Keysight to show AI infrastructure test tools at OCP 2026 summit
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) will present a range of AI infrastructure validation solutions at the 2026 OCP Global Summit in San Jose, California, from October 12 to 15, according to a company press release.
At booth #C83, Keysight will demonstrate two new 1.6T Ethernet test platforms: the SERT 1600GE data center switch and edge router test solution, and the AresONE Plus 1600GE platform, which the company claims is the first to deliver eight 1.6T Ethernet ports in a single 2U appliance with stateful AI workload generation capability.
The company will also demonstrate multi-vendor interoperability of Ethernet Scale-Up technologies, including what it describes as the first live public demonstration of Link Layer Retry running over 200G SerDes-based 1.6T speed. Additional demonstrations will cover Scale-Across validation of RoCEv2 AI workloads, large-scale 64x800GE mix-of-collectives emulation, Scale-Out validation with MRC/SRv6, and inference workload performance using Keysight's AI Inference Builder.

Joint demonstrations at the event will involve Alibaba Cloud, Cisco, HPE, and Nvidia.
Cisco SVP of Engineering Will Eatherton said the collaboration with Keysight helps validate architectures "under realistic RoCEv2 workloads, congestion, and network conditions," adding that a 64x800GE mixed-collective workload demonstration with Cisco Nexus One would bring workload-level validation to scale-out fabrics.
Keysight staff will also participate in six speaker sessions at the summit covering topics including AI infrastructure validation, digital twins, switching ASIC benchmarking, and accelerator silicon validation. Sessions are scheduled across Monday through Thursday, with speakers presenting alongside representatives from Nvidia, Alibaba Cloud, Alibaba, and Meta.
