High performance computing workloads using electronic design automation (EDA) tools require a high magnitude of compute resources to run jobs in a 24/7 queue for design and manufacturing processes. And semiconductor companies need to quickly provision infrastructure on demand to accelerate the chip design process and drive faster time to market. Hear from Ravi Poddar, Pure's Director of EDA Solutions, about the challenges chip companies face to remain competitive and how reliance on only on-premises infrastructure solutions hinders the ability to scale on-demand to run 100,000s of compute simulation jobs. We discuss the recent announcement of a connected cloud offering that solves this problem by extending EDA jobs into Azure Cloud backed by data hosted on FlashBlade® in an Equinix location. This new solution helps accelerate EDA workloads while addressing concerns around IP security, data governance, costs, and cloud lock-in.
