Utah to get New NSA Data Center

The NSA announced plans to build a million square foot new data center at the Camp Williams facility in Utah. It was reported that the agency began to design the new center in November. They project that construction would be completed by February. The center would house supercomputers that will be part of the NSA's signal intelligence program. A similar center is being planned for San Antonio Texas, and that agency would be expanding its facility at Ford Mead Maryland.
