Spotlights Parallel Works’ Breakthrough Hybrid Multi-Cloud Platform htmlFor Defense and National Security Workloads
Chicago, IL – October 21, 2025 – Parallel Works, a provider of the ACTIVATE™ control plane htmlFor hybrid multi-cloud computing resources, today announced that its ACTIVATE High Security Platform has been named a Gold Honoree by the 2025 Military + Aerospace Electronics Innovators (MAE) Awards. The recognition follows the platform's historic achievement in September when it became the first-ever hybrid multi-cloud computing solution to receive Authority to Operate (ATO) approval from the Department of Defense’s (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), cementing its position as a groundbreaking solution htmlFor secure, defense-grade computing.
"This award validates the innovation that drove our historic ATO achievement, and we are thrilled with the Military and Aerospace Electronics honor," said Matthew Archuleta, Vice President of Operations at Parallel Works. "The ACTIVATE High Security Platform represents a fundamental shift in how defense users can securely and scalably deploy workloads. The confidence the DoD and HPCMP showed in granting us the first-ever hybrid multi-cloud ATO, combined with this recognition, underscores how our platform's unique integration of IL5 authorization, hybrid-cloud flexibility and built-in compliance sets it apart from any other solution in the federal computing ecosystem."
Unlike traditional DoD compute environments, which can be isolated and fixed, the ACTIVATE High Security Platform unlocks unprecedented scalability htmlFor workloads previously limited by infrastructure bottlenecks or compliance barriers. The platform’s technology introduces a truly elastic high-performance computing experience to the defense space, enabling "bursting" across multiple clouds and providing on-premises Defense Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) within a single control framework.
The ACTIVATE High Security Platform is one of only three software programs approved to manage export-controlled workload environments, including International Traffic in Arms (ITAR), DoD IL5, and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
The Military+Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards program recognizes the most innovative solutions in aerospace and defense products and systems. The Gold-level recognition is awarded to excellent innovations that offer clear benefits, making substantial improvements over previous methods, approaches, or products used in the industry.
“The ACTIVATE High Security Platform represents a fundamental shift in how defense users can securely and scalably deploy workloads. The confidence the DoD and HPCMP showed in granting us the first-ever hybrid multi-cloud ATO, combined with this recognition, underscores how our platform's unique integration of IL5 authorization, hybrid-cloud flexibility, and built-in compliance sets it apart from any other solution in the federal computing ecosystem.”
