True Hybrid Cloud
Cadence offers a True Hybrid Cloud solution for enterprise that allows customers to seamlessly transition to hybrid cloud environments. This solution provides customers with the flexibility and simplicity needed to leverage a single data source and move between cloud, on-premises, or hybrid multi-cloud environments without any intervention from IT teams managing those clusters.
Cadence’s secure and simple-to-use hybrid tools augment your on-premises compute capacity with cloud-based capacity for near-linear speedup for EDA workflows. When running a complex simulation or analysis on-premises, one needs access to peak compute resources at a moment’s notice. This push-button scalability is available from Cadence Virtuoso ADE Cloud for analog simulation, Clarity 3D Solver Cloud for electromagnetic (EM) analysis, and Pegasus TrueCloud for physical verification signoff.

Delivering Scalability and Collaboration
The Cadence Managed Cloud Service and Cadence Hybrid tools are designed to tap into the power of the cloud without the burden of IT heavy lifting. With the Managed Cloud Service, handling steady-state and peak compute demand for EDA needs is fast and easy. Using nothing more than a standard web browser, customers can connect to their own private and secure cloud environment, use the pre-installed EDA chip design tools, launch and monitor jobs, analyze results, collaborate with global design teams and supply chain partners, and sign off their designs. All the software needed to provide ISO-level security, invoke the EDA design tools, schedule EDA jobs, and transfer data comes built -in—there’s nothing to install on the customer’s side. Customers can scale up and scale down their EDA design workloads instantly—no delays, no obstacles, simply faster time to market!
Production Proven
Not only is the Managed Cloud Service EDA platform fast and easy, it builds on Cadence’s expertise developed over 20 years of hosting and cloud provisioning. The platform removes the need for capital infrastructure investments and IT expenses, empowering companies to focus entirely on IC and system design innovation.
That’s why more than 100 companies have leveraged the Managed Cloud Service EDA platform and are delivering cutting-edge innovations across the world. For example, the Managed Cloud Service EDA platform has been used by II-VI, BeammWave, and Novelda for complete front-to-back digital and mixed-signal EDA designs; by M31 for 5X faster results using 10,000 cores for advanced-node library characterization; and by a networking company to sign off a massive 500M instance chip.
Built on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure and available with a front-to-back portfolio of Cadence EDA tools, the Managed Cloud Service EDA platform is helping customers tackle their full-flow EDA designs, as well as their biggest verification, implementation, and signoff challenges, to deliver on schedule!
