MICROSOFT IS spending about $130 million to build a new data center in Dublin, as it needs more room to run cloud services there, the company said. The expansion is a direct result of increased demand for cloud services such as Office 365, Windows Live, Xbox Live, Bing and Windows Azure in Europe, according to Microsoft. Separately, Apple has bought a vast sprawl of land in Prineville, Ore., where it will open a data center. The data center will be built on a 160-acre piece of land that Apple bought for $5.6 million.
