Xilinx Selects Object Design's ObjectStore For Mission Critical, Next- Generation Digital Design Software
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- -- -- Object Design, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODIS - news), the leading object database company, today announced that Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX - news), the leading innovator of complete programmable logic solutions, has selected the Object Design(R) ObjectStore(R) database management system to support its next-generation implementation tools within the Xilinx Alliance Series and Foundation Series software. ObjectStore is a flexible, high-performance solution for storing and managing sophisticated digital designs used in programmable logic applications.
''Xilinx has established a clear leadership position which is now extended by Object Design's leadership products,'' said Rich Sevcik, senior vice president of software at Xilinx. ''Xilinx software is used by more digital designers than any other competitor's tools, and outsold its nearest competitor by more than 100% last quarter.''
The Xilinx Alliance Series software and Foundation Series software offer a powerful spectrum of digital design tools and methodologies for Xilinx programmable devices (FPGAs and CPLD). The ObjectStore database will play a critical role in the product families' implementation tools because it will centrally store designs and manage them throughout the design process. Xilinx selected ObjectStore based on its reliability, high performance, ability to handle very complex electronic designs, and because it is an off-the-shelf database solution for increased productivity and fast time to market.
Xilinx also selected the ObjectStore database because of its unique Cache- Forward(TM) distributed data-caching architecture that delivers high performance in multitier environments.
Thanks to ObjectStore's high performance, the Xilinx next-generation implementation tools will enable users to design programmable logic devices faster than ever before.
''After a thorough evaluation, we determined that only ObjectStore would enable us to meet our business goals, including increased productivity and time to market, without compromising performance,'' said David Bennett, vice president of software engineering at Xilinx. ''ObjectStore eliminates the need to maintain a lot of code for the current file-based system, and our enhanced implementation tools will perform even faster than they do now. This will benefit our customers, who demand fast compile times in their programmable logic design process.''
''We are very pleased that Xilinx, a leader in the programmable logic industry, has selected ObjectStore for its next-generation implementation tools,'' said Larry Alston, vice president of
marketing at Object Design. ''Thanks to ObjectStore's unique Cache-Forward architecture, developers building component-based systems can meet their performance and scalability
requirements while gaining all the other benefits of using a database.''
