Atolio, the private AI-powered platform for enterprise search, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, have announced a strategic partnership. Carahsoft will act as Atolio’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s secure, AI-powered search and intelligence platform available to Public Sector organizations through its reseller partners and key government contracts including NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, and OMNIA Partners.
Public Sector organizations face unique challenges in unlocking value from vast internal data while operating under stringent security, compliance, and deployment constraints. Traditional SaaS solutions often fall short in these environments. This new partnership addresses that gap by combining Atolio’s secure, self-hosted AI search capabilities with Carahsoft’s established government procurement ecosystem.
Atolio was purpose-built as a highly secure, entirely self-hosted enterprise search platform that leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to streamline knowledge discovery. It surfaces permission-aware, contextually relevant insights from siloed internal data, directly boosting productivity and service delivery while meeting the highest security standards.
In the Public Sector, where inter-departmental silos frequently hinder information sharing, Atolio aggregates data from diverse sources. This enables employees to quickly identify internal subject matter experts, fostering more effective problem-solving and faster decision-making.
Through the partnership, Government agencies can now procure Atolio to power secure, permission-aware search and AI directly inside their own environments — whether on-premise, in a Government cloud, or in air-gapped Kubernetes deployments.
“The Public Sector operates with unprecedented volumes of data across highly sensitive environments,” said David Lanstein, Co-founder and CEO at Atolio. “By partnering with Carahsoft, we are providing agencies with a way to modernize knowledge access and leverage AI-powered search – all while maintaining absolute control over their data and ensuring that information is delivered to the right people in seconds, not days.”
Atolio is an AI-powered enterprise search platform designed for large organizations operating in complex, security-sensitive environments. Its core capabilities include:
Support for on-premise or self-hosted infrastructure, including air-gapped Kubernetes environments.
Native document-level access controls enforced at the index layer to ensure strict data governance.
Combines fast, metadata-rich search with conversational AI capabilities.
Flexibility for agencies to use their preferred LLM and bring their own license keys.
Already trusted in highly regulated environments, including global financial institutions and the U.S. Air Force.
Tailored protocols designed to safeguard sensitive government information.
These features position Atolio as an ideal solution for Public Sector agencies seeking to modernize knowledge access and improve operational efficiency while retaining full control over their data.
“Carahsoft, alongside our reseller partners, is pleased to add Atolio to our portfolio of innovative AI solutions,” said Natalie Gregory, Vice President for Open Source and DevSecOps Solutions at Carahsoft. “This partnership allows our shared Government customers to access a secure, scalable search platform that addresses the critical need for data sovereignty and mission-critical intelligence.”
This collaboration enables Public Sector organizations to adopt AI responsibly at scale, securely, and within their existing environments. It helps agencies unlock the full value of internal knowledge while adhering to the highest standards of security and compliance.
