NestIt often happens that Apple allowed someone from the public to look into their data centers or other "internal" buildings. But he made an exception for The Arizona Republic newspaper editors who toured the Arizona data center.

The building covers 120 square meters, which are filled with long corridors with countless servers on the sides. According to AppThis is a global data "headquarters" that employs a total of 150 employees.ancThey work in ten-hour shifts, overseeing the proper operation of the entire center.

From the outside you wouldn't know it was a building Applu. You would only see dark walls overgrown with vines and, of course, security guards at the entrance to the parking lot. Inside are dozens of rows of large, humming electronics. They are cooled by a large number of fans located on the ceiling. The editors of The Arizona Republic were allowed to take several photos, which you can see in the gallery, but the employeesanci Applu didn't give them many details about what exactly was going on inside the building. Of course, due to data security concerns.

This is what the bowels of the Arizona data center look like:

Apple began building the data center in 2014. The building previously housed the company GT Advanced, which produced sapphire glass for Apple products. Hundreds of employeesancwere out of work after the company went bankrupt, but Apple created new jobs by opening a data center. The transformation into a command data center continues to this day, the last time several halls with servers were added this April.
