Cisco Systems Success with Synopsys Cloud Solution

This case study details the successful implementation of Synopsys Cloud by Cisco Systems, Inc. to address specific project challenges in library characterization. Cisco faced a time-critical project requiring completion within three months, along with licensing constraints and long setup times for their EDA environment. The Synopsys Cloud solution provided Cisco with unlimited EDA tool licenses and scalable compute resources through a pay-per-use licensing model. This deployment allowed Cisco to significantly reduce the project timeline from three months to just four weeks, enabling rapid access to necessary resources. The case study also highlights the peak utilization of 1,200 CPUs achieved within a week, showcasing the effectiveness of the Synopsys Cloud solution in overcoming licensing and infrastructure challenges. Additionally, the Synopsys Cloud platform received CASPR certification after passing Cisco's Vendor Security Assessment, further validating its suitability for Cisco's needs. Cisco plans to continue leveraging Synopsys Cloud for future projects to enhance productivity and speed to market.
