Fierce Innovation Lab

Evaluate Strategic Platforms Before You Invest

Risk-Free, Real-Time

Lab Logo White

The Fierce Innovation Lab is a secure, hands-on environment where teams can try out new technology in a real-world setting. Built with Dell Technologies, Red Hat, and GitLab, the lab is available both in our Herndon office and remotely so you can safely explore, test, and learn from anywhere. It’s designed to help public sector teams get comfortable with modern tools, improve workflows, and see what works before making big decisions.

Great for teams working on:

  • Modernizing infrastructure
  • Moving to the cloud
  • Adopting DevSecOps practices

Meeting Mission-Critical Challenges

Federal agencies are under constant pressure to modernize systems, move to the cloud, and keep everything secure, all while delivering on their mission every day. The Fierce Innovation Lab gives you a safe and supported place to try things out first without risking production systems.

The Value of Hands-On Learning

COST SAVINGS:

Test ideas early, reduce risk, and avoid costly mistakes down the line.

FASTER MODERNIZATION:

Try out modern tools firsthand so you can make decisions with confidence.

BUILT-IN-SECURITY:

Experience how security works in real workflows, not just in theory.

STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT:

Give your teams a shared view of what the solution actually looks like in practice.

Move beyond theory, see it in action. Step into a live environment built for real workloads and mission execution.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Migration


Moving legacy virtual machines doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In the lab, you can see how the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) simplifies the process. You can move workloads into OpenShift in a controlled, predictable way, while supporting modern, automated workflows.

  • Plan and test migrations
  • Set up network and storage
  • Manage workloads after they’ve been moved
  • Use automation to make the process repeatable and consistent

Red Hat OpenShift AI

Manages the lifecycle of AI models at scale across environments

  • Deploy infrastructure and workloads
  • Automate security and compliance checks
  • Control changes with built-in approvals
  • Track everything with full visibility
