Our Military Community
Salute Mission Critical is proud of the military community in the data center industry who have effectively transitioned from military to civilian careers. Their success serves as an example for active duty, veterans, military spouses, and the guard/reserve considering working in this industry. Each person’s story is different but what is common is their commitment to the Salute mission.
