Cadence Hosted Design Solutions are available for custom IC design, logic design, physical design, advanced low power, functional verification, and digital implementation.
"Cadence's hosted solution was a good fit for our design team, as it provided an immediately available design environment for my team to utilize from day one," said Jarie Bolander, vice president, R&D, Tagent, Inc. "We found it easy to collaborate with remote teams and get new engineers productive quickly. The adoption of Cadence's Hosted Design Solutions resulted in a seamless design environment that saved us a significant amount of upfront setup.
