The new hall is tailored for customers with
one or more server racks, who want their
IT environment housed in one of Sweden’s
most secure and environmentally efficient
data centres.
DigiPlex CEO Gisle M. Eckhoff, said: “The
companies turning to DigiPlex want the
Nordic region’s most sustainable, energy
efficient and secure colocation. At our
data centre outside Stockholm, we now
offer a dedicated server hall with the same
high quality for customers with smaller
storage needs.
“Data centres are at the core of all
digitalisation and companies that place
their servers with us can assure their
customers and users that their data centre
solution is future proof.”
DataCom is one of several companies that
have chosen the new DigiPlex colo hall.
“DataCom is in an expansive growth phase
due to a large influx of new customers
into our hosting business. To meet the
growing demand from our customers for
communication and hosting services, it
was therefore natural to choose DigiPlex
as our partner to complement our own
data centres,” says Mario Hellqvist, CEO
DataCom AB.
Innovium selects Synopsys’ IC
Validator for physical signoff
ynopsys has announced
that Innovium, Inc, a
leading provider of
networking solutions for data
centres, has adopted the Synopsys
IC Validator tool for physical signoff.
S
Innovium deployed IC Validator on
its flagship 12.8 terabit-per-second
(Tbps) throughput TERALYNX switch.
To meet its aggressive time-to-
market schedule, Innovium used
IC Validator across more than 250
CPU cores to take advantage of IC
Validator’s performance scaling.
IC Validator completed full-chip
design rule checking (DRC) and
layout-versus-schematic (LVS)
signoff on TSMC’s 16-nanometer
(nm) FinFET process within one day.
“Physical verification is on the critical
path to our tapeout. Early physical

verification closure is essential to ensure
that design schedules are met,” said
Keith Ring, Vice President of Technology
at Innovium.
“IC Validator performance enabled
us to complete full-chip DRC and LVS
signoff within a day for our flagship
network switch design.”
IC Validator, a key component of
Synopsys’ Fusion Design Platform, is
a comprehensive and highly scalable
physical verification tool suite including
DRC, LVS, programmable electrical rule
checks (PERC), dummy metal fill and
design-for-manufacturabilty (DFM)
enhancement capabilities.
IC Validator is architected for
high performance and scalability
that maximises utilisation of
mainstream hardware, using smart
memory-aware load scheduling and
balancing technologies.
