Booth C3, Emerging Tech Experience. A live look at collaborative research inside the boundary, with nothing landing on the endpoint.
Our superpower
Cloud-Agnostic. Portable. Yours.
We deliver infrastructure-as-code you can deploy anywhere. And we mean anywhere.
The same platform that runs in a commercial data center today can deploy to an air-gapped SCIF or a forward-deployed field operation tomorrow.
No vendor lock-in. No architectural compromises. No waiting.
Today. Not someday.
The platform
Built for Real Operations
Whether you're conducting sensitive research, serving federal missions, or pursuing defense contracts, we understand your unique requirements.
Virtual Desktops
Windows and Linux desktops for researchers and analysts who need native applications.
Kubernetes Clusters
Production K8s with integrated container registry and CI/CD. Build, store, and deploy your applications in the same security boundary.
Enterprise File Storage
Secure collaboration and CUI handling built in, not bolted on.
Continuous Compliance
FIPS-validated cryptography, STIG-hardened systems, and real-time monitoring.
Deploy Anywhere
Commercial cloud, on-premises, air-gapped, or tactical edge. The platform travels with you.
Deployment
One Platform. Any Environment.
The same secure architecture deploys wherever your mission requires.
● Fully Managed
Hermathena Cloud
Full-featured secure platform on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure. Managed virtual desktops, secure storage, and continuous compliance for research institutions, agencies, and contractors.
● Disconnected
Hermathena Tactical
The same platform, purpose-built for disconnected and contested environments. Air-gapped facilities, SCIFs, disaster response, and forward operations.

Research Institutions
Universities managing CUI under federal grants. Legacy Windows environments, dual-use equipment, research workflows that require native applications and full desktop functionality. We get it.

Infrastructure-as-code you can deploy on any cloud, any data center, or any edge location. No vendor lock-in.
Built for Complexity
Periods processing, dual-use equipment, Windows research environments. We understand the edge cases that break other solutions.
