Silicon Labs Designs Electronics at Scale

When long run times and issues scaling workloads caused frustration and potential for delays, Silicon Labs found the high-performance solution they needed from Pure Storage®.

Summary

Silicon Labs makes electronic chips that power remote control light bulbs, smart homes, and industrial automation. The electronic design automation (EDA) process used to create new chips generates millions of small files and directories for each project. Heavily metadata-oriented, EDA workloads create a data throughput challenge for legacy storage systems. Silicon Labs relies on Pure Storage FlashBlade® for high performance data storage for EDA and other workloads.
