Dubbed OSF / 1, the aim was to compete with System V Release 4 from AT & T and Sun Microsystems, and it has been argued that a primary goal was for the operating system to be free of AT & T intellectual property.

In the meantime, AT & T and Sun Microsystems completed the merge of Xenix, BSD, SunOS and System V into System V Release 4.

Examples include IBM's System Object Model ( SOM / DSOM ), Sun Microsystems ' Distributed Objects Everywhere ( DOE ), NeXT's Portable Distributed Objects ( PDO ), Digital's ObjectBroker, Microsoft's Component Object Model ( COM / DCOM ), and any number of CORBA-based systems.

* External RAID controllers designed by LSI Corporation and used in IBM System Storage's DS3000 and DS4000 ( formerly FAStT ) plus some storage systems from Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems / StorageTek, Teradata, Dell, Fujitsu, Sepaton, BlueArc and several other companies worldwide

Between 1991 and 1995 he worked at Unix System Labs and from 1996 to 1998 with IP-level encryption at Sun Microsystems.

* Sun Java System Directory Server: Sun Microsystems ' current directory service offering

At around the time when Sun Microsystems announced WebNFS, Microsoft launched an initiative in 1996 to rename SMB to Common Internet File System ( CIFS ), and added more features, including support for symbolic links, hard links, larger file sizes, and an initial attempt at supporting direct connections over TCP port 445 without requiring NetBIOS as a transport ( a largely experimental effort that required further refinement ).

OpenSolaris Desktop, formerly Java Desktop System ( JDS ), is a desktop environment now developed by Oracle Corporation ( after its acquisition of Sun Microsystems ) available for Solaris, and formerly Linux.

The Andrew File System heavily influenced Version 4 of Sun Microsystems ' popular Network File System ( NFS ).

Initially the system was prototyped on Sun Microsystems machines, and then to IBM 6150 RT series computers running a special IBM Academic Operating System.

The tool appears in IBM's AIX version of Unix and the Solaris Operating System from Sun Microsystems.

In September 2007 NetApp started proceedings against Sun Microsystems, claiming that the ZFS File System developed by Sun infringed its patents.

Novell accused SCO of licensing Unix System V Release 4 to Microsoft and Sun Microsystems without then sending Novell the one hundred percent of the license fees as required by the APA.

All major software companies, such as Microsoft, Novell and Sun Microsystems, have their own software testing departments with the specific goal of just testing.

Itanium competed at the low-end ( primarily 4-CPU and smaller systems ) with servers based on x86 processors, and at the high end with IBM's POWER architecture and Sun Microsystems ' SPARC architecture.

" Following Oracle Corporation's acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2009 – 2010, Oracle has described itself as the " steward of Java technology with a relentless commitment to fostering a community of participation and transparency ".

They also overpriced ; believing they were competing with the KL10 and VAX 8600 and not startups such as Sun Microsystems building workstations with comparable power at a fraction of the price.

In the meantime, the Berkeley RISC effort had become so well known that it eventually became the name for the entire concept and in 1987 Sun Microsystems began shipping systems with the SPARC processor, directly based on the Berkeley RISC-II system.

The following month, Sun Microsystems, Inc. was merged with Oracle USA, Inc. to become Oracle America, Inc.

In the early 1990s, Jakob Nielsen, at that time a researcher at Sun Microsystems, popularized the concept of using numerous small usability tests — typically with only five test subjects each — at various stages of the development process.

In response, more companies are opening the source code to their products, with a notable example being Sun Microsystems and their creation of the OpenOffice. org and OpenSolaris projects, based on their formerly closed-source StarOffice and Solaris software products.

About the time of the 3. 2 release, NeXT teamed up with Sun Microsystems to develop OpenStep, a cross-platform object-oriented API standard derived from Nextstep.

Interoperability: playing the two role network game, when one of the player clients ( top left ) runs under Sun Microsystems and another under GNU Classpath with JamVM.

The complete Servlet specification was created by Sun Microsystems, with version 1. 0 finalized in June 1997.

Servers use those processors and other readily available non-x86 processor choices, including the Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC, Fujitsu SPARC64 III and later, SGI MIPS, Intel Itanium, Hewlett Packard PA-RISC, Hewlett-Packard ( merged with Compaq which acquired first Digital Equipment Corporation ) DEC Alpha, IBM POWER and Apple Computer PowerPC ( specifically G4 and G5 series, as well as earlier PowerPC 604 and 604e series ) processors.

While several vendors had already added support for NFS Version 2 with TCP as a transport, Sun Microsystems added support for TCP as a transport for NFS at the same time it added support for Version 3.

Version 4 became the first version developed with the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) after Sun Microsystems handed over the development of the NFS protocols.

Between 1984 and 2010, Gosling was with Sun Microsystems.

There was an attempt to popularize the system with the 88open group, similar to what Sun Microsystems was attempting with their SPARC design.

The OPEN LOOK version of the FrameMaker desktop publishing program, developed by Frame Technology Corp with funding mainly from Sun Microsystems and NSA, was one of the few commercial products that ran on NeWS.

In the early 1980s, with the advent of 32-bit microprocessors such as the Motorola 68000, a number of new participants in this field appeared, including Apollo Computer and Sun Microsystems, who created Unix-based workstations based on this processor.

Between November 2006 and May 2007, Sun Microsystems made available most of their Java technologies under the GNU General Public License, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, thus making almost all of Sun's Java also free software.
