DPG SPaaS
As businesses navigate the demands of digital transformation, the need for secure, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure becomes paramount. Developers and general users alike require robust platforms that not only support modern applications but also enhance operational efficiency. DPG’s Secure Platform as a Service (SPaaS) is an innovative on-premise private cloud solution designed to meet these needs.
DPG’s SPaaS modernizes legacy infrastructure with a secure, scalable hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) and operates seamlessly in air-gapped environments. Powered by Harvester, an open-source HCI platform, and Rancher Kubernetes Engine version 2 (RKE2), the solution bridges traditional virtualized systems with modern containerized ecosystems, enabling seamless operations across core and edge environments.
Secondarily, DPG’s SPaaS offers a fully portable, tactical-ready platform that brings enterprise-grade infrastructure to the edge, no data center required. Engineered for rapid deployment in air-gapped and field environments, SPaaS delivers powerful hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) capabilities on compact hardware. With minimal compute, memory, and storage requirements, and built-in support for VLANs and high-speed networking, it empowers teams to run virtual machines and containerized workloads seamlessly using Harvester and RKE2. Whether at the core or in the most remote locations, SPaaS ensures mission-critical performance anywhere.

Why DPG’s SPaaS?
1. What big problem does your technology solve?
DPG’s Secure Platform as a Service (SPaaS), built on Harvester and RKE2, solves the critical challenge of delivering scalable, secure, and enterprise-grade infrastructure to disconnected, air-gapped, or tactical environments, without reliance on traditional data centers or legacy virtualization platforms like VMware. It addresses high operational costs, rigid architectures, and security vulnerabilities of outdated systems by offering a portable, hyper-converged infrastructure solution optimized for edge, field, and zero-trust operations.
2. What makes SPaaS a transformational technology, and how does it meet the criteria for being considered truly innovative and mission-ready?
SPaaS is transformational because it integrates hyper-converged infrastructure, Kubernetes container orchestration, and Zero Trust security into a compact, hardware-agnostic platform that supports both virtual machines and container workloads at the tactical edge. It eliminates vendor lock-in by using open-source tools like Harvester, Rancher, and NeuVector, and supports rapid deployment in air-gapped environments. With minimal resource requirements and STIG-compliant design, SPaaS modernizes legacy systems and brings cloud-native capabilities to environments where traditional solutions fall short, redefining what’s possible in disconnected and mission-critical operations.
3. How does SPaaS represent a transformational technology, and in what ways can it directly support and enhance Warfighter capabilities in the field?
SPaaS equips the Warfighter with the ability to deploy mission-critical applications and services, such as secure virtual desktops, real-time data analytics, and containerized apps, directly in field environments, even when completely disconnected from central infrastructure. Its compact form factor, rapid deployment model, and hardened, zero-trust architecture ensure resilience, operational continuity, and secure decision-making at the edge, ultimately enhancing situational awareness, mission agility, and response time in contested or austere conditions.
