Compaq and Silicon Graphics decided to abandon further development of the Alpha and MIPS architectures respectively in favor of migrating to IA-64.

During the same period, Unix computer workstations from vendors such as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, Intergraph, NeXT and Apollo were using TCP / IP based networking.

Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) refocused its business from desktop graphics workstations to the high-performance computing market in the early 1990s.

At its introduction, the 68000 was first used in high-priced systems, including multiuser microcomputers like the WICAT 150, early Alpha Microsystems computers, Sage II / IV, Tandy TRS-80 Model 16, and Fortune 32: 16 ; single-user workstations such as Hewlett-Packard's HP 9000 Series 200 systems, the first Apollo / Domain systems, Sun Microsystems ' Sun-1, and the Corvus Concept ; and graphics terminals like Digital Equipment Corporation's VAXstation 100 and Silicon Graphics ' IRIS 1000 and 1200.

In 1988, MIPS Computer Systems designs were noticed by Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) and the company adopted the MIPS architecture for its computers.

After Andreessen graduated in 1993, he moved to California and there met Jim Clark, the recently departed founder of Silicon Graphics.

OpenGL was developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1992 and is widely used in CAD, virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, flight simulation, and video games.

By the early 1990s, Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) was a leader in 3D graphics for workstations.

On April 1, 2009, SGI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced that it would sell substantially all of its assets to Rackable Systems, a deal finalized on May 11, 2009, with Rackable assuming the name " Silicon Graphics International ".

The sale, ultimately for $ 42. 5 million, was finalized on May 11, 2009 ; at the same time, Rackable announced their adoption of " Silicon Graphics International " as their global name and brand.

Their commercial development came in work by Burroughs ( later Unisys ), Convex Computer ( later Hewlett-Packard ), Honeywell Information Systems Italy ( HISI ) ( later Groupe Bull ), Silicon Graphics ( later Silicon Graphics International ), Sequent Computer Systems ( later IBM ), Data General ( later EMC ) and Digital ( later Compaq, now HP ) during the 1990s.
