Using Spillbox in Semiconductor and EDA Industries
Semiconductor chip companies often operate on-premises data centers across various locations, but these facilities typically function in isolation. This siloed approach prevents them from leveraging compute and storage resources from other data centers or the cloud. The primary…

Mitigating Challenges of Cloud “Bursting”
Despite the stellar rise of modern Cloud computing since the early 2000’s, there are still applications and entire industry segments that primarily rely on traditional On-Premise/Private Datacenter computing. This paper demonstrates how Spillbox can address some of the challenges associated with using the Cloud for semiconductor designs.
The paper highlights three main benefits:
- Improved performance when running backend physical design tools.
- Ease of migration and consistency of data between on-prem and Cloud.
- Reduced storage on the Cloud when using Spillbox, as it copies only what is needed.
Read the entire paper to see how Spillbox mitigates cloud complexities by reducing 9-12 months of DevOps Cloud migration to days.

Overview
On-premise enterprise data centers house petabytes of data, thousands of applications, and numerous users, creating a complex environment for extracting project-related data. This complexity causes significant delays for engineering teams attempting to access on-premise data to leverage cloud compute resources.
One of Spillbox’s key strengths is identifying and making essential on-premise data readily available in the cloud for successful job execution. The system eliminates the need to pre-relocate on-premise data by enabling…
