Walmart Data Center Remains a Mystery

We've been talking about market research, and in light of my recent thread on cloud storage, I couldn't resist posting on this top-secret Walmart data center, used (we may speculate) to process consumer data.

According to consumer activist Katherine Albrecht, one security company was asked by Walmart for ways to videotape customers paying for purchases, something she had thought to be "unbelievably outlandish because of the amount of data storage required."

However, at least back in 2004, Walmart had twice the storage capacity of the entire Internet.
