Quali announced a major capability expansion for Torque, its intelligent infrastructure management platform.
The expanded Torque platform is designed to serve as a unified control plane for enterprise AI infrastructure across bare metal, traditional CPU workloads, multi-cloud, hybrid, on-premises, edge, GPU, and AI environments.
Quali said traditional cloud management portals and container orchestration tools were built to manage individual resource types in isolation.
Torque is designed to replace fragmented infrastructure management with unified governance, continuous intelligence, cost visibility, and agentic infrastructure control.
The platform supports Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, Helm, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, and major Infrastructure-as-Code and configuration formats.
Quali said Torque does not require organizations to replace their existing tooling. Instead, it normalizes automation into standardized building blocks and makes infrastructure discoverable, governable, cost-accountable, and operable across an organization.
For teams that prefer not to work in code, Torque includes a GenAI-powered environment designer that translates natural language prompts into production-ready Infrastructure-as-Code.
Quali said the infrastructure code remains present and auditable, while remaining invisible to users who do not need to interact with it directly.
The expanded Torque platform is designed to understand the full context of an environment, including what is running, who owns it, its purpose, cost, performance status, and optimization needs.
Quali said this context allows governance and cost intelligence to be measured against business outcomes rather than invoices alone.
The expanded platform includes continuous discovery and automatic codification capabilities.
Torque can scan cloud accounts, on-premises systems, and Git repositories to identify deployed resources regardless of how or where they were provisioned.
The platform can also convert live configurations into governed, reusable Infrastructure-as-Code.
Quali said Torque can bring shadow IT, manual deployments, and untagged resources under governance without disrupting existing workflows.
The platform also includes outcome-linked cost governance.
Cost controls can be established at the time of provisioning, and each environment can be tagged with owner, team, and business purpose.
Torque continuously identifies idle and orphaned resources and can deny policy-violating deployments before they generate cost.
The expanded Torque platform also includes continuous drift detection and remediation.
The system compares live environments against intended configurations across infrastructure types and can detect, alert, and initiate remediation when drift occurs.
Torque also maintains context across active environments, including resource composition, ownership, cost trajectory, utilization patterns, and health status.
Quali said this information powers optimization recommendations, anomaly detection, and an AI Copilot that helps teams make infrastructure decisions throughout the lifecycle.
The platform also supports governance for sovereign AI and regulated deployments, including policy enforcement, data residency controls, and audit trails embedded from provisioning.
Torque can also act as a control plane between autonomous AI agents and the infrastructure they consume.
A live Model Context Protocol server allows compatible agents to provision environments, query status, inspect drift, and trigger lifecycle workflows within role-based policy boundaries.
Torque also supports full-stack infrastructure management from bare metal to cloud, including governed physical server provisioning, OS imaging, network configuration, and lifecycle management.
Quali said 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 by Quali extends the foundation with orchestration for Cisco AI infrastructure environments, while Torque brings the same platform intelligence to broader enterprise markets across vendors, clouds, and infrastructure stacks.
The expanded Torque capabilities are available now.
Quali said it is trusted by about 100 enterprise customers globally and supports more than 40,000 environment launches monthly.
KEY QUOTE:
“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.”
