Streamline Design Data Management for Scalibility and Collaboration

Streamline your integrated circuit (IC) design data across multiple workflows from concept to tapeout with Keysight Design Data Management (SOS). While software engineers commonly use software configuration tools, IC design engineers choose Keysight Design Data Management (SOS) to handle massive volumes of design data. Formerly known as Cliosoft SOS, Keysight SOS enables IC design teams to optimize the archival of substantial graphic design system (GDS) files and simulation waveforms with scalability, flexibility, and robust security features. The advanced revision control, coupled with release and derivative design management capabilities, sets Keysight DDM (SOS) apart from the competition.

With Keysight DDM (SOS) software, IC designers can:

  • Accelerate hardware development lifecycles to take on more projects
  • Adapt to the growing heterogenous integration of digital, analog, mixed-signal, and radio frequency (RF) designs with adjustable hardware configuration management capabilities
  • Effortlessly collaborate on multi-site designs with remote cache servers, auto synchronization, and secure data transfer and handoff

Adopt a More Productive Workflow

Built for hardware design and management, Keysight DDM (SOS) software lets you:

  • Create, update, and release intellectual property (IP) and designs with complete control and management directly from your design tool
  • Receive notifications of updated IP and designs to help guide selection, updates, and integration
  • Review changes, analyze conflicts, and approve releases easily

Optimize Network Storage, Reduce Costs

Keysight DDM (SOS) optimizes network storage without proprietary hardware or changes to operating or file systems. Designed for integrated circuit (IC) design projects that often involve thousands of large files, Keysight DDM (SOS) software maximizes workspace efficiency while minimizing disk space usage. By leveraging cache servers, DDM (SOS) eliminates duplication, ensuring that only actively edited files are stored as physical copies.
