The Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing provides many benefits for businesses seeking to improve overall performance. 

Scalability

Cloud computing allows companies to scale up or down at any time without a long-term commitment. Scaling can be done quickly and easily without downtime or disruption.

Improved Agility and Productivity

With cloud computing, you can quickly respond to changes in business requirements by adapting and deploying services. Cloud computing also frees your staff to focus on delivering value instead of maintaining hardware and software.

Cost Savings

Cloud computing can save you money on infrastructure. Companies can forgo data centers and physical servers and simply pay for what they use. That way, nothing sits idle. Cloud also enables organizations to transfer their expenses from a CapEx to an OpEx model, helping them streamline their overall IT budgets.

Unlimited Storage

The cloud provides unlimited storage. Companies no longer have to buy more hard drives or manage an expensive data center to increase storage capacity. 

Safety

Cloud providers keep their customers' data safe by investing in security. Providers use tools, such as data encryption and access controls, to enforce high-security levels. 

Cloud computing has been around for about two decades, but many organizations, especially in the chip-design and development business, still don't take advantage of its business efficiencies, benefits, and competitive advantages. Instead, they continue to rely on on-premises equipment and tools that are expensive and inflexible.

Challenges with On-Premises EDA Tools

It's no secret that companies using on-premises EDA tools face many challenges. Depending on your company's size, you might not have enough computing power to develop the latest chips, which require more processing power than older ones. The increasing use of artificial intelligence in design tools and workflows drives higher demand for flexible access to computing resources and EDA tools.

Moving away from a well-understood and reliable on-premises investment model can feel risky. These days, small and medium-sized businesses often don't have the money to invest in infrastructure. They don't have the time, expertise, space, and budget to grow their platform. On-premises engineering platforms, however, are likely to require significant legacy investments to support operational consistency. 

Additionally, on-premises infrastructures aren¡¯t flexible and become outdated quickly. Small and mid-sized companies face major issues whenever their on-premises data center can¡¯t handle the workload or needs to complete a project quickly. They can't scale up their on-premises capacity fast enough, even if they want to. 

EDA licenses can be expensive, and the need for them is hard to predict. Chip design is limited by the cost, availability, and complexity of the right EDA tools. Also, licensing models can differ among vendors and users. Unused capacity can drive up costs and disrupt operations. 

Cloud-based EDA tools can help you overcome these challenges and focus on what you do best ¨C design chips, faster. Benefits of cloud-based EDA include ability to access unlimited EDA software on-demand, leverage pre-defined EDA flows that are ready to go with pre-optimized compute configurations, and access to infrastructure and licenses all in one place.
