The high-tech world we live in today demands super high speeds in our global IT infrastructure. In this commentary, Ben Miller at Keysight Technologies brings us to the frontiers of the data super highways needed to power the data-intensive applications that we use at work and in our lives.
Pushing the speed envelope with 1.6T data centre networks.
For the last 30 years, modern society has depended on data centre networks.
Networking speeds must continue to increase to keep up with the demand caused by emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and artificial intelligence (AI).
About the Author: Ben Miller is a Product Marketing Manager at Keysight Technologies, with experience in the semiconductor and test & measurement industries. He joined Keysight in 2022 as Product Marketing Manager for Digital Applications Software, promoting software solutions for Keysight’s oscilloscope, AWG, and BERT products. Ben has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.
Further innovation in high-speed data will enable 800 gigabits per second (800G) and 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) network speeds.
Cloud and edge computing: The intelligence factory
A recent trend is the offloading of data processing to external servers.
Hyperscale data centres have popped up globally to support cloud computing networks.
Smaller data centres for edge computing have also become more common for time-sensitive applications.
Data centres have become “intelligence factories” providing powerful computing resources for high-demand applications.
Edge computing is compelling for its impact on AVs.
Instead of hosting a supercomputer in the car to process the sensor data, AVs use smaller servers on the “edge,” dramatically reducing latency.
Cloud computing applications span from controlling factory robots to hosting thousands of VR users in the metaverse.
Today’s 400G data centres are not yet fast enough for many emerging applications, so the networking industry is already looking toward 1.6T.

Kartik Krishnamurthy — Area Vice President, Asia, DocuSign — examines the bottom line on eSignatures, and shares five stats which every CFO should know.
In the face of growing cybersecurity threats and data regulations, CFOs must ensure that the systems that manage their data are compliant and secure from breaches.
In an adverse business environment, CFOs everywhere need hard numbers and strategic data to prove the value of their spending and ensure every dollar supports company goals.
Facing the threat of recession, volatile supply chains and rising costs, today’s executives are tasked with cutting expenses and expanding revenue — all while making decisions that position companies for long-term growth.
With every new investment, CFOs have to answer essential questions:
- How much will it cost compared with other options?
- How will it affect our bottom line?
- When will we see returns?
- How will it make our process more efficient?
- How will it ease risk management and regulatory compliance?
By creating a simpler, faster and more secure contract and agreement process, e-signature helps CFOs cut costs, increase income, safeguard confidential data and support overall flexibility — and it has the numbers to prove it.
