- Emulate, automate, and validate AI and machine learning
workloads for fast, reliable, scalable performance testing of 800GE
layer 2-3 computing tasks
- Portable, office quiet, and energy efficient 50GE to 800GE PAM4
test system
- Run more tests simultaneously, increasing throughput
performance with a multi-port, multi-user solution for silicon,
optical and copper interconnects, and network equipment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces the
Interconnect and Network Performance Tester 800GE Benchtop, a new
multiport, multi-user, and multi-speed portable design and
validation platform that tests artificial intelligence (AI), high
performance computing (HPC), data center interconnects (DCI), and
network infrastructure.
Demand for optical interconnects (optics and fiber cables) and
the 800GE Ethernet interconnects required to build AI, ML, and HPC
network infrastructure is dramatically increasing, with Grand View
Research forecasting a compound annual growth rate of 12.6% for the
DCI market until 2030.
To support this growth, data center providers are focused on
latency, throughput, streamlining operations, intelligence, and
security. Testing is critical for manufacturers and the end-users
of silicon chips, optical transceivers, cables, and network
equipment, who must trust the products they receive have been
stress tested in a real-world environment that realistically
simulates how they will operate in their actual network.
The Interconnect and Network Performance Tester 800GE Benchtop
delivers new capabilities in a quiet, portable, energy efficient
platform that addresses the unique test requirements of
manufacturers of network equipment (NEMs), silicon chips (ASIC),
optics and cables as well as cloud service providers, and data
center operators.
Key benefits of the Interconnect and Network Performance Tester
800GE Benchtop include:
- Quiet, portable and energy efficient operation: The
benchtop unit is lightweight and portable with a small footprint.
The built-in handle enables easy movement within the lab or to
another lab. Manufacturers can also transport the system to events
or customer sites to demonstrate how their products are being
tested, which is not possible with existing difficult to move
rackmount test systems. With “office quiet” operation, the audible
noise specification is only 60 decibels (dBA). The unit supports
high power consumption optical receivers up to 30 watts.
- Increase test coverage: The multi-user, multi-port,
multi-speed platform, available in a 2-port and a 4-port model
allows operators to run more tests simultaneously with 2, 3, or 4
users per chassis. Parallel testing optimizes resource utilization
and test case throughput and minimizes testing time by covering a
wider range of scenarios and configurations to identify bottlenecks
and scalability issues. This capability is not possible with
single-user benchtop test systems on the market. The solution can
test all Ethernet speeds from 50GE to 800GE PAM4 for layers 1
through layer 3 on any port.
- Enhance visibility: Keysight’s IxExplorer software is
included with the Interconnect and Network Performance Tester 800GE
Benchtop chassis and provides an easy-to-use graphical user
interface to manage the hardware. The intuitive and user-friendly
GUI can run on the benchtop itself by connecting a monitor,
keyboard, and mouse – or connecting a computer to a test network
for remote operation by multiple simultaneous users.
- Emulate realistic network traffic: By utilizing
IxNetwork software with the benchtop hardware platform, operators
can simulate authentic real-world network traffic and control plane
protocols. This provides end-to-end test system automation to
benchmark performance and scale of layer 2 and layer 3 network
devices and network protocols.
- Accelerate AI training time: The platform leverages the
validation and design capabilities of Keysight’s AI data center
solutions. This accelerates AI training completion time and reduces
costs by emulating high-scale workloads, providing insights into
collective communication performance, executing defined behavioral
models, enabling flexible ‘what-if’ scenario testing, and offering
pre-packaged applications to further simplify the benchmarking
process.
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager,
Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: "The
rapid growth in AI and HPC infrastructures is driving an
unprecedented need for innovative testing solutions and Keysight’s
mission is to champion these efforts. Our new 800GE benchtop system
represents a significant leap forward in enabling the industry to
validate and deploy the next generation of high-speed networks with
confidence."
Dr. Mike Gao, General Manager, Luxshare-TECH Optical Business
Unit, said: "As demand for high-performance solutions in AI,
HPC, and ML continues to grow, the collaboration between Luxshare
and Keysight is paving the way for future innovation. Our combined
expertise is creating cutting-edge products to meet evolving
customer needs, including 800G DR8 LPO transceivers able to meet
higher speed data rates and performances with limited power
consumption (less than 8W)."
