Again we have to talk about changes in the direct leadership of Apple. Last Friday we echoed the news about the change in the senior vice presidency of legal and global security, where Bruce Sevell left the position that will be filled by Katherine Adams. Now it is the turn of the head of iCloud infrastructure, Erick Bilingsley, who leaves the company so that his position is filled by Patrick gates, who until now is in charge of the service infrastructure, according to CNBC, who is It has gone headlong in all things iCloud in recent years.
Erick was in charge of overseeing the back-end of iCloud, the section where information requests are processed for 4 years. He joined the company in 2013 from Google, although he had previously been working at eBay. Patrick will take on Erick's job, in addition to what he already had. According to CNBC Apple wants to set the course once and for all in iCloud. Apple currently uses Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure servers for the back-end, but this policy change could indicate that Apple you want to start working directly with your data centers.
A little over a year ago, the first news about the McQueen project leaked, a project in which Apple works to create your own backend and thus reduce your dependence on Microsoft and Amazon. But this project is not the only one in which the company is working to depend on itself and use its servers, since throughout this year, it has been known that Apple is working on six similar projects. It is clear that the investment you are making in new data centers has to pay off in some way.
