    Is Apple About to Unleash the iDataCenter? Steve Jobs’ keynotes have been a boon to technology blogs, but have historically wreaked havoc with uptime at MacWorldExpo and Twitter web sites. Perhaps not so much anymore. Apple announced last night that it would live stream video coverage of today’s highly-anticipated product announcement (to Mac users, anyway). Hmmm … that sounds like that might require some serious infrastructure. Leander Kahney at Cult of Mac writes that today’s webcast will be used to load test the capabilities of Apple’s enormous new iDataCenter in North Carolina. “The broadcast will likely involve hundreds of thousands of simultaneous live video streams, maybe more,” ...

    Dell Hawks Its New Modular Data Center Dell has been relatively quiet about its modular data-center products, but on Tuesday it showed off a new design it has started selling to large "hyperscale" customers, which include big Internet firms like Microsoft and Facebook. The first modular data centers, including one shown by Dell two years ago, used standard shipping containers to house servers and other IT gear. The containers are sturdy, relatively cheap and highly portable, but some vendors have found them a little inflexible.
