Andris Gailitis

I am the CEO of DELSKA, a data center and IT infrastructure company in Northern Europe, and the author of the Cloud, Colo & Data Center Pro newsletter. This site is where my LinkedIn articles live in one place – practical, opinionated analysis of the infrastructure that runs the digital economy.
Passionate about innovation and operational excellence, I help organizations unlock business value through technology. With over 30 years of leadership in the Baltic IT industry, I specialize in building and managing enterprise-class data centers, delivering cloud and managed services, and driving complex IT infrastructure projects.
As an experienced board member, I have a proven track record in business mergers, digital transformation, and M&A initiatives. My expertise spans the full lifecycle of data center operations – from design and construction to optimization and total cost of ownership (TCO) management. I bring a disciplined, results-driven approach to delivering secure, reliable, and efficient IT environments.
What I write about
- AI infrastructure – GPU clusters, power and cooling economics of the AI era
- Data centers – design, operations, liquid cooling, heat reuse and EU regulation
- Cloud & colocation – hyperscalers vs. specialists, repatriation, real TCO
- Security & digital sovereignty – why regional infrastructure is a national priority
Other projects
Two side projects, both built on the same instinct as this site: if the data is already public, someone should be reading it systematically. Both are automated, both show their sources, and both are honest about what they cannot tell you.
Baltic Sonar – an experimental open-source activity index for the Baltic region. It aggregates publicly reported, security-related news from open sources into a single daily signal, with a map and a multi-language view. The analysis is automated and AI-generated: an awareness tool, not verified intelligence, and clearly labelled as experimental.
Baltic Basket – plain answers about what everyday life actually costs in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia: heating, electricity, fuel, food, firewood, gas and rent. Every number carries the date it describes, its full history, and a link to the open data it came from. No index, no interpretation – just the numbers, sourced.
