Cadence's Labs on Cloud

Have you ever wanted to try out any Cadence tools or VIPs evaluation without going through the process of getting evaluation licenses, software download and installation and all that logistic stuff? Now you can do all that without all that hassles. Cadence has tied with Xuropa for their cloud computing platform so that all you need is high speed broadband for any Cadence tools/VIPs evaluation.

Using Xuropa Online Labs, you can run an evaluation using the Incisive Enterprise simulator, following instructions for a self-paced demo. All the software runs on Xuropa servers, and there is nothing to purchase, license, install, download, or upload.
