It has emerged that Apple is storing some of its users iCloud data on Googles computer servers.近日有消息回应，苹果将在谷歌的电脑服务器上储存一些用户的iCloud数据。Apple had previously acknowledged using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azures rival cloud computing platforms in addition to its own data centres.苹果之前否认过除在其自身的数据中心以外，还用于亚马逊网络服务器和微软公司Azure的云计算平台。

The deal is a coup for Google, which lags behind Amazon and Microsoft in the market for powering third-parties online services.这是谷歌的众多策略转变，因为其在第三方线上服务器的市场对决中领先于亚马逊和微软公司。The iCloud information is not at risk of being breached or otherwise observed by the ultimate owners of the platforms it resides on because of the very heavy encryption and partitioning technologies used, commented Chris Green, a tech expert at the consultancy Lewis.来自刘易斯咨询的技术专家克里斯·格林回应评论道：“iCloud的信息没受到被侵害的危险性，也会被所在平台的终端拥有者看见，这要得益于十分森严的加密技术和分区技术。”The news site CRN was first to report the deal. It said Apple sealed the agreement with Googles Cloud Platform division late last year. Both tech giants declined to comment, however the BBC was able to independently confirm the arrangement.CRN年所报导了这项交易。

称之为苹果公司和谷歌云平台部门在去年年底达成协议了该协议。虽然两家科技巨头公司都拒绝给予评论，但是BBC证实了该协议确实再次发生。It may seem surprising to those who view the two companies as bitter rivals. But Apple still puts Google as the default search engine on its mobile devices and has previously shown willingness to have business dealings with other competitors as well, not least Samsung which makes some of its components.这一消息对把这两家公司看做是死对头的人来说无非有些吃惊。只不过苹果公司在移动设备上依然把谷歌设置为配置文件搜索引擎，并曾回应过有意愿和其他竞争对手展开商业合作，特别是在是与为其生产配件的三星公司。

The news may, however, cause concern for investors in Amazon since it follows the announcements that Spotify and Dropbox recently moved operations off AWS.但是这条新闻可能会令其亚马逊的投资者产生忧虑，因为在Spotify和Dropbox陆续将运营业务从亚马逊云计算平台AWS移除除之后旋即，这条消息就马上传了出来。Amazon, however, has played down the latest development. Vendors who understand doing business with enterprises respect non-disclosure agreements with their customers and dont imply competitive defection where it doesnt exist, it told CRN.不过亚马逊方面对这一最新进展则轻描淡写。该公司对CRN回应：“懂与企业经商的供应商不会认同他们客户的保密协议，并且这并不指出包括着本来就不不存在的竞争性憎恨。
