About Microsystems

This company was founded by Scott McNealy in 1982. Andy Bechtolsheim, and Vinod Kholsa, soon joined McNealy as co-founders and founded Joy. They began with first creating the 68k-based systems with high-quality graphics. They grew during the dot-com bubble, but then endured quarters of losses and stocks failure, particularly in 2001. In the mid 2000s, Sun focused on processors optimized for multi-threading and multiprocessing, such as the UltraSPARC T1 processor, and collaborated with Fujitsu to use their processor chips in mid- and high-range servers. By 2005, Sun was reporting a net profit of $19 million, and received an investment of $700 million from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, but suffered another financial setback in 2007 to 2008, with falling sales and reduced company value.
