Keysight Design Data Management SOS

Keysight Design Data Management (SOS)

Elevate your design data management for hardware design

Simplify Design Data Management

Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) is a flexible, scalable, and secure platform for managing hardware designs and projects from concept to tapeout. Hardware engineers use DDM (SOS) to manage large integrated circuit (IC) design files such as GDS or simulation waveforms. The platform also features advanced revision control, release and derivative design management, and interfaces for issue tracking.

Optimize Network Storage

Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) optimizes network storage without proprietary hardware or operating/file system changes. The platform is purpose-built for integrated circuit (IC) designs containing large files. Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) optimizes workspaces and uses cache servers to save disk space. It eliminates duplication, optimizes network storage, and reduces IT spending.

Tool Connectors

Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) integrates seamlessly with popular hardware design tools from electronic design automation (EDA) vendors such as Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA, and Silvaco. Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) also includes connectors to integrate with software configuration tools like Git, Subversion, and Perforce. And for chip design flows, Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) integrates with Mathworks, Empyrean, and Beanbag.

Problems Keysight DDM (SOS) Can Solve

• Most design tools do not offer version control and release management.

• Managing hardware designs with multiple tools increases time and complexity.

• Companies often struggle with poor network disk usage optimization and weak access controls.

• Not all platforms offer composite object support and IP traceability.

• Companies often struggle to collaborate on multi-site hardware designs at speed and scale.

• Tracking relationships between design issues and changes requires full visibility.

• Reviewing changes and analyzing conflicts can be exceedingly difficult without the proper tools.

How Keysight DDM (SOS) Can Help

Hardware designers can create, update, release, and notify IP and designs directly from the design tool.

Hardware integrators can receive notifications about IP and design updates.

Managers can review changes, analyze conflicts, and approve releases from a single location.
