Finisar Company Description
Finisar helps put the "work" in network with equipment that enables high-speed data communications over LANs or metro-area and storage-area networks (MANs/SANs). Finisar's optical components and subsystems (about 90% of sales) include data links (transmitters, receivers, and transceivers) and link extenders. The company's customers include EMC and Cisco (nearly 21% of sales). Finisar also works with such IT vendors as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and NEC Corporation of America. The company gets more than two-thirds of its sales from customers outside the US. In 2008 Finisar merged with rival Optium in a stock-swap deal valued at about $212 million.
