письмо от Mentor Support (10-го февраля):
Dear Zeland Customer,
On Monday, February 1, 2010, Mentor Graphics Corporation announced the acquisition of technology from Zeland Software, Inc. The decision was mutual, as Zeland and Mentor Graphics have been collaborating on various application fronts for quite some time.
Upon closing of the acquisition, Zeland s development, customer support, and marketing/sales team, including Zeland founder and CEO Dr. Jian-X Zheng, joined Mentor Graphics. All existing Zeland products and development roadmaps will remain intact.
For Zeland customers, the acquisition brings stability, additional support and engineering resources, and the means to take existing Zeland product lines to the next level over the coming years. Mentor customers will also benefit, as Zeland s full-wave 3D EM (electromagnetic) simulation and modeling technology will be available with Mentor s HyperLynx Signal Integrity and Power Integrity solutions.
We firmly believe that the combination of Mentor s technology leadership in signal and power integrity analysis and Zeland s full-wave 3D EM simulation technology is a perfect match. Furthermore, since many of you are already Mentor customers, the acquisition will benefit you through the development of next-generation EM technology for the Mentor products you already own.
As you know, 3D full-wave EM simulation is a must-have for any signal and power integrity solution. Mentor chose Zeland s EM simulation technology because it proved, beyond any doubt, to be the most accurate, highest capacity, and fastest EM technology available, making its integration into Mentor products a natural choice.
Mentor s interest in Zeland s technology goes well beyond SI/PI applications. We want to assure you that we intend to continue investing in Zeland s existing products and businesses aimed at MMIC, antenna, RFID, RFIC, HTS, and microwave applications. Mentor s goal is to be the market leader for these applications as well.
If you d like to learn more about how Zeland technologies and HyperLynx will work together, attend our free webcast on Wednesday, March 10. Entitled, Enhancing Multi-Gbps Simulations with the New HyperLynx 3D Full-wave Solver, this webcast will examine the use of full-wave, three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling methodologies to enhance simulation accuracy for multi-gigabit-per-second systems.
