DAFCA Enters Japanese Market With CYBERNET Systems

Framingham, MA – June 5, 2008 – 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 view -- from signals to instructions -- of system-level transactions, mission 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.
