The Secure Control Plane for Defense Computing
The First DoD IL5-Authorized Hybrid Multi-cloud Platform for Secure, Efficient, and Scalable Computing Across DoD Networks
ACTIVATE High Security Platform
ACTIVATE HSP is an IL5-authorized hybrid, multi-cloud control plane purpose-built for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), defense contractors, and national laboratories.
In August 2025, Parallel Works was granted a DoD Authority to Operate (ATO) by the High Performance Computing Modernization Program. ACTIVATE HSP provides the fastest path to secure, elastic compute across major cloud service providers and on-premise Defense Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs).
ACTIVATE HSP enables mission teams to launch and manage high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workflows across secure environments—all through a unified, intuitive interface that simplifies provisioning, enforces cost controls, and accelerates operational readiness.
