Keysight showcases AI Infrastructure Validation advances across Scale-Up, Scale-Out, Scale-Across networks to inference at 2026 OCP. New solutions, large-scale AI workload emulation, multi-vendor interoperability, and end-to-end inference validation demonstrations on show to help accelerate next-generation AI infrastructure Published on 10/09/2026 at 11:01 am EDT Business Wire Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) will showcase a broad portfolio of AI infrastructure validation solutions at the 2026 OCP Global Summit in San Jose, October 12 - 15. Working with leading industry partners at the event, Keysight will demonstrate how it is helping technology developers, infrastructure providers, hyperscalers, and operators validate increasingly complex AI systems under realistic conditions before deployment. At booth #C83, Keysight will show its latest innovations for validating rapidly evolving AI infrastructure, as the industry moves toward 224G SerDes and 1.6T Ethernet interconnects, open scale-up connectivity, larger scale-out fabrics, scale-across architectures spanning data centers, and increasingly demanding inference workloads. Keysight industry collaborations at OCP 2026 will include joint demonstrations with Alibaba Cloud, Cisco, HPE, and NVIDIA. Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: "AI infrastructure is evolving from individual components into highly interconnected systems spanning Scale-Up, Scale-Out, Scale-Across, and production inference. At 2026 OCP, we will show how Keysight is helping the industry recreate realistic AI environments before deployment so engineering teams can understand system behavior at scale, identify bottlenecks earlier, and accelerate the transition across design to deployment continuum." Keysight highlights at 2026 OCP will include: * Two new 1.6T Ethernet test platforms: Keysight will show the SERT 1600GE data center switch and edge router test solution, and the AresONE Plus 1600GE platform, the industry's first to deliver eight 1.6T Ethernet ports in a single 2U appliance and provide stateful, realistic AI workload generation with mix-of-collectives emulation. * Open Ethernet Scale-Up interoperability: A demonstration of multi-vendor interoperability of emerging Ethernet Scale-Up technologies, with the first live public demonstration of Link Layer Retry (LLR) running over 200G SerDes-based 1.6T speed. * Scale-Across validation: Demonstrating resiliency and performance validation of RoCEv2 AI workloads across Scale-Across networking, enabling engineering teams to evaluate how latency, congestion, buffering, packet loss, and resiliency affect workload-level performance as AI infrastructure extends across data centers. * Large scale 64x800GE Mix of Collectives emulation: Keysight will emulate 64x800GE NIC and GPU endpoints driving a mix of AI collective workloads across a 2x2 CLOS fabric. The joint showcase enables developers to evaluate fabric utilization, congestion, load distribution, and workload performance under more representative AI traffic before deploying large-scale GPU infrastructure. * Scale-Out validation with MRC/SRv6: Keysight will demonstrate multi-path MRC traffic using SRv6 uSID-based source routing, showcasing resilient path and plane failover, congestion mitigation through packet trimming, and sustained application performance. * Inference scale and performance: Keysight AI Inference Builder will generate realistic inference workloads against a live inference stack while correlating workload performance with compute, GPU, memory, and network telemetry. Keysight will collaborate with industry leaders to jointly demonstrate how realistic workload emulation and system-level validation can help the industry identify issues sooner, evaluate interoperability, and gain confidence in AI infrastructure before deployment. Will Eatherton, SVP Engineering, Data Center and Internet Infrastructure, Cisco, said: "As AI clusters push beyond the power and physical limits of a single data center, scale-across is becoming a critical new dimension of AI networking. This is more than traditional data center interconnect: distributed AI workloads require massive bandwidth, resiliency, and the ability to absorb traffic bursts without compromising application performance. Cisco Silicon One P200 is purpose-built for this transition, combining 51.2 Tbps of bandwidth with deep buffering and Cisco 800G ZR+ coherent pluggable optics help deliver predictable performance as AI workloads extend across data centers. In addition to using real GPU server clusters, our collaboration with Keysight helps validate these architectures under realistic RoCEv2 workloads, congestion, and network conditions. In parallel, a 64x800GE mixed-collective workload demonstration with Cisco Nexus One brings the same workload-level validation to scale-out fabrics, helping customers understand how their AI networks will perform before deploying GPU infrastructure at scale." Throughout the conference, Keysight experts will participate in 2026 OCP speaker sessions, covering AI infrastructure validation, scale-up networking, digital twins, switching, and accelerator validation.

Keysight Technologies has launched the Velocity 4900 Series, a line of Layer 1 automation switches designed to modernise network test labs. The switches enable software-controlled testbed configuration, allowing engineering teams to dynamically manage test equipment through a graphical interface. The series addresses bottlenecks in physical connectivity that slow testing for AI, 6G, and next-generation networks. Many test labs still rely on manual cabling and physical topology changes, limiting equipment utilisation and preventing integration with automated CI/CD workflows. The initial release includes two models: the Velocity 4902, supporting Ethernet speeds from 100 megabits per second to 100 gigabits per second with 72 QSFP28 ports, and the Velocity 4906, featuring 288 SFP28 ports supporting speeds up to 25 gigabits per second.
