The Lansing-based Web hosting company, Liquid Web, Inc., launched Storm On Demand, a flexible cloud-hosting platform for businesses that have or need a computer server. Storm On Demand was launched January 11, after nearly two 
years of product development by Liquid Web engineers and private beta testing by Liquid Web clients.
"This is the first full-time software development team that is focused on developing proprietary Liquid Web software products to consumers," says Liquid Web director of marketing, Travis Stoliker. The company invested nearly $2 million in jobs alone for the development and testing of Storm On Demand, and $1.2 Million on its technology.
"Cloud hosting and cloud computing are technology advances that make it easier and less expensive for clients to deploy, migrate, backup, and scale their server in near real time with the click of a mouse,” adds Stoliker. "This will be a significant advance for Liquid Web, our clients and for the State of Michigan, which is working hard to move its economy from smokestacks and assembly lines to advanced computing technologies and fiber lines."
