Getting AI from pilot to production is a widespread problem.
Spectro Cloud is the fast lane: we help enterprises, sovereign AI clouds and public sector organizations build, govern and operate AI infrastructure in any environment, from edge to cloud, and from metal to token factory.
Were proud that customers like GE HealthCare, Yum! Brands, the U.S. Air Force, and other organizations trust us with their biggest infrastructure challenges, from zero-downtime operations across thousands of sites to standing up production AI in 30 days.
Behind those results is PaletteAI, our AI infrastructure management platform built for scale. Its the only platform that manages VMs, containers and AI workloads in one place, with one operating model, and consistent policy, access and cost controls everywhere. It runs wherever you do, including air-gapped, sovereign and regulated environments.
Every team starts somewhere, whether thats standing up an AI factory, cutting inferencing costs, moving off VMware, scaling the edge or taming a Kubernetes fleet. Pick the problem in front of you today, start with a single-cluster turnkey appliance, then grow to thousands of clusters at your pace.

Strand was founded by biological engineers working together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Building on the idea of creating smart therapies capable of making sophisticated decisions, they sought to apply this concept to the emerging field of mRNA therapeutics. This area was previously untapped by traditional synthetic biology, leading us to build our very own mRNA programming language, creating the world’s first platform for mRNA smart therapies.
Strand’s mRNA programming technology promises to make mRNA therapies safer and more effective by programming the location, timing, and intensity of therapeutic protein expression inside a patient’s body via mRNA-encoded logic circuits. These circuits have the ability to implement cell-type specific expressions by sensing and classifying the unique mRNA expression signatures of cells and control the dosage of protein expression through responses to exogenously administered small molecules.
