Salute, a global leader in comprehensive data center services, today announces its acquisition of Northshore – a sustainability-driven, global engineering and consulting firm whose technology and proprietary platform, Seastack, is a significant breakthrough in the use of AI and automation to advance data center sustainability and optimize facility operations.
Through this strategic move, Salute will leverage Seastack’s technology and Northshore’s sustainability expertise to enhance each stage of Salute’s data center lifecycle services.
With intelligent AI-driven data analysis and automation capabilities, the company addresses critical needs of data center operators worldwide, advancing sustainability, improving energy efficiency, and supporting regulatory compliance.
“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. As automation becomes essential and sustainability mandates intensify, from enterprise customers to government entities, Salute stands as the indispensable partner with the technology, methodology, and expertise to lead the future of data center operations,” said Erich Sanchack, Chief Executive Officer at Salute.
Sanchack added: ” 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.”
Since 2018, Northshore has earned a global reputation for delivering data-driven sustainability solutions to data center operators, from hyperscalers to colocation and enterprise providers. With operations across APAC, Northshore expands Salute’s global footprint, enhancing its ability to serve clients wherever they operate.
For the founder and CEO of Northshore, Matt Renner, retaining the integrity of Northshore’s founding vision was crucial in the decision-making:
“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.”
Building on Salute’s recent acquisitions of Advanced Data Center Consulting Group, an AI readiness leader in the Americas, and Keysource, the leading data center advisory firm in EMEA, Northshore adds powerful sustainability and engineering capabilities that further strengthen Salute’s global lifecycle offering.
