Keysight launches AI infrastructure validation tools
At OFC next week, Keysight is launching an integrated, scalable 1.6T validation stack designed for AI data center fabrics and the high-speed interconnects that feed them.
On the network side, the AresONE 1600GE with KAI Data Center Builder enables engineers to emulate large-scale AI compute nodes, load-test next-generation 800G/1.6T networks with production-like workloads, and correlate signal integrity, protocol behavior, and application-level KPIs.
On the interconnect side, the new FITS-8CH platform brings digital-layer error-performance validation to the full lifecycle of 400GE, 800GE, and 1.6T interconnect designs. The solution checks how high-speed cables behave and automatically fine-tunes each signal lane. This ensures that cables meet the reliability demands of modern AI data centers.
Together, these solutions give engineering teams a unified way to prove AI fabric performance and interconnect reliability under real-world conditions, accelerating time to market and reducing the risk of costly field failures in AI data centers.
