Other companies with projects named PRISM:<p><i>Palantir</i> <a href="https://docs.palantir.com/metropolisdev/prism-overview.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.palantir.com&#x2F;metropolisdev&#x2F;prism-overview.html</a><p><i>Mozilla</i> (inactive) <a href="https://mozillalabs.com/en-US/prism/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozillalabs.com&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;prism&#x2F;</a><p><i>CriticalBlue</i> <a href="http://www.criticalblue.com/prism-technology.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.criticalblue.com&#x2F;prism-technology.html</a><p><i>Goodwill</i> <a href="http://www.goodwilltalentbridge.com/tb/projectPrism.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodwilltalentbridge.com&#x2F;tb&#x2F;projectPrism.aspx</a><p>Universities with projects named PRISM:<p><i>Texas Tech</i> <a href="http://www.texastech.edu/it/prism.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.texastech.edu&#x2F;it&#x2F;prism.aspx</a><p><i>Georgia Tech</i> <a href="http://pag.gatech.edu/prism" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pag.gatech.edu&#x2F;prism</a><p><i>Princeton</i> <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/prism/industry/industrial_affiliate/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.princeton.edu&#x2F;prism&#x2F;industry&#x2F;industrial_affiliate...</a><p>While many of these projects have nothing to do with technology, they illustrate a point: PRISM <i>was</i> a great name for a project. The fact that Facebook has a &quot;Project Prism&quot; too is just coincidence.

If nothing else, this makes it rather amusing to think of how confused the engineers behind &#x27;Project Prism&#x27; must have been when the first PRISM leaks were revealed.

&gt; <i>The result is a platform that can juggle as much as 100 petabytes of data — aka hundreds of millions of gigabytes</i><p>No more than 105 million gigabytes actually.

Unfortunate they chose that name for a project involving spanning datacenters with high-speed fiber connection.
