FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DoD Authorizes Parallel Works’ Hybrid Multi-Cloud Platform for high-Security Computing
CHICAGO – September 15,2025 – Parallel Works,a provider of the ACTIVATE control plane for hybrid multi-cloud computing resources,today announced its ACTIVATE High Security Platform (HSP) is the first hybrid multi-cloud computing solution to receive Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Department of Defense (DoD).
The ATO, granted by the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), enables more agile, cloud-enabled defense computing capabilities and supports the modernization of defense infrastructure through scalable, secure, and high-performance cloud solutions. This authorization allows partners, integrators, dod civilians, and military end users to utilize Parallel Works’ ATO through two avenues: as a shared service on NIPRnet via HPCMP, or by leveraging the ACTIVATE HSP software stack to inherit required compliance and security boundaries within the government ecosystem.
This designation provides immediate access to a secure, IL5-authorized HPC platform, accelerating time to market for DoD agencies, defense contractors, national labs, system integrators, and AI/ML teams. The DoD is experiencing increasing demand for automated computing solutions to support advancements in AI-driven wargaming, digital and model-based systems. Parallel Works ACTIVATE HSP facilitates this transition with turnkey HPC integration across DoD and commercial clouds, offering advanced orchestration for real-time simulation and AI analytics.
“Achieving an ATO shouldn’t be a barrier to innovation,” said Matthew Archuleta, Vice President of Operations at Parallel Works. “our High Security Platform delivers the fastest path to ATO for DoD users and integrators with a secure,compliant foundation,enhanced data security,unified compute resource management and built-in orchestration via infrastructure as code.The HSP platform lets mission teams focus on capability, not paperwork, and speeds deployment of AI, HPC and other emerging technologies across the defense ecosystem.”
The Parallel Works hybrid, multi-cloud computing HSP is one of only three software programs approved to handle export-controlled workload environments, including International Traffic in Arms (ITAR), DoD IL5, and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
The Parallel Works ACTIVATE hybrid, multi-cloud HSP is available instantly.
