Apple's cloud data ends up on the competition

Icloud for its online data service capabilities, Apple Server at
Microsoft and Amazon are rented, a British news site reported. But why
then is the billions of expensive data center, which the Group has just
built yourself?

Cologne - Who would have thought that Apple once the competition is not
on the way meets a legal action delivery? To a smooth launch of its
service data clouds "icloud" to ensure that engineers in Cupertino do
not rely on their own inventions. Rather than reinventing the wheel,
they prefer to rely on proven techniques in the field of Internet
services. So the Amazon Web service and Microsoft's Azure is dressed as
a corset, to run the icloud infrastructure from the beginning without
any lag. Image-damaging stumbles, as in 2008 with the introduction of
the MobileMe online service, should be avoided.

Currently, the participating programmers working on the basis of a beta
version released in August. By the end of the year, icloud are available
for users to, wants to have "The Register" to find out.

For the observer results in some very interesting questions. The first
is that of the customer data. Because the are now managed jointly by
Apple and Microsoft for icloud. The second question is then, Apple may
have the interest because of software like Azure, the far more of a
perpetual wallflower to give such a strong appreciation. After all,
Apple goes so not in a dependency on one supplier.

The third question is "Business Insider": If icloud with the help of
Amazon and Microsoft is running, which can then, Apple has recently put
in the middle of a huge data center in North Carolina, the green lawn?
Especially since the complex was originally designed for the handling of
the icloud service. Maybe Apple will use the competition-aid only in
exceptional cases, for backup, and similar purposes, one possible
answer. Cupertino wants to set or only during a transition period for
foreign services at its data center to have endured at the beginning of
the usual childhood diseases.

Perhaps, however, Apple has made just a huge, empty building into the
landscape, to instill a proper fear of the competitors.
