Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, West Bay Semiconductor is focused on making the high-density optical networking chips for the growing optical networking systems market. One of West Bay SemiconductorÂ’s key objectives is addressing an important issue in its industry - that of cycle time. West Bay Semiconductor adopted Sun MicrosystemsÂ’ new generation networked electronic design automation (EDA) computing environment. West Bay engineers found the Sun Ray ultra-thin client delivered equivalent performance to their desktops, specifically their Ultra 60 workstation. Furthermore, the company received this performance without the expense and effort of maintaining a traditional desktop system.
