Data Storage

NSA Building $860 Million Data Center In Maryland 177

1sockchuck writes "As its current data collection makes headlines, the National Security Agency is continuing to expand its data storage and processing capabilities. The agency recently broke ground on an $860 million data center at Fort Meade, Maryland that will span more than 600,000 square feet. The project will provide additional IT capacity beyond the NSA's controversial Utah data center. The new facility will be supported by 60 megawatts of power and use both air-cooled and liquid-cooled equipment."

Interesting thought. But it does bring up a similar issue: why do they trust gov't for national security but not for anything else?

If government-ness is inherently rotten, then it would be rotten for everything, no?

Bill Oreilly was asked a similar question, and his answer appeared to be that the military structure has been "tuned by tradition and experience", while other things are too new. But that would mean that time is the fix, not outright cancellation.

I was thinking that maybe they feel that any problems caused by the military are on non-Americans. The [bleep] happens "over there". But domestic snooping is here.
