Customers managing their own cloud environments using the Cadence Cloud Passport model now have the option to get support from Cadence-authorized cloud enablement providers to accelerate cloud adoption for chip design projects. Inaugural members include commercial partners Rescale, Scala Computing Inc. and Nimbis Services, Inc., as well as academic partners CMC Microsystems and EUROPRACTICE.
Customers using the Cadence Cloud Passport model often have significant investments in on-premises IT and CAD infrastructure and also need to deploy and customize their own cloud-based design environments. Moving to the cloud often requires new knowledge and capabilities that not every company possesses, which leads to delays and unplanned spending. Recognizing this gap, Cadence has recruited and qualified cloud enablement companies with experience and capabilities to make the move to a customized cloud environment much easier.
Commercial customers benefit from a broad range of solutions and support options, while academic users gain a new method for deploying and maintaining their design environments.
Partners provide accelerated provisioning of customized cloud environments from months to weeks depending on scope of the engagement. With the help of a Cadence-approved partner, customers can confidently use the cloud for design projects no matter the complexity of their flow or environment.
Partners also provide tailored offerings to address specialized requirements, such as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), multi-cloud access and academic and research use cases, which improve collaboration and accelerate design innovation.
In addition to commercial organizations realizing the potential of the cloud in electronics, the Cadence Academic Network, which promotes the use of Cadence technology by universities and research institutions around the globe, is collaborating with CMC Microsystems and EUROPRACTICE to further cloud adoption in academia.
The Cloud Passport Partner Program gives institutions another way to deploy Cadence tools, effectively expanding tool usage among the next generation of engineers and researchers.
