Parallel Works Unveils AI Partner Ecosystem, Simplifying Access to Next-Generation AI Infrastructure

Parallel Works Inc., a provider of the ACTIVATE control plane for hybrid multi-cloud computing resources, announced the launch of its ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem. This connected and flexible AI ecosystem accelerates AI infrastructure innovation, simplifies operations and supports next-gen AI at-scale. As the control plane for the next gen of AI infrastructure, ACTIVATE AI provides unified access to neocloud platforms and orchestration tools with vendor-neutral, flexible deployment options across hybrid computing environments.

“The global surge in AI adoption – from large language models to domain-specific applications – is driving demand for more than just GPU access. Organizations need flexible, integrated ecosystems to build, train and deploy AI at scale,” said Matthew Shaxted, CEO, Parallel Works. “Traditional infrastructure is too rigid, and managing fragmented tools across clouds slows innovation. Our Partner Ecosystem, combined with ACTIVATE AI, provides unified access to specialized compute – enabling an open, scalable AI ecosystem that puts control back in the hands of the user.”

As AI workloads grow more complex, dynamic and seamless integration with top neocloud GPU providers is foundational to a growing ecosystem. By partnering with a diverse set of GPU providers and orchestrating AI workloads across hybrid environments, the ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem Program provides organizations with vendor-neutral, flexible deployment options across hybrid compute environments, including:

Unified Access to Specialized Compute
Whether training large language models (LLMs) or deploying real-time inference, users can access a variety of GPU types – without being tied to a single vendor.
Orchestration Across the AI Stack
By abstracting away infrastructure complexity, users can focus on model development rather than DevOps. The platform integrates with container-based workflows (e.g., Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines and data tools.
Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Freedom
Vendor neutral support of hybrid and multi-cloud deployments gives organizations the power to move AI workloads across environments based on evolving requirements.
Resource Optimization and Collaboration
The ACTIVATE AI ecosystem supports intelligent workload placement, shared resource pools and budgeting controls.
Ecosystem-Driven Innovation
ACTIVATE AI is designed to integrate with a growing ecosystem of AI tools, platforms and services, providing users with access to the best innovations in AI infrastructure without being locked into a rigid solution stack.

A Partner Ecosystem for AI Innovation
The ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem Program offers access to cutting-edge GPU capacity via neoclouds and aggregators, providing secure access to Kubernetes environments with GPU pooling, as well as vendor-neutral, distributed object storage. Channel partners can also integrate ACTIVATE AI control plane for hybrid cloud bursting with distributed storage.

GPU-as-a-Service / Neocloud Partners

“Our partnership with Parallel Works reflects a joint commitment to driving AI innovation through an open ecosystem – making it easier, faster, and more cost-effective for customers to deploy AI at scale worldwide,” said Kevin Cochrane, CMO, Vultr.
“We are thrilled to be a part of the ACTIVATE AI Ecosystem Partner Program as it truly is connecting users to high-performance GPUs, giving teams access to the right compute for the right task. Together with the Parallel Works software platform and the Voltage Park scalable GPU cloud, customers can have the control and monitoring they want and moreover need when provisioning very expensive cloud resources. This will result in streamlined provisioning and a lower overall OPEX when leveraged properly,” stated Brandon Peccoralo, vice president, sales & partnerships, Voltage Park.
“We are built to overcome the challenges of deploying AI at scale. Our partnership with Parallel Works does that and more – seamlessly and on-demand,” aded Hai Vo-Dinh, senior director of product, Canopy Wave.

GPU Aggregators

“Valdi simplifies access to high-performance compute across clouds and platforms. With Parallel Works, users can orchestrate AI workloads faster and with less friction. Together, we’re enabling a more open, scalable AI infrastructure,” said Jacob Willoughby, CTO, VALDI, a division of Storj.
“We are dedicated to helping businesses unlock the power of HPC to drive their next breakthrough. Teaming with the ACTIVATE AI Ecosystem Partner Program helps organizations take advantage of the best of streamlined GPU and technology deployment,” mentioned Ben Moore, Co-Founder & CEO, GPU Trader.
“Shadeform was founded on the belief that developers should be able to freely choose where they run their compute workloads. We are pleased to be part of Parallel Works ACTIVATE AI ecosystem, working together to enable seamless, vendor-neutral access to the world’s GPU supply chain,” conluded Ed Goode, Co-Founder & CEO, Shadeform.

Technology

“Researchers and engineers running sensitive workloads need end-to-end trust in their Kubernetes environments. ACTIVATE is making that possible, and QLAD is proud to contribute workload-level protections that extend that trust to every mission-critical workflow,” said Jason Tuschen, CEO, QLAD.
“Juice’s solution provides fine-grained control over GPU resources, enabling dynamic allocation, improved job scheduling, and higher overall utilization. In combination with ACTIVATE AI, HPC teams can increase session density per GPU and accelerate compute-intensive workflows, leading to faster innovation and stronger ROI on existing infrastructure,” added Dean Beeler, Co-Founder & CTO, Juice.

Storage

“Storj provides high-performance, globally distributed storage that’s both resilient and cost-efficient. Through ACTIVATE AI, teams gain seamless, vendor-neutral access to data across environments. Its storage built for modern AI-fast, scalable, and ready for what’s next,” maximized Jacob Willoughby, CTO, Storj.
