Apple Planning on Doubling Their Just Completed NC Data Center?
DataCenterKnowledge posts an aerial video of Apple's near-complete North Carolina Data Center. The Data Center is said to begin operations "any day now" according to local officials.

Doubling their data center so soon after construction would represent massive expansion. Apple has yet to officially confirm their plans for the data center.
