About Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystems is a manufacturer of computer workstations, software, servers, other computer components, and is also known as the creator of the Javascript language. The company was first founded in 1982 for the purpose of selling low cost high performance desktop computers running the UNIX operating systems. Such components and software included SPARC-based systems, Sun Fire and Ultra Servers,
blade servers, x86-based systems, and more. The Java platform was developed at Sun by James Gosling in the early 1990s with the objective of allowing programs to function regardless of the device they were used on.
In 1999, Sun acquired the German software company Star Division and with it the office suite StarOffice, which Sun later released as OpenOffice.org. Later acquisitions into the future included Cobalt Networks in 2000, which was acquired for $2 billion. In 2007, Sun announced the Sun xVM virtualization and datacenter automation product suite for commodity hardware. Sun also acquired VirtualBox in 2008. Others included the January 2009 acquisition of Q-layer, a software company with cloud computing solutions, as well as the 2007 acquisition of SavaJe, the SavaJe OS, a Java OS for mobile phones. In 2009, Sun Microsystems was sold to Oracle Corporation for 5.6 billion.
