Case Study: Cypress Semiconductor Corporation achieves high uptime and prevents multimillion-dollar manufacturing errors with Actian Ingres Database

Actian Helps Cypress Semiconductor Maintain Blue-Chip Manufacturing Quality

Cypress Semiconductor, a leading producer of high‑performance integrated circuits, needed a database solution that could sustain billion‑dollar wafer fabrication plants where tiny errors or any downtime can cost millions. The company required absolute reliability, scale to support tens of thousands of hourly operations, and rapid recovery to prevent production losses and maintain precision.

Cypress chose Actian Ingres Database running on 12 Sun Solaris production servers with Ingres Premium Service for a single point of contact and fast response. The solution delivers high uptime, transaction journaling and point‑in‑time recovery, and rapid root‑cause analysis (over 90% success), preventing costly manufacturing errors and earning Cypress’ long‑term renewal and satisfaction.
