Weeks of Manual Infrastructure Work, Condensed to Hours: Quali and Cisco Launch Stack Automation Platform at Cisco Live
Co-engineered with Cisco and powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Stack Automation by Quali automates full-stack enterprise infrastructure deployment from rack to production-ready environment in hours
AUSTIN, TX — June 3, 2026 — Quali today announced the launch of Stack Automation by Quali, a new deployment automation platform co-engineered with Cisco and unveiled at Cisco Live 2026. Offered exclusively through Cisco, the platform automates Day 0 planning and Day 1 deployment of full-stack infrastructure environments spanning compute, networking, storage, AI tooling, security, and observability, compressing deployment cycles that previously took weeks into hours.
Built on Quali’s Torque platform, Stack Automation by Quali integrates Cisco’s validated infrastructure architectures with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, NVIDIA NIM microservices, NVIDIA Nemotron open models, and agentic AI development capabilities. The platform supports Cisco AI PODs as part of Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA, and extends across heterogeneous enterprise environments, orchestrating existing automation assets including Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Python, and Shell alongside Cisco infrastructure from a single governed workflow.
“Enterprise AI infrastructure has become operationally complex at a scale most organizations were never designed to manage manually,” said Lior Koriat, CEO of Quali. “Stack Automation by Quali gives enterprises the operational control layer they need to deploy AI infrastructure consistently, securely, and at scale, without rebuilding from scratch every time.”
“No enterprise should burn weeks of engineering time manually configuring infrastructure every time they need to stand up a new application,” said Jeremy Foster, SVP and General Manager, Cisco Compute. “Whether you’re deploying a traditional workload or standing up a new AI application on a Cisco AI POD, you should be measuring time to outcome in hours, not weeks. That’s what this platform delivers.”
“With NVIDIA Nemotron models, NIM microservices, and NemoClaw agent blueprints as the foundation, Stack Automation by Quali gives customers a fast, secure, policy-governed path to deploy NVIDIA-accelerated AI on their own Cisco Secure AI Factory infrastructure,” said John Fanelli, VP of Enterprise Software, NVIDIA. “It’s how organizations turn individual deployments into production AI at scale, with confidence.”
Stack Automation by Quali ships with over 250 validated, production-ready blueprints covering Cisco software, third-party platforms, and ISV applications. The platform is available in two tiers: Essentials (free) for standard catalog deployments, and Advantage (subscription) for advanced customization, GitOps integration, and agentic design tools. A one-time full-stack service engagement is available for AI POD and Splunk POD deployments.
