VersIC
is a new approach to the management of IC Design data. It provides a comprehensive,
unified and reliable Design Data Management (DDM) experience in the Cadence design environment.
VersIC is the highest performance design data management solution available for the
Cadence design environment. Its open architecture allows it to benefit from the
latest generation SCM tools (Subversion and Perforce) used by 2.5million software
developers worldwide, making VersIC the most robust and bug free solution available today.

The highest performance Cadence Design Data Management solution available
VersIC operations are typically up to 8-10X faster than tools like Design Sync and Cliosoft which
depend on NFS mounts and "link caches". VersIC communicates with the central repository via
streaming TCP/IP (Perforce)
and
stateful TCP/IP (Subversion).
In todays modern networks NFS is recognized as a notorious bottleneck and is a bad choice for
managing large datasets.
The most scalable, multi-site DM solution
VersIC uses 'slave' repositories at the remote site to minimize WAN latency. These remote
repositories automatically stay in sync with the master server and serve data locally to
remote users.
The most robust DM Solution available
2.5 Million users can't be wrong! The established user base for Subversion and Perforce is
many times larger than the Custom-IC user community and ensures that the data-management
databases see more bug-fixes, performance improvements and generally a greater pace of development.
Open data storage using industry-standard SCM tools
Using industry-standard SCM tools as the backend database means that your data is never locked in to a
proprietary system. It also means that the numerous
Perforce/Subversion companion tools
are available for managing your IP and release methodologies.
Industry leading Visual Change Manager (VCMTM)
VersIC incorporates an industry leading Visual Change Manager (VCM) toolkit that will show designers
visually how layouts/schematics have changed between versions. These are done intelligently
and can differentiate between ECO's and functional changes.
