Exclusive Agreement with One of Japan's Leading Distributors
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- DAFCA Incorporated, the leading
vendor of tools for on-chip, at-speed silicon validation, announced today that
they have chosen Tokyo-based CYBERNET Systems Co. Ltd. as their exclusive
distributor in Japan. DAFCA joins the likes of The MathWorks, AWR, and
BlueSpec, on the CYBERNET roster.
"We are delighted to partner with CYBERNET," explained Dr. Peter L. Levin,
CEO of DAFCA. "Their excellent reputation, deep customer relationships, and
world-class service are a perfect match to our business culture. CYBERNET's
on-site support coupled with DAFCA's hardware-software validation tools will
deliver excellent value to our customers. Together, we help program managers
avoid the dreaded 'tragedy in the lab.'"
"We were very impressed by DAFCA's traction in Tier 1 accounts," said
Kuniaki Tanaka, president of CYBERNET. "This is not something we see every day
with young companies. The high quality of their product is validated by
public and private endorsements of people we respect. Our alliance with DAFCA
will solidly position CYBERNET to solve our customers' critical implementation
problems."
DAFCA offers a comprehensive framework for ASIC/SoC co-validation of
hardware and software. The ClearBlue(TM) product suite creates a multi-level

functions, and protocol validation. ClearBlue is in production today at the
world's largest semiconductor companies, and the silicon testbench methodology
has been shown to dramatically improve hardware validation and support
hardware-software integration.
