Evaluate Strategic Platforms Before You Invest

Risk-Free, Real-Time

The Fierce Innovation Lab is a secure, hands-on environment built with Dell Technologies, Red Hat, and GitLab. Hosted at our Herndon office and with full remote access, our lab accelerates the ability of government agencies and system integrators to safely explore technologies such as Red Hat OpenShift, OpenShift Virtualization, GitLab’s CI/CD capabilities, GitOps, and DevSecOps workflows in a realistic, mission-aligned setting.

Designed for federal IT practitioners and decision-makers engaged in:

Infrastructure Modernization
Cloud Migration
DevSecOps Adoption

Meeting Mission-Critical Challenges

Federal agencies face intense pressure to modernize legacy infrastructure, adopt cloud-native architectures, and secure the software supply chain — all while delivering mission-critical services. The Fierce Innovation Lab is a safe, focused, and supported space for customers who want to see tools in action, try them in their context, and apply DevSecOps practices without risking production systems.

The Value of Hands-On Learning

COST SAVINGS:

Lower risk through realistic experimentation

and pre-production validation

FASTER MODERNIZATION:

Hands-on evaluation of container platforms,

GitOps, and virtualization migration

BUILT-IN-SECURITY:

Exposure to mature DevSecOps practices

using real tools, not just concepts

STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT:

Infrastructure, security, and

development teams see the same solution

Move beyond theory. Explore secure, automated DevSecOps pipelines in a live Red Hat OpenShift

environment—built for real workloads and mission execution.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Migration

With the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV), customers can move legacy VMs into OpenShift—demystifying a high-risk process while aligning with DevSecOps goals like automation, repeatability, and controlled rollout.

Migration planning and demo
Network and storage configuration
Post-migration workload management
Built-in automation and repeatability aligned with DevSecOps goals

Red Hat OpenShift AI

Manages the lifecycle of predictive and generative AI models, at scale, across hybrid cloud environments.

GitOps & Secure DevSecOps with GitLab

Interact with CI/CD pipelines built with DevSecOps principles ensuring that development speed doesn’t come at the expense of security. With GitLab and OpenShift combined, customers see how DevSecOps works as a system.

Deploy infrastructure and workloads from Git
Automatically trigger security scans, image validations, and compliance checks
Enforce RBAC-based approvals and policy gates
Provide full audit trails for every deployment or rollback

GitLab Duo

Brings even more automation and speed into the process with smart code suggestions, summaries, and insights.
