SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rafay Systems, the leading provider of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities for cloud-native and GPU and AI consumption, today announced the availability of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 compliance for its self-hosted controller. With this certification, public sector customers can securely deploy the Rafay Platform in GovCloud and other highly sensitive environments while meeting strict federal security standards. Rafay’s ISV customers can also leverage the FIPS-compliant self-hosted controller to deliver their cloud-native apps to public sector customers.
