Overview
The Keysight AresONE 800GE (formerly the Ixia AresONE line) is a fixed 2RU multi-speed Ethernet performance test system that supports 800GE, 400GE, 200GE, 100GE and legacy NRZ speeds in a single platform. Each port can be fan-out configured into 2x400GE, 4x200GE or 8x100GE using the built-in 106.25 Gb/s electrical lanes, or 1x400GE / 2x200GE / 4x100GE / 8x50GE using the 53.125 Gb/s lane mode.
With up to 6.4 Tbps of test traffic per chassis and stacking to 64 ports of line-rate 800GE, AresONE is built for validating the switches, NICs, smartNICs/DPUs, optical transceivers and copper DACs that make up AI training and inference fabrics. It pairs with IxNetwork/IxOS for L2/L3 protocol emulation and RFC benchmarking.
Key Benefits
One platform for 10G-800GE validation cuts lab cost and re-cabling; 6.4 Tbps per chassis with stacking to 64 ports scales to real AI-fabric port counts; KP4 FEC and eye-histogram analysis catches 800G signal-integrity marginality before deployment.
Applications
AI/GPU data-center switch and fabric validation; 400G/800G NIC and DPU bring-up; 800G optical module and DAC qualification; data-center interconnect (DCI) testing; hyperscale network equipment acceptance.
