Half of the top semiconductor companies rely on Pure to
fast-track innovation
MOUNTAIN
VIEW, Calif., May 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that
delivers the world's most advanced data storage technology and
services, is empowering electronic design automation (EDA)
workloads and accelerating next-gen chip design.
Modern EDA chip development requires high-performance storage
that can serve thousands of powerful servers and extremely fast
networks in all dimensions of concurrency—throughput, IOPS,
latency, fast deletes, capacity and metadata—to eliminate
bottlenecks that slow data access. While legacy storage
architectures add unnecessary complexity and either saturate or
scale inefficiently when faced with modern EDA workloads, Pure
FlashBlade was designed from the ground up to meet the
high-concurrency requirements of semiconductor and EDA workloads.
As a result, 50 percent of the top 10 semiconductor companies rely
on the solution to remain competitive and expedite time to
market.
By consolidating two traditionally separate storage
paradigms—file and object storage—into one performant data
solution, FlashBlade enables organizations to replace siloed
collections of data with a single scale-out storage solution that
delivers multidimensional performance at scale. This combination of
file and object storage protocols with the low latency, massive
parallelism, and high throughput capabilities of enterprise all
flash storage, make it the ideal storage solution for EDA
workloads.
Pure Storage is continuing to grow its EDA footprint with more
companies than ever now using FlashBlade for analytics and
technical computing to expedite modern chip design processes as
their chip design business units grow rapidly. In fact, software
developers are seeing workloads finish more than 5x faster than the
status quo with FlashBlade and benefiting from up to 2.5:1 data
reduction through compression. Customer examples include:
- A leading company in the semiconductor industry that leverages
FlashBlade's fast performance and stability for Rapid Restore to
maintain a more stable production line, a fast development cycle,
and a cost-effective development environment through data
reduction.
- A major electronics and smart home technology company is using
FlashBlade to finish more EDA jobs and bring chip design to market
faster. Furthermore, performance at scale with minimal intervention
enables smoother management and frees up staff for other
tasks.
- A multinational semiconductor, software and wireless technology
company cites FlashBlade for helping the company reach its CAPEX
and OPEX goals with simplified management and superior performance
capable of meeting the demands of modern unstructured data that EDA
workloads require.
- Another FlashBlade EDA customer creating chip design software
reported a greater than 10 times improvement in run time of its
highly concurrent software build and regression workload — with
runtimes repeatedly decreasing from six hours to 20 minutes.
FlashBlade's simplicity, performance and scalability are driving
tomorrow's next-generation chip designs and its ability to scale
input/output (I/O) efficiently under massive parallelism is making
a significant impact on semiconductor designers globally. By
speeding up all aspects of the design flow — from RTL design to
tapeout — FlashBlade helps customers release products faster, with
higher quality and lower cost, and improves engineering
productivity with the ability to do more designs at the same time.
Additionally, customers can take advantage of FlashBlade at Equinix
with Microsoft Azure for EDA, to leverage cloud-adjacent storage
for EDA workloads.
