Liquid Web's Wholly Owned Data Centers

Connectivity:
Liquid Web currently owns and operates three data centers in Lansing, MI totaling over 130,000 square feet of space. Our multi-homed network is powered by premium tier-1 bandwidth featuring diverse path OC-48 fiber connectivity with carriers Verizon/MCI, Sprint, and Savvis/C&W. The implementation of premium tier-1 bandwidth as well as N+1 redundant routing hardware ensures enhanced stability and superior performance in reliability, throughput and latency. Coupled with BGP, network consistency is assured in the event of a provider network outage, low level line failure, fiber cut, or even a core routing hardware failure. All network traffic is monitored by an Intrusion Detection System to alert us to any nefarious activity at any network layer before it can impact service consistency.

Power Systems, Environmental Systems, and Physical Security:
  • Liquid Web's Power systems are reliable and robust featuring a large centralized UPS system and multiple backup generators, providing our data centers with continual power even in the event of extended total electrical blackout.
  • Environmental systems keep ambient temperatures at a constant and actively remove foreign particulates from the air to ensure the best ventilation possible for all servers.
  • Data Center entry is limited to technician staff and security monitored throughout our entire facility utilizing an array of CCTV cameras running 24/7.


Quite simply: each Liquid Web data center is engineered from the ground up for maximum performance, stability, and security.

Proactive Security Updates and Security Notifications
Vulnerability discovery, assessment and response can be a time consuming process. Liquid Web handles this responsibility on your behalf through an optimized assessment and upgrade process which allows us to continually evaluate and respond to the security of our managed servers. When a high-risk vulnerability is discovered, such as kernel or SSH vulnerability, we immediately patch your server as soon as an update is available, at no additional charge. If a vulnerability is discovered in a software package which may have a custom configuration or where an update could cause a conflict, we initiate contact with you immediately so you may advise us on to how you would like us to proceed.

Simply put: we employ intelligent proactive security, ensuring your server is secure and functional to the highest level possible. This way you get all the benefits of proactive security, but don't have to worry about unwanted service disruptions. Of course, you can always opt out of the proactive upgrade process if you would like.

Intelligent Attack and TOS Resolution
Liquid Web will never simply "pull the plug" on your server in response to a denial of service attack, TOS violation, or billing issue. We believe in communicating with clients, and will always be sure to contact you via phone or email before any major action is taken if it is at all avoidable. We know your server is your business and up-time is crucial which is why we are proud to offer you the personal care you deserve.
