\n

There\u2019s no question that an economy at least some of us grew up with has dramatically changed in recent years.<\/p>\n

Really, no surprise there.<\/p>\n

The somewhat surprising component to this story of transformation is just how well an area economy that was once viewed as the heartland of American manufacturing has become one of its most proliferate when it comes to companies whose livelihoods embrace digital, science and technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That proliferation of tech-related growth in the state facilitated the recent addition<\/a> of Online Tech\u2019s Metro Detroit Data Center, which increased our footprint in Michigan<\/a> to 100,000 square feet of data center space in four locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMetro Detroit is a perfect location for expansion with a healthy enterprise market of Fortune 500 companies and a fast-growing community of startups in the healthcare, financial and retail industries,\u201d co-CEO Mike Klein said. \u201cOur investment of $10 million in infrastructure and 15 new jobs in this Metro Detroit data center will provide the critical IT infrastructure and services that growing Michigan companies need to sustain growth and credibility in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n
