TestCenter D2 1.6T Appliance

Accelerating Validation for AI-Scale Networks and Hyperscale Fabrics

Engineered to address the unique challenges of AI networking, this comprehensive 1.6T solution spans Layer 2 through Layer 3 and beyond, identifying interconnect bottlenecks, latency hotspots, and fault-tolerance gaps that limit GPU utilization and hinder AI cluster scalability.

Revolutionary AI Data Center Testing Platform

The VIAVI D2 1.6T validates AI infrastructure without the cost of GPU server farms. It generates up to 6.4Tbps of realistic AI traffic across 1.6T to 100G on a single 4-port platform.

Purpose-built for modern AI data centers, the D2 emulates up to 128 GPUs and NICs per port, reproduces real GPU collective communication patterns, validates congestion control under load, and scales to hyperscale AI fabrics, cutting validation cost and deployment time.

The AI Infrastructure Gap

Traditional testing tools have reached their limit. The D2 1.6T closes the three critical gaps costing AI data centers time and money:

  • Traffic Authenticity Gap
    Unlike standard tools that miss MPI-based collective patterns (All-to-All, Ring-AllReduce), the D2 emulates real GPU workloads to ensure your fabric is truly AI-ready.
  • Congestion Control Gap
    While most tools lack granular control, the D2 provides hardware-level per-flow and port-level validation for DCQCN and PFC under realistic AI loads.
  • The Scale/Cost Gap
    Move beyond CapEx-heavy GPU server farms. The D2 delivers repeatable, production-grade certification scenarios at a fraction of the cost of real GPU clusters.
  • AI/ML Workload Generation
    Advanced AI/ML testing and workload traffic generation
  • Flexible interop and conformance testing
    Evolve with industry standards, stay in line with IEEE 802.3df , IEEE 802.3ck, ETC 800GBASE-R, UEC 1.0 specs​
  • Robust 800G performance validation
    Confidently validate forwarding performance, latency, MAC capacity, functional capabilities
  • Comprehensive, end-to-end solution
    Test Layer 2, and Layer 3 for routing/switching and data center applications
  • Integrated approach
    Reduce cost of ownership compared to​ solutions that specialize on specific layers​
  • Vendor neutral
    Resolve challenges at every stage, across the ecosystem, no matter the interconnect strategy​
