The Network is the Computer: Unraveling the Legacy of Sun Microsystems
28 May 2025
Sun Microsystems was a pioneering tech company that played a significant role in shaping the digital world. Founded in 1982 by Andy Bechtolsheim, Vinod Khosla, Scott McNealy, and Bill Joy, Sun was known for its innovative workstations, servers, and software, including the influential Java programming language. The company's "open systems" approach and slogan "The Network is the Computer" predicted the cloud and internet of things. Despite achieving significant success, Sun faced challenges and missteps, including the dot-com bust, cheaper hardware, and strategic errors. Oracle acquired Sun in 2009, marking the end of an era. However, Sun's legacy lives on through Java, Solaris, and the talent it incubated, making it a crucial part of tech history.
