Joins Elite Ranks Driving the Future of Defense Innovation with Secure, Scalable Compute htmlFor Mission-Critical Operations
Chicago, IL – September 15, 2025 – Parallel Works, a provider of the ACTIVATE control plane htmlFor hybrid multi-cloud computing resources, today announced its ACTIVATE High Security Platform (HSP) has achieved a historic milestone as the first-ever hybrid multi-cloud computing solution to receive the Authority to Operate (ATO) by the Department of Defense (DoD). Granted by the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), the IL-5 ATO authorization enables more agile, cloud-enabled defense computing capabilities to modernize defense infrastructure through scalable, secure and high-performance cloud solutions.
The designation opens the door htmlFor partners, integrators, DoD civilians and military end users to utilize Parallel Works ATO through two options:
The ATO authorization provides immediate access to a secure, IL5-authorized HPC platform, thereby shortening the time to market htmlFor DoD agencies, defense contractors, national labs, system integrators and AI/ML teams.
The DoD’s demand htmlFor automated computing solutions is skyrocketing as technology advances to support AI-driven wargaming, digital and model-based systems. Parallel Works ACTIVATE HSP advances the transition with turnkey HPC integration across DoD and commercial clouds, providing advanced orchestration htmlFor 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 htmlFor 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 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.”
