Salute has announced the acquisition of Northshore, an engineering and consulting firm known for its focus on sustainability and its proprietary platform, Seastack. Salute reports that this acquisition will enable it to integrate artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data analysis and automation throughout its data center lifecycle services, targeting improvements in facility sustainability, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Northshore’s Seastack platform utilizes AI and automation to optimize data center operations. Salute claims that combining Seastack’s technical capabilities with Northshore’s team of sustainability consultants, engineers, data scientists, and construction specialists will enhance Salute’s ability to provide data-driven sustainability solutions across all phases of the data center lifecycle. Northshore has been active in the Asia Pacific region since 2018, expanding Salute’s reach to serve hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise providers globally.
Erich Sanchack, Chief Executive Officer at Salute, stated, “By integrating Northshore’s AI-driven platform into Salute’s full data center lifecycle services, we are uniquely positioned to solve the industry’s most pressing operational and sustainability challenges,” and continued, “What sets this acquisition apart is our shared belief that the future of data center growth depends on sustainable viability, a critical factor in scaling high-density environments. Northshore’s team of sustainability consultants, engineers, data scientists, and construction experts, combined with their data-led platform, Seastack, enables Salute to deliver comprehensive sustainability solutions across every phase of the data center lifecycle.”
Matt Renner, Founder and CEO of Northshore, noted the importance of maintaining Northshore’s vision, saying, “We founded Northshore to address a gap in the market – the need for data-driven sustainability engineering. Our mission has always been to make a more sustainable internet, and our partnership with Salute will give us the opportunity to achieve this vision at a much more impactful, global scale.” Renner added, “We are not just scaling our expertise. We are arming our talented engineers, program managers, data scientists, and sustainability experts with Salute’s platform and vast network of data center leaders to sustainably transform data center operations worldwide. Together, we will transform the operations of companies across the data center industry in ways that help our industry build the world’s critical digital infrastructure in a far more sustainable way.”
Salute has recently expanded its global portfolio through other acquisitions, including Advanced Data Center Consulting Group for AI readiness in the Americas and Keysource in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The addition of Northshore deepens Salute’s engineering and sustainability offerings to address the evolving demands of the data center sector.
