Apple is expanding its Internet infrastructure
with a new data center in Silicon Valley, as it
prepares to bring additional server and storage
capacity online later this year. The new server
space provides additional data center capacity at
a time when Apple is rumored to be preparing a
cloud computing service. DuPont Fabros disclosed
the Santa Clara lease in its first quarter
earnings, but did not reveal the name of the
tenant, which is consistent with its policies.

In a conference call with analysts, company
executives described the tenant as a Fortune 50
technology company with excellent credit. But
multiple industry sources have since confirmed
that the tenant is Apple. The lease appears to be
Apples first investment in wholesale data center
space. In the wholesale data center model, a
tenant leases a dedicated, fully-built data
center space. This approach is attractive for
companies that need to deploy additional data
center space quickly, as wholesale space can be
delivered more rapidly than building a new data
center.

Most wholesale leases are now priced in power
capacity rather than square footage. The Silicon
Valley lease works out to about 11,000 square
feet of data center space. By comparison, the
iDataCenter in Maiden, North Carolina is 500,000
square feet, and includes more than 184,000
square feet of data center space, according to
records filed with local officials.
