About Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California (part of Silicon Valley), on the former west campus of the Agnews Developmental Center.
Read MoreSun is known as the developer of innovative technologies such as the Java platform and NFS, and as a key promoter of open systems in general and UNIX in particular; it has recently emerged as one of the leading proponents and contributors of open source software. The first Sun workstations ran a Version 7 Unix System port by UniSoft on 68000 processor-based machines.
In February 1982 Bechtolsheim, fellow Stanford graduate students Vinod Khosla and Scott McNealy, plus Bill Joy (a primary developer of BSD), founded Sun Microsystems, with "Sun" derived from the initials of the Stanford project. The company's stock symbol SUNW originally signified Sun Workstations but now stands for Sun Worldwide.
Sun's logo, which features four interleaved copies of the word sun, was designed by professor Vaughan Pratt, also of Stanford University. The initial version of the logo had the sides oriented horizontally and vertically, but it was subsequently redesigned so as to appear to stand on one corner."
