Cadence has opened an independent AI data center in Munich, Germany, which supports the OnCloud and Reality Digital Twin platforms from the company, as well as the Cadence Millennium M2000 AI Supercomputer. This data center utilizes Nvidia Vera and Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs and offers “secure, European sovereign cloud infrastructure” for electronic design automation (EDA), simulation, and AI tasks, according to Cadence.
The place has received accreditation for ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and SOC 2 Type II specifications, thus enlarging Cadence’s European cloud presence. The data center will enhance the present European cloud resources, including the top public cloud provider infrastructure in Frankfurt.
The company’s Reality Digital Twin platform permits customers to design, validate, and optimize next-generation AI infrastructure prior to deployment. Cadence has stated that it will employ the platform in the Munich facility to enhance the design and operation of its compute infrastructure, increase energy efficiency, and decrease operational risk. “Europe’s semiconductor and system design community demands secure infrastructure that supports innovation without infringing on data sovereignty,” said Paul Scannell, SVP of the global customer success team at Cadence.
By integrating Nvidia Vera and Grace CPU platforms with the Cadence Millennium M2000 Supercomputer, and offering these features via Cadence OnCloud, we are equipping European engineering teams with the computational power, design intelligence, and adaptability necessary to construct the upcoming generation of AI-driven chips and systems. “Chip designs and AI infrastructure are crucial resources for European businesses, and sovereignty entails being able to cultivate both while safeguarding the associated data,” stated Tim Costa, Nvidia’s VP and GM of industrial and computational engineering. By integrating Cadence, we are incorporating NVIDIA’s accelerated computing into European cloud-based design processes, and incorporating Omniverse libraries into AI factory simulations.
Firms can develop the silicon and ensure the infrastructure to operate it, including power supply and cooling, within a European setting created to safeguard their design information. Cadence OnCloud, a cutting-edge service, is now accessible to European customers on secure infrastructure.
It comes equipped with advanced computing features such as Nvidia Vera and Grace systems, the Cadence Millennium M2000 AI Supercomputer, and instances of the Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform. These additions are part of the ongoing growth of the Munich data center, focusing on IT Hardware & Semiconductors.
