Quali today announced a major capability expansion for Torque, its intelligent infrastructure management platform. The platform operates as a single, intelligent control plane spanning bare metal, traditional CPU workloads, multi-cloud, hybrid, on-premises, edge, GPU, and AI environments, replacing infrastructure fragmentation with unified governance and reactive operations with continuous intelligence.

Rather than requiring organizations to replace existing tools, Torque operates natively with Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, Helm, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, and all major infrastructure-as-code and configuration formats. It normalizes everything into standardized building blocks and makes resources discoverable, governable, cost-accountable, and operable across the organization. For teams preferring not to work in code, Torque includes a GenAI-powered environment designer that translates natural language prompts into production-ready infrastructure as code automatically, with the underlying code remaining fully auditable and present.

The platform distinguishes itself by understanding environment context holistically: not just what is running, but who owns it, what purpose it serves, what it costs, whether it is performing as intended, and how it should be optimized. This context makes governance actionable and cost intelligence meaningful, with spend measured against outcomes rather than invoices.

Lior Koriat, CEO of Quali, stated: "Every enterprise managing AI infrastructure today is dealing with a version of the same problem: environments provisioned across too many tools, by too many teams, with too little visibility into what is running, what it costs, and whether it is delivering value. Torque was built to solve that problem at its root, not by adding another management layer, but by becoming the intelligence layer that makes every other tool in the stack governable, measurable, and aligned to outcomes."

Torque shares its platform core with Stack Automation by Quali, the AI infrastructure operations platform co-developed with Cisco and announced at Cisco Live 2026. Stack Automation extends that foundation with purpose-built orchestration for Cisco AI infrastructure environments, available exclusively through Cisco and its partner network. The Cisco partnership validates the platform's enterprise credibility.

Quali is trusted by approximately 100 enterprise customers globally and supports over 40,000 environment launches monthly. The company was named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for AI Assistants for Infrastructure as Code in March 2026. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Quali leads in AI infrastructure management and environment-as-a-service automation.
