A quiet, solid home for the systems that stay put.
On-demand cloud pricing is built for workloads that spike. Most of yours don’t. For the steady ones, there are calmer places to live, and the bill difference is not small.
This is the least glamorous page on our site, on purpose. Infrastructure done well is boring: the systems run, the backups restore, the invoice looks the same every month. Through Liberty Center One, a regional data center operator, we place workloads into secure hosting, colocation, and disaster recovery environments built on all-flash hardware with automated failover.
It's also where companies squeezed by VMware licensing land. Since Broadcom moved to per-core subscription bundles, renewals have come back at a multiple of last year, and the options (a different hypervisor, private cloud, colocation) can be costed side by side before you commit to any of them. Liberty Center One's own route off VMware is an OpenStack cloud running the KVM hypervisor, reached through a white-glove migration with unlimited test runs before the final cutover, rather than a weekend of hope.
Cloud platform services on enterprise-grade, all-flash hardware in a facility you can visit, for workloads that deserve predictable bills.
Disaster recovery with 5-minute failover and one-click self-service, engineers available 24/7, and backups copied to a second region, so restoration is a procedure rather than an adventure.
Hardened data centers in Royal Oak, Michigan and Cincinnati, audited every year for SOC 2 Type II by Plante Moran. Three on-site diesel generators with fuel for more than five days at full load, backed by a 100% power uptime SLA.
Every virtual machine is backed up automatically: nightly snapshots kept for 30 days, plus snapshots every 4 hours copied to a second region. Immutable, encrypted, and not an upsell.
White-glove migration with unlimited test runs before the final cutover. In Liberty Center One's words: no downtime, no data loss, no disruptions.
Three results worth telling.
A municipality restored after ransomware
Liberty Center One restored the databases and the entire computing infrastructure of a municipality after a ransomware attack. In a separate case, it made a 100 TB storage array available to a customer within 24 hours.

Disaster recovery for about 75% less than a $1M+ quote
Microsoft and Amazon quoted one organization more than $1 million a year for a disaster recovery service. Liberty Center One's alternative came in at about 75% less.

The VMware questions we hear most.
We're facing a big VMware renewal. What are our options?
You're not alone; since Broadcom's changes, a lot of IT teams have been handed renewals they didn't budget for. Through Liberty Center One, a data center in Royal Oak, Michigan, the exit is an OpenStack cloud on the KVM hypervisor, costed side by side with staying put before you commit. Liberty Center One has performed thousands of migrations, and for one client facing escalating VMware costs, the move eliminated $181,400 in VMware expenses.
Is a data center really cheaper than AWS or Azure?
For steady workloads, usually. On-demand pricing is built for systems that spike; the ones that run the same every day pay a premium for flexibility they never use. Liberty Center One puts typical migrations at 30% to 50% less than the hyperscalers, and we cost your own workloads line by line before anything moves.
Do we need a cloud consultant, or can our team handle the move?
Your team knows the systems; what it rarely has is spare weeks and a migration it has done before. We act as the cloud consultant on the decision, and Liberty Center One's engineers run the cloud migration itself, with your people involved throughout and unlimited test migrations before the final cutover.
