On joining Sun, he led Project Indiana, which he described as " taking the lesson that Linux has brought to the operating system and providing that for Solaris ", making a full OpenSolaris distribution with GNOME and userland tools from GNU plus a network-based package management system.

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.

Three months later, it sold Cray's Business Systems Division, responsible for the CS6400 SPARC / Solaris server, to Sun Microsystems for an undisclosed amount ( widely believed to be $ 50 million ).

Commercial Unix vendors, such as Sun, HP, DEC, and IBM each received copies of the vi source, and their operating systems, Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX, today continue to maintain versions of vi directly descended from the 3. 7 release, but with added features, such as adjustable key mappings, encryption, and wide character support.

In its literature and product version names, Microsoft and Sun refer to AMD64 / Intel 64 collectively as x64 in the Windows and Solaris operating systems respectively.

It was inspired by two Sun Microsystems ' products, the Wabi for the Solaris operating system, and the Public Windows Initiative ( an attempt to get the Windows API fully reimplemented in the public domain as an ISO standard, but rejected by the entity due to pressure from Microsoft in 1996 ).

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.

Although the first commercial sales were for VAX / VMS, from the mid-1980s the main Poplog development work was done on Sun SPARC computers running Solaris, although several different versions were sold, including versions for HP-UX and a 64-bit version of Poplog for DEC Alpha running Digital UNIX.

Platform support was Windows ( 2000, XP, and Vista ) and Sun Solaris ( 8, 9, and 10 ).

Platform support for Sun Solaris and Windows 2000 was dropped, leaving Windows XP and Windows Vista as the sole remaining platforms.

* May 8: The Sadmind worm spreads by exploiting holes in both Sun Solaris and Microsoft IIS.

Sun introduced NIS + as part of Solaris 2 in 1992, with the intention for it to eventually supersede NIS.

* Sun Java System Web Proxy Server is a caching proxy server running on Solaris, Linux and Windows servers that supports HTTPS, NSAPI I / O filters, dynamic reconfiguration, SOCKSv5 and reverse proxy.

As of Solaris 7, Sun Microsystems included UFS Logging, which brought filesystem journaling to UFS.

Sun began by offering the Motif developer toolkit and mwm window manager as a standalone product for use with Sun's Solaris Operating System until CDE was released in 1995.

on a stand-alone general purpose computer ( the system was ported to many computers but primarily runs on the Sun Microsystems Solaris ( operating system ) environment ).

Windows Server, Linux, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, AS400 ( Obsolete ), OS390 ( Obsolete )

Ephemeris time was defined in principle by the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun, ( but its practical implementation was usually achieved in another way, see below ).

The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were developed by Sun from 1995.

Sun Microsystems released the first public implementation as Java 1. 0 in 1995.

At the SVG Open 2005 conference, Sun demonstrated a mobile implementation of SVG Tiny 1. 1 for the Connected Limited Device Configuration ( CLDC ) platform.

Catspaw, Inc. at http :// www. snobol4. com /, provides a commercial implementation of the SNOBOL4 language for many different computer platforms, including DOS, Macintosh, Sun, RS / 6000, and others.

In 2007, Sun released an updated specification, UltraSPARC Architecture 2007, to which the UltraSPARC T2 implementation complied.

The architecture has provided continuous application binary compatibility from the first SPARC V7 implementation in 1987 into the Sun UltraSPARC Architecture implementations.

NeXT's implementation was called OPENSTEP for Mach and its first release ( 4. 0 ) superseded Nextstep 3. 3 on NeXT, Sun and Intel IA-32 systems.

// vs. an implementation from Sun or other vendors.

Sun provides a reference implementation of the specification, but has tended not to provide free binary implementations of its Java ME runtime environment for mobile devices, rather relying on third parties to provide their own.

Sun provides a reference implementation of these configurations and profiles for MIDP and CDC.

Sun provides no J2ME JRE for the Microsoft Windows Mobile ( Pocket PC ) based devices, despite an open-letter campaign to Sun to release a rumored internal implementation of PersonalJava known by the code name " Captain America ".

In 2007, Sun Microsystems open-sourced their client-side WebNFS implementation.

This implementation was used by Sun Microsystems for its high-end clusters, Thales Group and several others including volume applications for message passing within HPC clustering and medical imaging.

Tomcat 5. x uses Jasper 2, which is an implementation of the Sun Microsystems's JavaServer Pages 2. 0 specification.

Tomcat started off as a servlet reference implementation by James Duncan Davidson, a software architect at Sun Microsystems.

Sun announced its plans to immediately offer Motif and start retiring OpenWindows, by then the predominant implementation of the OPEN LOOK look and feel.

In addition to specifications of the Java programming language, Steele's work at Sun Microsystems has included research in parallel algorithms, implementation strategies, and architectural and software support.

* Network Information Service: ( NIS ), originally named Yellow Pages ( YP ), was Sun Microsystems ' implementation of a directory service for Unix network environments.

* OpenDS: An open source directory service implementation from scratch in Java, backed by Sun Microsystems

* OpenLDAP Derived from the original University of Michigan reference LDAP implementation ( as are the Netscape / Red Hat / Fedora / Sun JSDS servers ) but significantly evolved.

Other file systems could be plugged into it also: there was an implementation of the MS-DOS FAT file system developed at Sun that plugged into the SunOS VFS, although it wasn't shipped as a product until SunOS 4. 1.

In 1985-7, a team from Fuji Xerox developed a C implementation of the microcoded bytecode interpreter, and, together with Xerox AI Systems ( XAIS ) in Sunnyvale, California, completed the port of the environment and emulator to the Sun Microsystems SPARC 4 architecture.
