Summary[edit]

Description
English: The National Security Agency of the United States is building a giant data center in Bluffdale, Utah. It will cost $2 billion and collect so-called "yottobytes" of information; a yottobyte is a septillion bytes (10^24). According to one report, "It’s a state-of-the-art facility designed to support the intelligence community in its mission to, in turn, enable and protect the nation’s cybersecurity." It will collect a wide range of data about people to prevent terrorism. In addition, it will have powerful computers built to decipher encrypted information.
