Global data-center lifecycle services leader Salute announced the acquisition of Northshore, a sustainability-driven engineering and consulting firm whose proprietary platform, Seastack, delivers advanced AI and automation solutions designed to optimise data-centre operations and improve environmental performance.
Through this strategic move, Salute plans to integrate Northshore’s AI-enabled Seastack platform and sustainability expertise into its full suite of lifecycle services spanning design, build, operate and sustain phases for hyperscale, cloud, colocation and edge infrastructure.
“By integrating Northshore’s AI-driven platform into Salute’s full data centre 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.”

Founded in 2018, Northshore has earned a strong global reputation for delivering data-driven sustainability solutions to data‐centre operators, including hyperscalers, colocation providers and enterprise customers. With operations already established across the Asia–Pacific region, Northshore enhances Salute’s global reach and service delivery capability.
Reflecting on the decision to join forces, Northshore’s Founder and CEO, Matt Renner, commented: “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 continued: “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.”
This acquisition builds on Salute’s recent strategic moves, including its earlier acquisitions of Advanced Data Center Consulting Group (an AI-readiness specialist in the Americas) and Keysource (a leading data-centre advisory firm in EMEA). With Northshore’s sustainability and engineering capabilities now integrated, Salute further strengthens its global lifecycle offering for data-centre operators and owners.
