2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions
Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that the
VIAVI Xgig® CXL Exerciser has received CXL 2.0 Gold
Suite certification from the Compute Express Link® Consortium. This

demand-based resource provisioning through enhanced memory pooling,
switching functionality, and more advanced fabric management.
"We are pleased that our Xgig CXL Exerciser was accepted in the
first round of CXL 2.0 approvals, enabling its use for lab testing
and device certification at CXL Gold Suite compliance workshops,"
said Tom Fawcett, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Lab and Production, VIAVI. "This
significant achievement underscores VIAVI's commitment to providing
our customers with advanced testing solutions for their latest
designs."
"The strong collaboration between the Micron and VIAVI
engineering teams has been important in advancing the CXL
compliance test ecosystem and early adoption of our Micron CZ120
and CZ122 CXL memory expansion products," said Siva Makineni, vice
president of Advanced Memory Systems at Micron. "Additionally, our
joint efforts have helped both Micron and VIAVI intersect with the
upcoming official CXL 2.0 plugfest to demonstrate product viability
