Spectro Cloud PaletteAI VerteX Launches on AWS Marketplace

Spectro Cloud, the hybrid AI infrastructure company, announced that its PaletteAI VerteX platform is now available in AWS Marketplace to eligible U.S. Department of War (DoW) organizations purchasing through Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) procurement pathways. The listing gives mission owners a new way to acquire a common software foundation for modernizing existing infrastructure and operating AI across cloud, data centers and the tactical edge.

JWCC is DoW’s enterprise, multi-vendor cloud contract vehicle, designed to deliver secure cloud capabilities across classification levels and operational domains. AWS is one of the cloud service providers delivering JWCC services, supporting defense missions from headquarters to the tactical edge. Spectro Cloud’s availability through AWS Marketplace for JWCC adds a procurement option alongside its existing “Awardable” status on the Platform One (P1) and CDAO Tradewinds Solutions Marketplaces.

A common software foundation from data center to tactical edge

Defense organizations run an ever more diverse mix of workloads: from legacy virtual machine applications in on-premises environments, containerized mission software in the cloud, and AI factories, to AI edge inferencing at disconnected forward locations. PaletteAI VerteX gives agencies a unified management experience across all of them.

“The Department of War is moving aggressively to modernize its infrastructure and operationalize AI across the enterprise and tactical edge,” said Matt Heideman, Vice President of Public Sector at Spectro Cloud. “Our collaboration with AWS through JWCC represents a significant step forward in putting these capabilities directly into the hands of mission owners. By simplifying acquisition and accelerating deployment, we’re helping the Department move from technology requirements to operational capability at the speed the warfighter demands.”

PaletteAI VerteX manages the full infrastructure stack, from the operating system and Kubernetes distribution to the applications and AI models running on top. Reusable cluster profiles let teams define approved configurations once and enforce them across fleets of clusters, reducing the manual effort of keeping environments consistent as software changes. Support for virtual machines alongside containers gives agencies a practical modernization path without rewriting every application, and GPU-enabled Kubernetes infrastructure supports validated AI factory architecture for a new generation of mission workloads.

Customer-controlled deployment on AWS

This AWS Marketplace offering delivers PaletteAI VerteX as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for deployment on Amazon EC2 in the customer’s AWS account. Defense organizations operate the management platform within their own AWS environment, retaining control over its configuration and operation. PaletteAI VerteX incorporates FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules and role-based access controls to help protect infrastructure and restrict administrative access.

For JWCC customers, buying through AWS Marketplace means PaletteAI VerteX can be procured against existing JWCC task orders and managed within an existing AWS Marketplace account. This reduces acquisition friction and shortens the time from requirement to operational capability.
