in recent years. The decision to abandon construction comes directly from the offices in Cupertino and is due to strategic reasons.
With the cancellation of this new data center, Apple definitively cancels the plans it had planned for Europe in this regard, and will appear to focus on creating new data centers in the United States as well as continuing to collaborate with both Google and Amazon.
