“There’s weeks and months of training that go into it, and then months and years of mentoring. “The folks that we recruit, and train don’t show up on site the next day,” explains Kirby. Salute helps EdgeConneX deploy, maintain, manage, and secure data centres with military precision and high-quality results. With EdgeConneX, chairman Kirby is clear: “I have never seen a more productive partnership in my whole career, and we have expanded bringing value to each other. Salute continues to constantly expand as more military organisations join the mission and the business follows its customers. The brand has an office presence in 12 countries and works alongside 15 countries’ militaries. The team of veterans comprises all branches of the military with an average of 35% from the Army, 35% from the Marines, 20% from the Navy, and 10% from the Air Force ranks. Salute’s work has seen more than 600MW of data centre power serviced by trained veterans working for over 250 clients worldwide. That’s why we have this kind of great symbiotic partnership together.” This is key to help have that operational consistency that we have established in our other data centres around the world. As we scale out, it’s kind of hand in hand when it comes to both our growth and theirs. “We leverage them in South America, as well as in Europe where we have close to 100 Salute people supporting our facilities across the region and then obviously North America. The framework that Lee Kirby established to help veterans migrate from the military into the commercial sector is fantastic and it can be applied anywhere. “It is military veterans from all countries around the world.

Since 2014, hyperscale data centre operator EdgeConneX and global veterans’ talent empowerment firm, Salute Mission Critical, have been partnering to change the lives of thousands of veterans across the Americas, Europe and soon in Asia.įighting stigmas and preconceptions, the two brands have walked hand in hand to train and help war heroes become valuable team members of the data centre community, be it within the EdgeConneX footprint be it outside it, showcasing once more, a prime example of how the industry can step over rivalries for the greater good.
