Salute has announced the acquisition of Advanced Data Center Consulting Group (ADCC Group), as part of the company’s efforts to broaden its AI-driven data centre training and consulting capabilities.
According to Salute, ADCC will be integral to its efforts in meeting growing demand for AI-led data centre deployments. As part of those efforts, ADCC’s John Shultz will also continue at the helm of the company he founded, aiming to enhance Salute’s ability to deliver advice and operational support for AI, cloud, and edge computing.
“The acquisition of ADCC solidifies Salute’s position as a progressive leader in our field,” says Erich Sanchack, CEO of Salute.
“John Shultz and his team will provide invaluable training at all levels, from the C-Suite to sales teams, and, most critically, to those on the ground. In doing so, John and his team will bring unparalleled expertise in AI, cloud, and edge computing to the table, all of which will greatly enhance our ability to serve clients with accurate knowledge on the implementation and operations of advanced data centre models.”
Post-acquisition, Salute’s newly expanded service offering plans to focus on a comprehensive approach to data centre operations, covering every stage of the lifecycle. That includes development of AI training programmes, helping operators understand the shift towards high-performance computing and evolving cooling needs.
“Success in this new era of high performance compute environments requires advanced training, operational discipline, and precise execution,” says John Shultz, Founder and Executive Consultant at ADCC.
“The industry’s shift from air cooling to liquid cooling for next-generation AI workloads introduces complexities in data centre operations. By combining ADCC’s deep expertise in AI data centre training and consulting with Salute’s global leadership in commissioning and facilities management, we can equip operators with the skills and insights needed to navigate these challenges, ensuring high-performance environments that minimise downtime and maximise our clients’ investments.”
