Introduction to Customer-Managed Cloud Passport
Learn more about the key benefits and features of cloud-ready EDA tools that customers can deploy in their own cloud environment.
Overview
Cloud Solutions that Fit Your Needs
For customers interested in establishing and maintaining their own public cloud environment, Cadence offers the Cadence Cloud Passport model. With the Cloud Passport, customers gain the contractual ability to place Cadence tools in their own public cloud environment. Customers maintain ownership of their public cloud relationships and serve as the only point of contact with the public cloud vendor they have chosen to deploy Cadence software. Using this model, the customer’s CAD and IT teams are solely responsible for the setup, maintenance, and support of their public cloud environment. Current customers have used this model with several different public cloud vendors, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Features
Cadence Tools in Your Cloud Environment
Cloud-Ready Tool
Cloud-ready tools are tested and qualified for use on all leading public cloud platforms to ensure customers get the same high-quality experience in the public cloud as they would in an on-premises setting. Cadence’s cloud-ready software includes tools for circuit simulation, power and EM analysis, logic simulation, formal verification, physical verification, timing signoff, extraction, power integrity, and library characterization.
Flexible Models
The Cloud Passport is suited for companies who have the means and expertise to manage their own cloud infrastructure internally. Additionally, the Cloud Passport can be combined with any other Cadence Cloud offering, so customers can subscribe to the Cloud Passport model to run cloud-ready tools within their own public cloud environment, and at the same time, leverage Cadence’s Managed Cloud Service or Palladium and Protium Cloud platform for specific peak or project needs.
Cloud Passport Partners
Moving to the cloud often requires new knowledge and capabilities that not every company possesses. The Cadence Cloud Passport Partner Program gives customers an easier path to the cloud by connecting them with knowledgeable service providers authorized to deploy Cadence tools in public cloud environments.
