(Telecompaper) Apple will build its first data centre in China to support services such as iCloud for local users. The project is also designed to help Apple comply with Chinese laws that require global companies to store information within the country. The new data center will be entirely based on renewable energy, and will be built and run in cooperation with Guizhou on the Cloud Big Data, Bloomberg reports, citing an Apple statement. Apple also said it intends to migrate Chinese users' information, now stored elsewhere, to the new facility in coming months.
