Liberty Power, one of the fastest-growing retail electric providers in the United States, has improved its guarantee of customer service continuity by contracting with 1Vault Networks to provide two disaster recovery suites at 1Vault's Business Continuity bunker. Liberty Power also added a fully redundant Metro-E Circuit to interconnect their co-located IT servers with their headquarters. Liberty Power has partnered with 1Vault since 2006 and completed this most recent data center upgrade to meet the company's growing compliance demands.
Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Fla, Liberty Power is licensed to sell electricity in 16 states, and currently serves tens of thousands of customers, including small and mid-size businesses, numerous Fortune 500 companies, as well as municipalities and national government agencies. Recognized as an Inc. 500 company in 2008, Liberty Power continues to demonstrate solid growth, increasing revenues in 2008 by more than 50 percent over the previous reporting year.
