Over the past month, I received a couple of tips claiming that Apple was a Windows Azure customer.

 

At first, I just dismissed the tips as nothing but a crazy rumor. Then I got more serious and started asking around, to no avail.

 

But once Apple launched the beta of its iCloud iMessage service, the Infinite Apple site, along with a few other blogs, analyzed the traffic patterns and found that Apple appeared to be using both Azure and Amazon Web Services for hosting.

 

“We don’t believe iCloud stores actual content. Rather, it simply manages links

to uploaded content,” according to an updated June 13 Infinite Apple post.
