Spectro Cloud is a San Jose enterprise software company, founded in 2019, whose PaletteAI platform manages Kubernetes, AI and GPU infrastructure across VMs, edge and air-gapped environments.
Spectro Cloud is a San Jose-based enterprise software company founded in 2019 by Tenry Fu, Saad Malik, and Gautam Joshi. Its business is a hard one: making Kubernetes and AI infrastructure manageable across complex environments. The PaletteAI platform builds, deploys, governs and operates full-stack infrastructure spanning virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, AI infrastructure, edge environments, and regulated or air-gapped locations, and is available as self-hosted, SaaS, or air-gapped deployments. A companion offering, Launchpads, provides turnkey starting points for VM modernization, local inference and edge operations, which customers extend into centralized lifecycle management, governance and fleet-wide orchestration.
The company measures its work in operational outcomes rather than abstraction. It reports production AI delivered in 30 days, GPU utilization increased by 70%, and inference token costs cut by 70%. Its named customer organizations are Airbus, T-Mobile, GE Healthcare, Dentsply Sirona, RapidAI, the U.S. Air Force and America's Navy - a roster spanning aerospace, telecommunications, healthcare, defense and the public sector, alongside neocloud and sovereign-cloud providers globally.
The technical surface is unusually wide: Kubernetes, AI and GPU infrastructure, virtual machines, edge computing, networking, cloud-native technologies, infrastructure lifecycle management, governance and fleet orchestration, inference optimization, and infrastructure in air-gapped and regulated settings. Working environments include the United States public sector and a global enterprise footprint. Engineers here operate at the point where infrastructure theory meets production constraints - security- and compliance-oriented work, direct engagement with demanding customers, and a culture oriented toward quantified customer value.
