On October 14, Boost Run, a provider of Artificial Intelligence (AI) specialized cloud infrastructure powered by NVIDIA Corporation’s and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a strategic partnership. Through the partnership, Carahsoft will serve as Boost Run’s public sector distributor, making the company’s enterprise-ready, compliance-certified GPU cloud platform available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and National Aeronautics and Space Administration Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (“SEWP”), National Association of State Procurement Officials (“NASPO”) ValuePoint, The Interlocal Purchasing System (“TIPS”) and OMNIA Partners contracts.
The partnership addresses the growing demand for secure, high-performance computing resources needed to power AI inference, training and machine learning initiatives across the public sector. Boost Run’s platform, which provides direct access to the latest NVIDIA GPU technology including B200, H200, H100, RTX PRO 6000, L40S and ADA 6000 GPUs, provides government agencies and enterprises with the computational power required for large language models, training, inference and complex data analytics workloads.
“Partnering with Carahsoft is a significant step forward in Boost Run’s mission to bring our enterprise-grade GPU cloud infrastructure to the public sector,” said Andrew Karos, CEO at Boost Run. “Government agencies and educational institutions are increasingly looking to leverage AI capabilities, but they need infrastructure that meets strict security and compliance requirements. We believe our SOC 2, ISO and HIPAA-compliant platform offering, combined with Carahsoft’s understanding of Government procurement, creates a powerful solution for these organizations.”
”The addition of Boost Run to our portfolio strengthens Carahsoft’s and our reseller partners’ ability to support customers’ AI training, inference and machine learning initiatives,” said Michael Adams, program executive for AI solutions at Carahsoft. “As government agencies accelerate their adoption of AI technologies, they need GPU infrastructure that’s both powerful and compliant with federal security standards. Boost Run’s platform delivers on both fronts, and we believe it will have significant, positive impact on our joint public sector customers.”
The partnership between Boost Run and Carahsoft enables government agencies to procure Boost Run’s GPU cloud services through Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (“IaaS”) and multicloud solutions through Carahsoft’s numerous contract vehicles. This streamlines the procurement process and ensures compliance with government purchasing requirements.
