Apple is in the process of establishing a new datacenter presence in Silicon Valley, industry sources say. Specifically the people claim that Apple has signed a seven-year lease with a third-party Santa Clara center run by DuPont Fabros Technology. The lease includes 2.28MW of critical power load, and is scheduled to begin in the third quarter after the center is opened. The lease has technically been public knowledge since DuPont Fabros' Q1 results call, but at the time the signer was identified only as a "Fortune 50 technology company with excellent credit."
