Ask HN: What Hardware/Software Apple use in their own datacenters?
They do make great hardware/software for consumers but do they same HW/SW for their own datacenters?

Pretty much everything runs on Java which each team having a different stack.
Full WebObjects/Project Wonder is used for iTunes Store. Just the web part of WebObjects used for the Apple Store. JBoss for Apple ID/ADC. Cassandra and Teradata used extensively. SAP for billing. Hadoop stack for analytics. The architecture generally is SOA/Microservices. Hardware is typical - nothing unusual.
The interesting parts are really Siri which uses Mesos and Apple's recent acquisition of FoundationDB.
