CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 1998--IKOS Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq:IKOS.O), a leading provider of design verification
solutions, today announced that Xylan Corp. (Nasdaq:XYLN.O) has signed a
purchase agreement for IKOS' design verification solutions.
Xylan selected IKOS' VirtuaLogic-8 emulator as the preferred
solution for the verification of its next-generation switch/router
products.
"Xylan is committed to offering its customers the most advanced
and integrated switching products available," said Chris Hoogenboom,
director of ASIC engineering at Xylan. "Accordingly we need to keep
developing best-in-class products in a fast turn-around time. We
selected IKOS because its VirtuaLogic emulator is a top-quality,
economical product that can easily accommodate our upcoming 2-million
gate design."
Hoogenboom continued, "IKOS' VirtuaLogic has many key features
that make it a winning solution for Xylan. It is the only emulator
that provides enough memory capacity to handle our complex design, and
it can also handle a huge number of probes, which doesn't cause the
compiler to fail.
"In addition, VirtuaLogic doesn't require a target interface
module and has an easy-to-use cabling system, so we can easily link
the emulator straight to our board. Due to these features, plus the
fact that IKOS could locate a timing problem that could not be
identified with other emulation products, we selected VirtuaLogic as
our emulator of choice for the verification of our next-generation
switch/router products."
Larry Melling, vice president of business development and
strategic marketing at IKOS noted, "We are very excited to develop
this relationship with Xylan's exceptional technical team. Their
extensive background in the use of various design verification
solutions represents further testament that IKOS' top-quality
emulation products meet the requirements of today's most sophisticated
users."
