Daniel Hruska Ngonyaka odlule, i-Apple yaqeda ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo sedatha eMaiden, North Carolina, noma kunjalo, umsebenzi wokwakha uyaqhubeka nxazonke. Ngokufika kwe-iOS 5 ne-iCloud, isidingo sokugcina idatha yomsebenzisi sikhule ngokushesha, njengoba wonke umuntu ethola u-5 GB wesikhala mahhala ngayo yonke i-akhawunti ye-iCloud. Kwakukhona ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2012 zalawa ma-akhawunti ngo-April 125.
Bonke abadlali abakhulu ku-IT bazi kahle kakhulu ngokubaluleka kwezixazululo zefu esikhathini esizayo esiseduze, futhi ngisho ne-Apple ayikwazanga ukushiywa ngemuva. Umthwebuli wezithombe uGarrett Fisher ugibele endizeni wathatha izithombe zeNtombazane. Ngaphezu kwe-colossus esele isiphelile esebenzisa ama-megawatts angu-20, kunezinye izakhiwo eziningana eziseduze.
- Isikhungo se-biogas esingu-4,8 megawatt? Cabanga nje okwamanje...
- Isiteshi esingaphansi
- Ikhaya le-iCloud - isikhungo sedatha esingamahektare angama-464
- Isikhungo sedatha esihlakaniphile
- Ipulazi lelanga elingamahektha angama-40
I-Apple ibilokhu ikwenyanya ukuthembela kubathengisi bezinkampani zangaphandle. Ngokusobala okufanayo kuyasebenza nasekusetshenzisweni kukagesi. Ngokwezilinganiso, ama-solar panel kufanele akwazi ukukhiqiza ama-megawatts angu-20, okufanele abe okwanele ekusebenzeni okugcwele kwesikhungo sedatha, noma okungenani ingxenye enkulu yayo. Uma ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo samandla e-biogas kuqinisekiswa, i-Apple ngeke idinge ukudweba cishe noma yimuphi ugesi eMaiden.
Abalondolozi bemvelo, kuhlanganise nenhlangano iGreenpeace, bazojabula ngempela. Le nkampani yehlise ukuhlolwa kwayo kwesisombululo sesikhungo sedatha kusuka ku-F kuya ku-C, kodwa ngemuva kokuphothulwa okuphelele komsebenzi e-Maiden, ngokuqinisekile kuzodingeka banikeze ibanga elingcono. Ugesi "oluhlaza" uzoba umthombo wamandla obalulekile ezizukulwaneni ezizayo, ukuthi izinkampani ezinkulu zidinga ukuzibandakanya kuqala futhi zibonise isiqondiso esifanele.
Eduze kwesikhungo sedatha esikhulu kunesinye esincane (bona isithombe ngenhla). Ithatha cishe ama-ares angu-20 futhi amakamelo ayo ayishumi nanye kuthiwa asetshenziselwa ukuxhuma imishini yabalingani be-Apple. Isici esithakazelisayo ukuvikeleka okukhulisiwe. Uthango lwamamitha amathathu luzungeze sonke isakhiwo, futhi izivakashi kuzodingeka zihlole isheke ngaphambi kokuba zivunyelwe ukungena.
