AI workloads are putting MSPs under pressure like never before, and cooling is at the heart of it. Richard Clifford, our VP of Sales & Solutions EMEA, recently spoke with ChannelPro, breaking down why direct-to-chip cooling has moved from a niche engineering solution to a critical strategic decision for MSPs. The challenge is real: traditional air cooling simply wasn't built for today's AI rack densities. MSPs who don't act risk thermal bottlenecks, reduced performance, client churn, and regulatory exposure. As Richard puts it - this isn't just a technical upgrade. It's a business decision that directly impacts growth, risk, and long-term viability. 🔗 Link to the full article in the comments. #MSP #DirectToChip #LiquidCooling #AIInfrastructure #DataCentre #Salute

“Imagine those same people that you’ve entrusted with the safety of the United States now coming in and dealing with future infrastructure and citizen services.” That’s what our CEO Erich Sanchack told Maria Bartiromo in the Fox Business Network studio this morning. Erich was back on America’s top-rated business network to discuss our mission to create careers for military veterans to support the AI data center boom. In a wide-ranging interview on Mornings with Maria, Erich discussed: - The skills that armed forces veterans bring to critical national infrastructure - Our heritage in supporting veterans through training programs that create meaningful careers - How Salute is meeting the increased demand for AI data centers - Our lifecycle of services that are trusted by 80% of the world’s data center operators - How we support the communities in which we operate, including charitable initiatives that have raised millions of dollars so far To watch the full interview, please see the link below: https://hubs.li/Q04grpnY0 PS, we are hiring!

What does it really take to operate a direct-to-chip liquid cooled AI data center? In a recent interview with Data Centre Solutions, Salute’s Chief Product Officer, AI and Chief Learning Officer John Shultz breaks down why DTC liquid cooling demands a completely different operational model to air cooling - and why the stakes have never been higher. With a single 8MW tech loop going down costing $42,000 per hour in lost GPU revenue, the margin for error is zero. John covers everything from leak detection, chemistry management and real-time monitoring to the operational risks hiding in shared colo environments, and shares his thoughts on what's coming next, from innovation in new chips to two-phase cooling and beyond. He also discusses why Salute’s strategic partnerships with Ecolab, MCIM, and Phaidra have been a game-changer in helping data center operators protect their AI investments at scale.

The future of AI infrastructure won't be decided by compute power alone, it'll be decided by how we manage heat. Our VP of Sales & Solutions EMEA, Richard Clifford, explores why cooling innovation is now a critical factor in the viability of AI data centres. From the shift from room-level air cooling to direct-to-chip liquid cooling, to the regulatory and sustainability pressures shaping site selection, Richard breaks down what operators need to consider as rack densities climb from 15kW to 100kW+ and beyond. The question is, how is your organisation approaching the thermal challenges of AI-scale deployments? 🔗 Read the full article in the comments below. #DataCentre #AIInfrastructure #LiquidCooling #Sustainability #ThermalManagement #Salute

May 8 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. To the military spouses on our team and across the broader community, thank you for what you contribute and for what you navigate to get there. You are an integral part of what makes Salute who we are. This year, we wanted to go beyond recognition and hear directly from the military spouses on our team. We asked them to share how their experience has shaped the way they work and what it means to be part of a company that understands the military community firsthand. From dual military families and Navy Reserve deployments to career pivots and raising children through long separations, their stories reflect the range of what military life actually looks like. Military spouses are not a footnote in our workforce. They are engineers, recruiters, operations leads, and talent professionals, and the experience they bring from military life is a direct contributor to how we operate and grow. Read their stories here: https://hubs.li/Q04fXH-30 If you are a military spouse exploring your next career move, the Salute Military Community Pathway was built for you: https://hubs.li/Q04fXvR90 #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay #MilitarySpouse #Veterans

Our very own Angela Paterson, VP of People and Culture at Salute, has been named UK Lead of the iM Armed Forces Member Focus Group by Infrastructure Masons, and there is truly no one better suited for this role. At Salute, connecting the armed forces community with meaningful careers in the digital infrastructure sector is not just something we do. It is the foundation of who we are. Approximately 40% of our 2,200+ person global workforce are military veterans. We operate in more than 15 countries, supporting 80% of the world's data center operators. Angela has been central to building the people infrastructure that makes all of this possible. Through her leadership of our global culture she has championed talent acquisition and development programs, workforce planning initiatives, and is committed to helping design career pathways  to help open doors for service leavers, veterans, and military families, not just in the US, but increasingly across the UK and Europe. The data center and digital infrastructure industry faces a well-documented talent shortage. Veterans bring exactly what this industry needs: discipline, precision, adaptability, and a mission-first mindset. Angela's new role with iM Armed Forces will help amplify that message across the UK, building bridges between the military community and the careers waiting for them in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world. We are proud to see Angela carry this work forward on an even bigger stage. Congratulations, Angela! #iMArmedForces #iMasons #Veterans #ServiceLeavers #MilitarySpouses #DigitalInfrastructure #DataCenter #MilitaryTalent

There’s a different kind of pressure building across US data center environments. Timelines are getting tighter. Compute demand is ramping faster. Infrastructure is being pushed to scale. Sustainability is being called into question. That’s why the conversations at 7x24 Exchange Conference this year matter. From June 7–10 in Orlando, the focus isn’t just on where the industry is going — it’s on how teams are actually keeping up with demand. We’ll be there, connecting with operators navigating this in real time. If you’re planning to attend, let’s find time to compare notes. https://hubs.li/Q04fKYpX0 #DataCenters #Hyperscale #AIInfrastructure #Salute

Over the past two semesters, Salute had the privilege of partnering with Ole Miss Business and their Marketing 495 consulting class - and what an experience it's been. We served as a real-world case study, giving students a deep dive into data centers, Salute, and our business - covering talent, brand, digital presence, and global expansion. The work they delivered was genuinely impressive. But just as valuable was the energy, curiosity, and optimism they brought to every interaction. As an industry, we need more of this. Coming together to educate, collaborate, and inspire the next generation around the work we all support - that's how we build something that lasts. And we're thrilled to say this partnership didn't end in the classroom. We're welcoming two outstanding students to the Salute family: Ella Long, joining as Intern, Marketing Programs, and Sydney Sparkman, coming aboard as Associate, Community Affairs & Economic Development. Two brilliant examples of the next generation of talent finding their home in this industry. We can't wait to see what you both bring. A huge thank you to our Salute panellists - Mark Reynolds, Robert Heikaus, Amy Andro, Kellie Smith, and Shannon Wood - and to the professors who made this happen: Dr Matt Shaner, RJ Smith, and Salute Board Member Dean Douglas. Your partnership and belief in this programme made all the difference. #DataCenters #TalentDevelopment #FutureOfWork #OleMissBusiness #NextGeneration #LifeAtSalute University of Mississippi
