Scott Noteboom, the man who led Yahoo’s data center operations since 2005, has now joined Apple as company expands into the cloud, reports “Gigaom” (http://macte.ch/N9PFi). According to LinkedIn, Noteboom is now a “distinguished gentleman” at Apple as of this month after leaving his role as vice president of data center engineering and operations at Yahoo.

Apparently, Notebook will replace Kevin Timmons, who helped build the data centers that power Microsoft’s global cloud computing operation. The latter “was named the CTO of data center operator CyrusOne this week, and his background didn’t include any mention of Apple,” notes “Gigaom.”
