CHICAGO, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Parallel Works, a provider of the ACTIVATE control plane for hybrid multi-cloud computing resources, today announced its ACTIVATE AI control plane has been named a winner in 2025 TechForward Awards in the Cloud Tech - SaaS category.
As an advanced control plane, Parallel Works ACTIVATE AI simplifies and scales enterprise AI infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud computing environments. By using Kubernetes orchestration organizations are able to run containerized AI/ML workloads alongside HPC, virtualized, and legacy systems, without requiring deep technical expertise. By unifying diverse infrastructure under a single platform, ACTIVATE AI helps enterprises eliminate fragmentation, reduce GPU underutilization, and control costs with features like GPU fractionalization and usage-based chargeback. The platform empowers teams to operationalize AI more efficiently, streamline the transition from research to production, and optimize compute resources across on-prem, cloud, and GPU-as-a-Service environments.
"We're honored to receive this recognition from the TechForward Awards," said Matthew Shaxted, CEO of Parallel Works. "Too many organizations struggle with fragmented systems and underutilized GPU resources, which creates barriers to AI adoption. ACTIVATE AI was built to eliminate those friction points giving enterprises a unified control plane that makes sophisticated AI infrastructure accessible without requiring specialized expertise. This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping businesses operationalize AI faster and more efficiently across any environment."
Global-ready by design, ACTIVATE AI has demonstrated performance across secure, encrypted neocloud environments in Europe and Iceland, with early adopters in aerospace, defense, and climate science already accelerating time-to-value for complex GPU workloads. By unifying fragmented environments and optimizing GPU usage, the platform gives enterprises the infrastructure agility needed to move AI from isolated pilots to scalable, production-ready deployments with reduced operational complexity and friction.
