Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms: Sun workstations
Sun workstations
high-performance desktop computers manufactured by Sun Microsystems of Mountain View, California. Most are marketed as single-user systems although each can support more than one user. All run Solaris (SunOS), a proprietary version of UNIX based on System V and incorporating some BSD features. Current Sun workstations are descendants of the Sun-4, which introduced the SPARC CPU; earlier products used Motorola 68000 and Intel 386 processors.
