Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency has authorized Palantir Federal Cloud Service Forward, extending the company’s existing Impact Level 5 and Impact Level 6 Provisional Authorizations to include on-premises and edge deployments.
The authorization allows Palantir’s technology stack, including Apollo, Gotham, Foundry, and AIP platforms, to be deployed across various environments from enterprise data centers to tactical edge locations on customer-selected hardware.
PFCS Forward provides a single accreditation package that adapts to different architectures, from large-scale data center deployments to mobile configurations designed for vehicle deployment. The system enables what the company describes as an “authorize once, use many” model.
The authorization provides a Provisional Authorization package with an eMASS record that customers inherit, potentially reducing the time required to obtain Authorization to Operate by eliminating site-specific implementation and assessment of software security controls.
“The future of warfighting demands software that can operate anywhere—from enterprise data centers to the tactical edge,” said Akash Jain, President and CTO of Palantir USG. “PFCS Forward delivers on that promise with a hardware-agnostic authorization that enables mission-critical capabilities to be deployed with the survivability and resilience our warfighters need.”
The authorization enables multivendor architectures at edge locations and supports Palantir FedStart and Mission Manager programs for on-premises and edge deployments alongside cloud services. Information for this article was based on a company press release.
