For customers interested in establishing and maintaining their own cloud environment, Cadence offers the Cadence® Cloud Passport model. With the Cloud Passport, customers gain the contractual ability to place Cadence software 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 within their company. Using this model, customer CAD and IT teams are solely responsible for the setup, maintenance, and support of their own 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.
Cadence® Cloudポートフォリオは、お客様またはケイデンスが管理するEDA作業向けのパブリッククラウドソリューションを提供する包括的なサービスです。Cadence Cloudは、EDA向けに最適化されたパブリッククラウドソリューションを必要とする半導体企業やシステム設計企業向けにカスタマイズされてきました。Cadence® Cloudは、クラウドの活用を熟知している企業に向けた自社対応オプション、CADやITに関する大きな負担なしで稼働可能なケイデンス管理のソリューションなど、企業の規模やパブリッククラウドのノウハウのレベルに応じたソリューションを用意しています。
自社でクラウド環境の構築と保守を行うお客様には、Cadence Cloud Passportモデルをご用意しています。Cloud Passportのお客様は、ケイデンスのソフトウェアを自社のパブリッククラウド環境上で稼動することが可能です。このモデルを使うことにより、お客様のCADチームやITチームは自社パブリッククラウド環境のセットアップ、保守、サポートだけに専念していただけます。現在お客様はこのモデルを、Amazon Web Services（AWS）、Microsoft Azure、Google Cloud Platformなどが提供するパブリッククラウド環境上でお使いいただいています。
クラウド対応ツール
既にケイデンスの様々なソフトウェアが、パブリッククラウドに配備されたコンピューティング・クラスタ上で動作可能です。初期のソフトウェア選定プロセスにおいては、クラウドの持つ大規模な拡張性のメリットを享受できる製品に焦点を当てました。現在、回路シミュレーション、電源およびEM解析、論理シミュレーション、フォーマル検証、物理検証、タイミング・サインオフ、抽出、パワー・インテグリティ、ライブラリ・キャラクタライゼーションなどのケイデンスソフトウェアがクラウドに対応しています。今後もお客様のニーズに応じてケイデンスソフトウェアを追加していく予定です。
柔軟なモデル
Cloud Passportは自社内でクラウド・インフラストラクチャを管理する手段とノウハウを持っている企業に適しています。さらにCloud Passportは他のCadence Cloudサービスと組み合わせることが可能なので、お客様はCloud Passportモデルを契約してクラウド対応ツールを自社パブリッククラウド環境で実行し、さらに、特定のピーク需要やプロジェクトの需要に応じてケイデンスが管理するCloud-Hosted Design SolutionやPalladium® Cloudソリューションを利用することも可能です。
We successfully ran more than 500 million instances flat using the fully distributed Cadence Tempus Timing Signoff Solution on the CloudBurst platform via AWS to complete the tapeout of our latest TSMC 7nm networking chip.
