Data Center and Neocloud Advisory for AI‑Driven Enterprises
Strut Partners designs, sources, and optimizes Data Center, Colocation, and GPU/Neocloud environments so AI, GPU, and high‑density workloads run reliably, efficiently, and with clear, defendable economics.
We translate power, cooling, connectivity, and GPU density requirements into practical strategies, shortlists, and commercial structures that your Board and finance team can stand behind.
By combining operator‑level experience with an independent advisory lens, we help you avoid stranded capacity, lock in the right contracts, and align infrastructure decisions with product, growth, and capital plans so every megawatt and every GPU is working in service of your business outcomes.

Startup companies seeking capacity options for AI learning and inferencing
PE‑backed portfolio companies needing infrastructure strategy aligned to growth and M&A
Strut Partners serves as your partner who speaks both the language of the data center floor (power, cooling, fiber, scale) and the language of the boardroom (TCV, ARR, utilization, and risk). we bridge that gap to help you make fast, defensible infrastructure decisions.
We develop data center strategies that align capacity, location, and cost with your business roadmap. Typical engagements include site feasibility, market comparisons, latency and network analysis, and portfolio rationalization.”
Key Deliverables:
Market scans for colocation and wholesale options in target regions.
Site selection, feasibility, and risk assessments (power, fiber, incentives, geo‑risk).
Portfolio review, consolidation, and edge strategy recommendations.
As a cohesive team, we have effectively applied our data center and GPUaaS (Neocloud) expertise across various diverse industries within the Data Center and Cloud verticals.
Furthermore, our team members have first-hand experience as Founders and/or Co-Founders, enabling us to keenly identify the specific challenges and focus points that Founders & CEOs, VC & PE Managing Directors, may encounter on a daily basis.
