Federated console for HPC + AI
Every cloud, cluster, classification, GPU contract, and site. One console.
The fabric that connects your clusters, your clouds, and your GPU contracts — hosting the applications and enforcing the policy, in every environment you operate.
- Any cloud + on-prem
- hyperscaler, neocloud, your floor
- IL5 ATO
- FedRAMP High baseline
- Since 2015
- federating compute
Built for speed. Built for security.
Turn a GPU contract into a running environment in days
Procuring capacity takes months and standing it up takes more. ACTIVATE meets the hardware where it is — your cluster, a hyperscaler, a dedicated GPU provider — and hands your teams a governed environment with SSO, budgets, Slurm and Kubernetes on day one.
- →Scientists train models instead of managing infrastructure
- →Spend attributed per project, team, and user in real time
- →Existing workflows run unchanged
Inherit an accredited boundary instead of building one
ACTIVATE holds an IL5 ATO on the FedRAMP High baseline and spans commercial clouds and on-prem DSRCs. Third-party mission software is served inside that boundary today, with CAC/PIV identity and full audit built into the platform.
- →Began as a DIU prototype, transitioned to production
- →IL6 in prototype, rolling out across SDREN DSRCs
- →Labeled data planes and accredited cross-domain mediation
One control plane, every capability
ACTIVATE federates your clusters, clouds, and GPU contracts into one governed console — without changing how your teams already operate.
Engineers who deploy alongside you
Every ACTIVATE program license includes a Parallel Works mission engineering team. They stand the environment up, operate it, support your users, and carry escalation, with custom integration work available when you need it. Small teams can license per user instead, with support included. The software is the tool; your work running is the outcome.
A life sciences customer told us their blood pressure goes down when they talk to Parallel Works.

Federal multi-cloud research computing run without interruption since 2020 — the longest-standing proof that this model holds up.
Biomedical researchers reach their computing resources through one console — across genomics, pathology, and drug development — without managing the infrastructure underneath.
