The Utah Data Center, also known as the Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center, is a data storage facility for the United States Intelligence Community that is designed to store data estimated to be on the order of exabytes or larger.  Its purpose is to support the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI), though its precise mission is classified.
