About LiquidSky
Our mission is to dramatically lower costs and increase the efficiency of computing by giving users access to all the computing power they need in the cloud - or in our case, the Sky! No more buying expensive hardware on your end to play games or run programs, just subscribe to what you need from us. We also provide a lightning-fast internet experience, something we call Sky accelerated web browsing. No more buffering videos, viruses, and slow downloads - you get Sky speed! Idle computing resources are then used to run simulations which help scientists understand diseases and solve world problems. Four of the main issues surrounding cloud gaming or the consumer thin-client have been latency, cost, scalability, and catalog. We have solved all four. Welcome to the Sky.
