Rafay: Sovereign AI Infrastructure for Government
Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to operationalize AI while maintaining the security, governance, and compliance standards required for mission-critical environments. While investments in GPU infrastructure continue to accelerate, many organizations face a common challenge: transforming raw compute resources into a secure, governed platform that enables teams to build, deploy, and scale AI capabilities.
Rafay helps government organizations bridge that gap.
Rafay provides the platform for building and operating AI Factories: secure, sovereign environments where agencies can deliver AI capabilities through a self-service experience while maintaining centralized control, visibility, and governance. Rather than requiring months of manual provisioning, infrastructure configuration, and approval cycles, Rafay enables agencies to move from GPU infrastructure to AI outcomes in weeks.
Built for the unique requirements of the public sector, Rafay supports deployments across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and fully air-gapped environments. Agencies retain complete control over where data resides, how resources are consumed, and who has access to critical infrastructure. Whether supporting civilian missions, defense programs, research organizations, or Centers of Excellence, Rafay provides a consistent operational model across environments.
Why Government Organizations Choose Rafay
- Sovereign deployment options, including air-gapped and disconnected environments
- Self-service access to AI infrastructure, models, and applications
- Multi-tenant environments that securely support multiple programs, departments, and user communities
- Policy-driven governance and role-based access controls
- Comprehensive audit trails and operational visibility
- Usage metering, showback, and chargeback for resource accountability
- Support for Kubernetes, virtual machines, AI workloads, and inference services through a single platform
- Standardized operations that reduce compliance drift and improve consistency across environments
By combining infrastructure automation, orchestration, governance, and AI consumption into a single platform, Rafay enables agencies to focus on mission outcomes rather than infrastructure management.
Public Sector Use Cases
Building an AI Center of Excellence
A government organization sought to establish a centralized AI platform capable of supporting education, research, and operational workloads while maintaining strict governance requirements.
Outcomes:
- One governed platform supporting multiple user communities
- Secure multi-tenant access across teams and programs
- Usage visibility and cost accountability across departments
- Air-gapped deployment aligned with security requirements
- AI services delivered in weeks rather than months
Modernizing Legacy AI Infrastructure

Outcomes:
- Self-service access for developers, researchers, and mission teams
- Reduced operational burden on platform administrators
- Standardized workflows with built-in guardrails
- Faster onboarding and improved user productivity
- Seamless migration with minimal disruption
Standardizing Infrastructure at Scale
An agency needed to eliminate inconsistent deployments, reduce compliance drift, and establish a secure foundation for enterprise AI adoption.
Outcomes:
- Standardized infrastructure blueprints across environments
- Automated policy enforcement and governance controls
- Self-service provisioning for internal teams
- Reduced operational complexity and manual effort
- AI-ready infrastructure built on a compliant foundation
