Project Summary
The Grant County EDC first met with Ask.com in February of 2006. Since that time the EDC has assisted the company as it searched the county for a suitable location for its data center.
In early 2007 Ask.com decided to locate in the Titan facility in Moses Lake. The new data center will enable Ask.com to support its growing query volume and provide additional computing power for processor-intensive search services, including Ask 3D. |
