Sun Microsystems, Inc. was a company that sold computers, computer components, computer software, and information technology services and that created the Java programming language, Solaris Unix and the Network File System (NFS). Sun significantly evolved several key computing technologies, among them Unix, RISC processors, thin client computing, and virtualized computing. Sun was founded on February 24, 1982. At its height, Sun headquarters were in Santa Clara, California (part of Silicon Valley), on the former west campus of the Agnews Developmental Center.
On January 27, 2010, Sun was acquired by Oracle Corporation for US $7.4 billion, based on an agreement signed on April 20, 2009. The following month, Sun Microsystems, Inc. was merged with Oracle USA, Inc. to become Oracle America, Inc.
Sun products included computer servers and workstations built on its own RISC-based SPARC processor architecture as well as on x86-based AMD's Opteron and Intel's Xeon processors; storage systems; and a suite of software products including the Solaris operating system, developer tools, Web infrastructure software, and identity management applications. Other technologies include the Java platform, MySQL, and NFS. Sun was a proponent of open systems in general and Unix in particular, and a major contributor to open source software. Sun's main manufacturing facilities were located in Hillsboro, Oregon, and Linlithgow, Scotland.

This is a tour of my Sun Ultra 5 UNIX Workstation from between 1998 and 2002 (Mine appears to have been manufactured in the year 2000). It has a 400MHz UltraSPARC IIi CPU with 512mb of RAM and an 8.6gb IDE hard drive and is running Solaris 8.
In this video I take a look at my Sun Microsystems SPARCserver 5 from 1994 which is essentially a SPARCstation 5 which shipped without a framebuffer card or floppy/optical drives. Specs: Sun MicroSPARC II @ 70MHz 64mb ECC RAM 2.1gb 7200rpm Seagate SCSI hard drive Running SunOS 4.1.4

An Overview of the Sun Microsystems Ultra 80 Workstation / Server Expert 3D LITE edition. This is a beefy workstation equipped with 4 Ultra Sparc II Processors running at 450MHz, 1gb of RAM, and a 3DLabs WildCat II video card. In this video I will open the computers up and tear them down, I will also boot one of them up into the error screen.

[Recorded Jan 11, 2006] Scott McNealy, Andy Bechtolsheim, Bill Joy and Vinod Khosla, with moderator John Gage share their personal stories of the early days at Sun. When Xerox PARC loaned the Stanford Engineering Department an entire Alto Ethernet network with a laser printer, then-graduate student Andy Bechtolsheim redesigned it into a prototype and attached it to Stanford Universitys computer network. Sun Microsystems grew out of this prototype, and the companys name came from the acronym for Stanford University Network (SUN). The company was incorporated in 1982 by three 26-year-old Stanford alumni: Bechtolsheim, Vinod Khosla and Scott McNealy. The trio soon attracted UC Berkeley UNIX guru, Bill Joy, who led software development for the new company. By its second birthday, Sun had...

Sun Microsystem released that operating system in approximately 2005. Bought by Oracle in 2009, now known as Oracle Solaris. Unfortunately, dont know a lot that operating system, so cannot show you commands nor advanced functionalities.
