Sun Microsystems, Inc.Regina Gameos, Federal Program Manager, Education Services As a computer technology innovator, Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. pioneered one of the first workstation concepts in the early 1980s. This technology included TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. , known today as an Internet protocol suite The Internet protocol suite is the set of communications protocols that implement the protocol stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run. It has also been referred to as the TCP/IP protocol suite, which is named after two of the most important protocols in it: . Sun also engineered one of the first network-filesharing systems, which helped bring network computing Storing and/or running applications in servers in a network. See cloud computing and network computer. to the desktop PC. The company, which started in 1982, later incorporated with only four employees. Today, Sun has offices in over 170 countries and has grown into a $15.7 billion, globally oriented, network computing company. Recently, Sun announced the marketing of a new compatible enterprise-level, data disaster protection, remote, recovery system, that is designed to protect data-bases against disruptions caused by natural disasters, human error, software bugs A problem that causes a program to produce invalid output or to crash (lock up). The problem is either insufficient logic or erroneous logic. For example, a program can crash if there are not enough validity checks performed on the input or on the calculations themselves, and the computer and power failures. By linking redundant data storage, across geographically separate sites, this new protection system is intended not only to protect important data, but also to reduce recovery time following a disaster. |
