GCP – Google Public Sector and Palantir collaborate to bring Google Cloud to FedStart

At Google Public Sector, we are committed to helping our customers execute their missions. Now, we’re expanding this commitment by adding support for Palantir’s FedStart platform, so public sector customers can utilize software and applications on Google Cloud’s accredited infrastructure through the Palantir FedStart platform.

Palantir FedStart helps U.S. government agencies achieve compliance, scale operations, and access innovative mission-critical solutions from leading independent software vendors (ISVs), including many built natively on Google Cloud. The combination of world-class solutions, Google’s global-scale infrastructure and security, and Palantir’s turnkey compliance will accelerate innovation across U.S. government agencies. This will provide government agencies with certified solutions across multiple cloud platforms, while upholding the highest security and compliance standards.

Our collaboration with Palantir also gives ISVs a faster path to accreditation and impact. At launch, the first ISV to use this new capability is Anthropic. Its Claude for Enterprise application will be available to federal government agencies through Palantir FedStart on Google Cloud.

By partnering with industry leaders to bring cutting-edge technologies to the U.S. government, Google can accelerate public sector mission impact and outcomes. Key benefits of this offering include:

• Accelerated ISV onboarding: Palantir’s FedStart solution will streamline the FedRAMP High and IL5 accreditation process for ISVs built on Google Cloud.
• Enhanced AI capabilities: In addition to Gemini on Google Cloud, government customers will gain access to Anthropic’s Claude for Enterprise and Palantir’s technologies that back the FedStart offering on Google Cloud – including Apollo, Rubix, Foundry, and AIP.
• Secure and scalable infrastructure: Google Cloud’s secure and scalable infrastructure will ensure the reliable and responsible deployment of AI solutions for sensitive government use cases, as opposed to the inherent limitations of legacy GovClouds. To thrive in this AI-driven era, our public sector customers need a modern cloud partner offering unmatched scale, features, and security that GovClouds cannot deliver, which is why we are committed to certifying our entire U.S. cloud infrastructure at IL5.

We continue to invest in our accredited commercial cloud, ensuring the public sector gets what the private sector gets: the same features, services, and computing power that are critical for AI workloads. Today, we have 140 services accredited at FedRAMP High. We have an extensive data center footprint for FedRAMP High workloads, with nine U.S. regions to choose from. Building on this foundation, this offering with Palantir helps make cutting-edge technology solutions more accessible to the U.S. government, particularly for those operating with highly sensitive data, by providing a secure and authorized environment for leveraging advanced technology.

Google Public Sector has a proven track record of success in partnering with U.S. government agencies like the Navy, Air Force, and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to power mission-critical operations. Palantir Fedstart and Anthropic’s Claude for Enterprise, available soon on Google Cloud, further underscores our commitment to the public sector. By combining Google Cloud’s secure and FedRAMP-compliant infrastructure with Palantir’s expertise in software solutions for government, U.S. government agencies will be able to utilize the latest advancements in AI and software technology to drive mission impact and outcomes.
