SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 10, 2006—
Tharas Systems, Inc., a leading provider of
high-performance, hardware-assisted verification solutions, announced
today that it has established K.K. Nihon Tharas, a wholly owned
subsidiary based in Tokyo, Japan. K.K. Nihon Tharas will provide the
sales and applications support function to customers in Japan who
design complex integrated circuits and electronic systems.
Tharas Systems' presence in Japan is in response to a growing
demand for its design verification solution in that market. The
subsidiary office is located at 1-1-26 Irifune, Chuo-ku Tokyo Japan
104-0042. The Japanese subsidiary under the skilled leadership of Mr.
Masashi "Mac" Sano as its president has swiftly established its
capability by securing customer orders for Tharas' latest generation
Hammer SX based solution.
"I am pleased that Mr. Sano with his extensive knowledge and
experience of the market is spearheading our team in Japan. The Nihon
Tharas team has made remarkable progress in a very short time," noted
Rahm Shastry, president & CEO of Tharas Systems.
Mr. Sano brings a wealth of experience in engineering, marketing
and management positions in semiconductor, computer, and EDA
industries. Prior to heading Nihon Tharas he was a co-founder,
Director and Senior Executive Vice President of RealVision, Inc., a
Japanese 3D graphics chip company where he held worldwide
responsibility for its marketing and sales. Mr. Sano was also the
President of Viewlogic Systems, Japan K.K., a fully-owned subsidiary
of the U.S. parent company which was later acquired by Synopsys in
1998.
"Tharas technology with its ease of use offers a compelling
price/performance solution for our customers. We have assembled a
talented team of professionals at Nihon Tharas to serve their needs,"
said Mr. Sano, president of K.K. Nihon Tharas. "I am convinced that
processor-based Hammer SX and Hammer MX hardware accelerators will
play a pivotal role in providing an acceleration solution in Japan."
About Tharas Systems
Tharas Systems develops and markets design verification solutions
that lead to a significant shortening of the overall verification
cycle of complex integrated circuits and electronic systems design.
The pay-off is a demonstrable reduction in time-to-market due to
enhanced verification productivity. The recently introduced Hammer SX
and Hammer MX products incorporate a patented, multi-core,
custom-processor hardware assisted verification engine developed by
Tharas that works in conjunction with popular Verilog and VHDL-based
software simulators from Synopsys (NASDAQ:SNPS), Cadence Design
(NYSE:CDN), and Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ:MENT). The Hammer solution
delivers fast compile and accelerated performance without sacrificing
ease-of-use and debugging capabilities. Customer installations span
the computers, communications, networking, graphics and the video
industries.
Founded in 1998, Tharas is privately held with corporate
headquarters located in Santa Clara, California, and regional sales
and support offices in North America and Japan. Tharas products are
distributed through channel partners in Europe, India and Korea. For
