Cypress Chooses RackSpace

SAN ANTONIO -- Rackspace Managed Hosting, a leading global provider of managed hosting services, today announced that they had entered into an agreement to host the website infrastructure of Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY). Cypress has recently redesigned www.cypress.com to provide customers with faster access to product information and software downloads.

The redesigned website puts a more prominent focus on Cypress’s PSoC® mixed-signal arrays and other programmable products, mirroring the company’s transformation into a provider of programmable solutions. The new Cypress.com includes dynamic drop-down menus that enable users, without clicking, to navigate two- and three-levels for faster access to information on software, technical documentation, samples, kits, training, etc. The site has been designed to improve usability by eliminating browser scrolling on the home page and by having personalized search terms remembered automatically in the search tool. In addition, customers are now able to log in to their customized “MyCypress” extranet and view their shopping cart for the online store without having to leave their current location on the site.

“There is a large and growing global demand for Cypress technical information and software downloads, and the driving distribution platform is our website,” said Nick Wemyss, director of web marketing and development at Cypress. “As we look to use cypress.com for more e-commerce applications, uptime is becoming increasingly more important. Rackspace offers a solid infrastructure and flexibility that will solidify our online presence and extend our ability to deliver solutions to our growing customer base.”
