Liberty Center One delivers secure cloud hosting from professionally operated U.S. data centers, combining enterprise-grade infrastructure with white-glove engineering support. Designed for reliability, scalability, and protection, Liberty Center One’s platform now includes self-service disaster recovery, on-demand data protection reporting, and hands-on migration expertise as part of a fully managed cloud experience.
The FAQs below explain how Liberty Center One’s cloud services work, what’s included by default, and how customers are supported over time clearly, directly, and in practical terms.
The Engineering Philosophy Behind Our Platform
Our engineering philosophy is built on a simple but unwavering belief: protection and support are not optional. In an industry that often presents critical services like disaster recovery and expert support as expensive, a-la-carte add-ons, we have made a deliberate choice to build them into the very fabric of our platform. This is not a marketing decision; it is an engineering principle grounded in decades of experience.
Liberty Center One made this choice because we have seen what happens when these services are optional. Years ago, we would have customers decline backup services to save on their monthly bill, only to call us in a panic when a server failed or they were hit with ransomware. After the third or fourth time you find yourself in a 3 AM recovery effort for a frantic customer, you realize the model is broken. We decided to fix it. Today, every customer on our platform is protected by default. You don’t have to ask for it, you don’t have to enable it, and you don’t have to worry about whether you checked the right box. It’s an easy button for peace of mind.
This same philosophy extends to our support model. We are not a hyperscale provider, and we do not aspire to be. We have intentionally built a high-touch, low-turnover engineering team because we know that when something goes wrong, the last thing you want is to explain your environment to a stranger in a support queue. Our customers have direct access to engineers who know their infrastructure, their business, and their history. It’s the difference between calling a vendor and phoning a friend who can actually help.
Ultimately, we believe our job is not just to provide infrastructure, but to provide confidence. Confidence that your data is protected, confidence that you can recover from a disaster, and confidence that a team of experienced engineers has your back. That is the foundation upon which our platform is built.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is data backed up in Liberty Center One’s cloud?
Liberty Center One’s Automatic Data Protection service (“ADP”) automatically backs up all customer data using built-in, immutable backup and replication processes. This is designed to support fast recovery and provide robust ransomware protection. Customers can now also generate on-demand Data Protection Reports directly from the cloud portal for instant backup validation and compliance documentation.
With Liberty ADP, customers do not need to request, enable, or manage backup services, as backup and replication are engineered directly into the infrastructure. This all-inclusive approach ensures that every customer benefits from the same high level of data protection.
Liberty Center One’s backup architecture is designed to protect data across both time and location:
- Immutable Nightly Backups: Backups are performed nightly and retained for 30 days in-region. These backups are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted, providing a strong defense against ransomware.
- Frequent Data Copies: Additional copies of customer data are created every four hours and stored out-of-region, providing numerous restore points throughout the day.
- Multi-Region Redundancy: With more than 50 protected copies of customer data stored across multiple geographic regions, Liberty Center One ensures high availability and data durability.
New in 2026: On-Demand Data Protection Reports
To provide clearer visibility, customers can now generate Data Protection Reports on demand from within the OpenStack portal. These reports allow you to instantly validate which workloads are protected, review backup status across your environment, and produce compliance-ready documentation, eliminating manual audit preparation.
How do disaster recovery services work with Liberty Center One?
Liberty Center One provides built-in disaster recovery (DR) services highlighted by the new Liberty DR feature, which allows customers to execute live, self-service failover in under five minutes directly from the cloud portal. This transforms disaster recovery from a coordinated, manual process into a controlled, on-demand action.
Every customer environment includes disaster recovery data copies by default. The new Liberty DR module leverages this continuous replication, allowing you to initiate structured DR testing or a live failover without opening a support ticket. In the event of a major outage, your environment can be restored and brought online in a secondary location with just a few clicks.
Because all environment metadata including networking configurations, firewall rules, and security settings is also replicated, engineers can recreate entire environments, rather than just restoring data.
A Real-World Example of Recovery in Action:
“ On Halloween, a $2.5 billion customer was hit with a crypto virus. We sprang into action, working through the night to rebuild their environment from our backups. We got them back up and running, without paying a hefty ransom. That’s the level of support and commitment our customers can count on.”
— Edward Eades, Solutions Architect, Liberty Center One
What is secure cloud hosting?
Secure cloud hosting is a managed cloud service that provides encrypted infrastructure, automated backups, redundancy, and disaster recovery services from a professionally operated data center. Liberty Center One’s secure cloud hosting is designed to remove the operational burden from your team while maintaining the highest levels of availability, security, and performance.
Unlike hyperscale cloud providers that require you to configure and manage your own security and backup services, Liberty Center One’s secure cloud hosting includes these critical protections at the infrastructure level. This means your environment is protected by default, with services like FIPS 140-2 certified AES256 encryption at rest and in transit, Automatic Data Protection, DDoS detection and multi-carrier connectivity all built-in.
How does cloud migration work with Liberty Center One?
Liberty Center One has a proven 5-Step process for, “white-glove” cloud migration services before, during, and after your workloads are moved. Migrations are handled as an integral part of the overall infrastructure service, not as a one-time project or a self-service task that leaves your team to manage the risk.
Before a migration begins, Liberty Center One engineers work directly with your team to understand your existing environment, dependencies, and operational requirements. This planning phase is used to architect the best migration approach.
During the migration, our engineers remain actively involved to monitor progress and ensure services remain stable. Using specialized tools, we can test your virtual machines in a non-routable environment before the final cutover, which dramatically reduces the risk of downtime or post-migration issues.
After the migration, our engineers continue to support the environment to confirm that all systems are functioning as expected. This seamless transition from migration to ongoing support is a key differentiator of the Liberty Center One experience.
How does support and engineering work at Liberty Center One?
Liberty Center One provides ongoing support through a dedicated, low-turnover engineering team that remains involved with your environment long after go-live. While new self-service tools empower you with more direct control, our engineers are always available for expert guidance, strategic advice, and hands-on support.
Instead of being routed through a general support queue, you have direct access to a team of engineers who are familiar with your environment. This approach shortens resolution times and eliminates the need to re-explain your setup every time you have a question.
All support requests are handled through a SOC 2-aligned ticketing process, ensuring that all activity is audited and tracked for compliance and visibility. Sales engineers also remain involved post-launch to preserve historical knowledge and design intent, ensuring that the solution continues to meet your needs as your business evolves.
