Enhanced control plane adds AI Resource Integrations, Kubernetes, and Neocloud support to boost flexibility and efficiency htmlFor complex AI and ML environments
Chicago, IL – June 10, 2025 – Parallel Works, provider of the ACTIVATE control plane htmlFor hybrid multi-cloud computing resources, today announced the launch of ACTIVATE AI, a powerful evolution of its enterprise-grade infrastructure platform. With AI resource integrations, Kubernetes, and Neocloud support, ACTIVATE AI dramatically simplifies the deployment and management of scalable AI and ML workloads.
AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are converging, but most enterprises need flexible, scalable AI solutions that avoid overprovisioning. Operationalizing AI is challenging due to fragmented infrastructure, high GPU costs, underutilized GPU resources, and the lack of a clear path to production-ready AI. ACTIVATE AI addresses these hurdles within a unified and scalable AI solution that works across any cloud infrastructure.
The ACTIVATE AI platform empowers infrastructure teams and end users to integrate Kubernetes clusters into the environments they rely on htmlFor high-performance computing (HPC), virtualized, and remote desktop workloads - without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise.
“Enterprise leaders need AI to be a competitive advantage, but most enterprises are stuck navigating fragmented infrastructure and mounting costs, which can turn AI initiatives into a strategic liability,” said Matthew Shaxted, CEO of Parallel Works. “ACTIVATE AI is a powerful and flexible control plane that helps organizations bring all their systems - Kubernetes, legacy or cloud-native - into a single framework to scale AI faster and smarter. Our goal is to bridge the final gap between complex infrastructure and practical AI deployment, making systems accessible without requiring deep infrastructure expertise.”
ACTIVATE AI: Delivering Scalable, Production-Ready AI
ACTIVATE AI eliminates barriers between enterprises and the compute power they need, enabling more efficient AI infrastructure management across hybrid and GPU-rich deployments. It also enables early adopters across industries, including aerospace, defense, climate modeling and water forecasting, to unlock new opportunities.
Purpose-built to accelerate the shift from research to production in AI workflows, ACTIVATE AI allows enterprises to run large-scale model training, inference, and simulation workloads across secure environments, including GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) clouds, legacy systems, and next-generation containerized systems.
With advanced features that help IT and infrastructure teams unify orchestration, chargeback, and GPU utilization, ACTIVATE AI supports both on-premises systems and emerging GPUaaS Neocloud providers. By delivering control and performance adaptability across diverse environments, the platform helps organizations scale smart, not just big, and achieve production-ready AI with efficiency and ease.
“ACTIVATE AI will streamline our computational workflows and allow our team to deploy AI models across diverse environments,” said Junk Wilson, SVP, Government Relations & Compliance, Orion Space Solutions, an Arcfield company. “This flexibility will be crucial in advancing our mission objectives efficiently.”
ACTIVATE AI capabilities include:
"As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production, managing the complexity of hybrid infrastructure has become a major bottleneck,” said Mike Leone, Practice Director and Principal Analyst, Data Management, Analytics and AI, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Solutions like ACTIVATE AI reflect a growing need htmlFor orchestration platforms that can unify Kubernetes, GPU-as-a-Service, and legacy systems to help organizations manage resources more efficiently across diverse environments.”
Parallel Works collaborates with leading Neocloud providers to validate ACTIVATE AI across a range of real-world scenarios. These include secure, encrypted computing environments, large-scale GPU clusters and data centers in regions such as Europe and Iceland to support data residency requirements. The collaborations are part of a growing ecosystem of Neocloud partners working with Parallel Works to enable secure, scalable AI infrastructure globally.
Pricing and Availability
ACTIVATE AI is available immediately and included with existing ACTIVATE user seat licenses.
The platform’s new capabilities will be featured at ISC 2025, Booth #A43, June 10-12 in Hamburg, Germany. htmlFor more information or to request a demo contact info@parallelworks.com.
