Nearly two decades of investing in people, technology, and customer partnerships have helped Liberty Center One earn national recognition for sustained growth.
In 2007, Liberty Center One began transforming a former manufacturing facility in Royal Oak, Michigan, into something entirely new.
The vision was not simply to build another data center. It was to create an infrastructure company that combined enterprise-level technology with responsive, personal service. A company that would approach every customer environment with the same care it would give its own.
Nearly two decades later, Liberty Center One has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies. This marks the 4th consecutive year the company has made the list.
The recognition also follows Liberty Center One’s inclusion on the Inc. Best Workplaces 2026 list earlier this year and represents another meaningful milestone in the company’s continued growth.
While the recognition is appreciated, it reflects something larger than revenue alone. It represents the trust customers have placed in Liberty Center One, the dedication of its team, and years of continued investment in the infrastructure and expertise required to keep critical data and applications secure, available, and supported.
Growth Built on Trust
The Inc. 5000 recognizes privately held companies based on verified three-year revenue growth.
For Liberty Center One, those numbers tell only part of the story.
Behind that growth are customers who chose a long-term technology partner rather than another vendor. It’s reflected in the engineers who work alongside organizations to solve complex infrastructure challenges, the carefully planned cloud migrations that minimize disruption, the disaster recovery solutions that protect critical systems, and the responsive support from people who know each customer’s environment.
Those partnerships have been built over years, not measured by quarterly transactions. Since opening its first data room in 2008, Liberty Center One has expanded its infrastructure, geographic reach, and technical capabilities while remaining committed to the principles established at its founding: protecting customers’ most valuable assets, delivering exceptional service, investing continuously in people and technology, and building lasting relationships.
Growth has followed those commitments.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America is a reflection of the trust our customers place in us and the dedication of our entire team. We’ve built Liberty Center One by staying focused on delivering secure, resilient, and innovative infrastructure solutions that help businesses grow with confidence. This recognition reinforces our commitment to investing in our people, our technology, and the long-term success of our clients.”

Investing in What Customers Depend On
Technology continues to evolve, and the infrastructure supporting modern organizations must evolve with it. Liberty Center One has responded through continued investment in its facilities, cloud platforms, network capabilities, security, data protection, and engineering expertise.
Over the years, those investments have included expanded data-center capacity, redundant power infrastructure, intelligent network routing, OpenStack cloud automation, all-flash encrypted storage, advanced DDoS protection, GPU instances for AI, and broader carrier connectivity.
The company also maintains independently examined controls and undergoes regular third-party compliance audits to support organizations with demanding security, availability, and compliance requirements.
Each investment serves the same purpose: helping customers protect critical data and applications while operating with greater confidence.
That commitment can be seen in the work Liberty Center One’s engineers perform every day.
The team has helped restore the databases and computing infrastructure of a municipality following a ransomware attack. It made a 100TB storage array available within 24 hours for a customer facing an oversubscribed storage environment. It has also migrated cloud environments between regions to reduce latency and improve performance at the edge.
These are not abstract technology capabilities. They are examples of experienced people working closely with customers when the outcome matters.
Enterprise-Level Infrastructure With Personal Support
Liberty Center One was built on the belief that organizations should not have to choose between sophisticated infrastructure and personal service.
Customers receive access to secure public and private cloud environments, colocation, backup and disaster recovery resources, data protection, remote desktop services, and white-glove migration support. They also receive direct access to knowledgeable professionals who take the time to understand their environments and business objectives.
Rather than routing every question through an unfamiliar support queue, Liberty Center One provides access to consistent engineering teams that remain involved after implementation. That continuity helps preserve knowledge of each environment and supports faster, more informed responses when needs change.
It is a different model from the transactional experience organizations often encounter with large public cloud providers.
Liberty Center One’s approach is built around partnership, predictable costs, responsive expertise, and solutions designed around the customer rather than a standardized service package.
Growth and Culture Share the Same Foundation
Earlier this year, Liberty Center One was also named to the Inc. Best Workplaces 2026 list based on confidential employee feedback gathered through Quantum Workplace.
The Inc. 5000 and Best Workplaces programs evaluate different parts of a business. One measures revenue growth, while the other reflects employees’ experience of their workplace.
For Liberty Center One, however, both recognitions share a common foundation.
A company cannot consistently provide responsive, expert support without talented people who care about the work and the customers they serve.
The engineers, support professionals, and team members behind Liberty Center One’s infrastructure are the people who answer questions, anticipate challenges, protect customer environments, and step in when a critical issue requires immediate attention.
Investing in that team is inseparable from investing in customer success.
“It’s an honor to once again be recognized among the Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America. This recognition reflects the hard work of our team, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to delivering dependable technology solutions that help organizations succeed. We’re honored to be recognized among America’s fastest-growing private companies and excited for what’s ahead.”

Why Sustained Growth Matters When Choosing an Infrastructure Partner
Organizations rarely select a cloud or data-center partner for a single short-term need.
They are choosing a company they may rely on for years to protect essential systems, preserve business continuity, support changing workloads, and respond when unexpected challenges arise.
That decision requires confidence that the provider will continue investing in the people, processes, facilities, and technology behind its services.
The Inc. 5000 recognition provides another indicator of Liberty Center One’s ability to grow while continuing to support the organizations that depend on it.
It does not replace the considerations that matter when evaluating an infrastructure partner, such as security, availability, expertise, responsiveness, compliance, and service quality. It does, however, reflect the continued trust of customers and the company’s ability to invest in the future.
Looking Ahead
Nearly twenty years after Liberty Center One began transforming an aging manufacturing facility into a modern data center, the principles guiding the company remain unchanged:
- Manage customers’ most valued assets as if they were our own.
- Provide exceptional customer service.
- Invest continuously in people, processes, and technology.
- Build lasting customer partnerships.
- Employ people with a passion for excellence.
Those values have guided Liberty Center One’s growth from its beginnings in Royal Oak to its role today as a provider of secure cloud hosting, colocation, data protection, disaster recovery, remote desktops, network infrastructure, and white-glove migration support.
To every customer, employee, and partner who has been part of that journey, thank you.
We are honored by this recognition and even more grateful for the opportunity to continue earning your trust.
