Technology Reseller News has taken a closer look at the general availability of Stack Automation by Quali and what the collaboration between Cisco and Quali means for enterprises and Cisco partners tackling increasingly complex AI infrastructure.
The article highlights how Stack Automation brings automation across the full infrastructure stack, including networking, compute, storage, security, virtualization, GPUs, AI models and applications. By combining Quali’s infrastructure automation with Cisco Validated Designs and security best practices, organizations can turn complex, multi-technology deployments into standardized, repeatable workflows.
It also highlights an important aspect of the platform: customers and partners don’t need to abandon the automation they’ve already built. Existing Terraform, Ansible, Python, Shell and Helm investments can be incorporated into governed workflows, while the Solutions Hub provides validated blueprints spanning Cisco and third-party technologies including Red Hat OpenShift, NVIDIA NIMs, VMware, Qumulo and Veeam.
For Cisco partners in particular, the result is an opportunity to reduce the manual handoffs and integration work traditionally required to bring complex infrastructure together, and get customers from infrastructure planning to usable AI environments faster.
