The Benchmark of Evolution
Keysight Technologies Inc. has joined forces with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. to pioneer a groundbreaking performance benchmarking methodology for Cloud and Edge Infrastructure, setting a new standard across diverse industry use cases. This revolutionary methodology, engineered using AMD EPYC processors in tandem with Keysight software tools, is poised to revolutionize system performance evaluation, empowering high-speed digital designers, data center operators, and network equipment manufacturers.
Testing Real-world Capabilities
The innovative testing methodology offers invaluable insights into the true capabilities of the infrastructure, generating immersive sessions with realistic scenarios and simulating a myriad of activities across millions of devices. It delivers crucial information on the infrastructure’s competence in managing authentic applications, as well as voice and video traffic, which is particularly significant in mobile and 5G private networks serving specialized areas like vision-based smart manufacturing, extended reality (XR) viewership, and retail workflows.
Performance at the Core
Keysight’s performance benchmark prioritizes the processing power of central processing units, enabling operators to optimize performance from chosen CPUs and evaluate their efficiency across various parameters through realistic traffic emulation. This feature illuminates the CPU’s capacity and scalability, rectifying past issues associated with traditional benchmark frameworks that overlooked the CPU’s ability to handle large numbers of concurrent devices. The insights gained from this assessment furnish data center operators with the precision needed for infrastructure provisioning.
The Digital Transformation Dilemma
As traditional single-dimensional benchmarking methods prove inadequate for advanced use cases, global industries face an exponential rise in mobile and 5G private networks. To match the swift pace of digital transformation, enterprises require a sophisticated compute architecture capable of supporting millions of low-latency, high-bandwidth devices. Keysight’s all-encompassing benchmarking solution adeptly evaluates infrastructure performance in processing high volumes of data traffic, ensuring superior performance across an extensive array of industry applications.
Growth Potential and Industry Impact
With a robust 5G portfolio, Keysight is well-positioned to capitalize on the electronic content surge in vehicles, the momentum in space and satellite applications, and the increasing adoption of driver-assistance systems globally. The company is gaining traction amid robust industry-wide growth, driven by the solid adoption of its electronic design and test solutions, which form the backbone of IoT services, wireless devices, data centers, and 5G technologies.
Despite its recent 1.4% decrease over the last year in comparison to the industry’s 4.3% growth, Keysight’s strategic collaborations and innovative advancements reinforce its standing as a key player in transforming cloud and edge infrastructure.
