Cadence Launches EU-Sovereign AI Data Center in Munich

Cadence Design Systems launched a sovereign AI data center in Munich with NVIDIA, giving European customers a cloud-based environment to design and simulate semiconductors, systems and AI infrastructure while keeping data within EU jurisdiction. The facility combines Cadence OnCloud, NVIDIA Vera and Grace systems, the Blackwell-powered Millennium M2000 supercomputer and Cadence’s Reality Digital Twin platform, which can model data-center conditions such as power, cooling and airflow before deployment. Cadence says the facility holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and SOC 2 Type II certifications; companies including Vertiv, HPE and Nation Data Center are using its digital-twin tools for AI data-center projects. The launch expands Cadence’s European cloud presence and reflects growing demand for secure, locally governed infrastructure for advanced design workloads.
