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 SUSE Virtualization, 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 SUSE Virtualization 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 SUSE Virtualization 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 It addresses high operational costs, rigid architectures, and security vulnerabilities of outdated systems by offering a portable, hyper-converged infrastructure solution optimized for edge, field, and zero-trust operations.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 SUSE Virtualization, Rancher, and SUSE Security, 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.
