About Sun Microsystems Laboratories
About Sun Microsystems Laboratories
Established in 1990, Sun Microsystems Laboratories is the applied
research and advanced development arm of
Sun Microsystems, Inc.,
with locations in California and Massachusetts. Sun Labs
is one of the ways Sun invests in the future -- the Labs is responsible
for many of the technology advancements and inventions that have
made Sun a technology powerhouse.
Researchers at Sun Labs are working on projects that are significant
to the evolution of technology and to our society's future -- asynchronous
and high-speed circuits, optical interconnects, 3rd-generation web
technologies, sensors, network scaling and Java[tm]
technologies, to name a few.
Although many companies have R&D groups, Sun Labs can claim one of
the highest rates of technology transfer, i.e., the incorporation of
Labs' technology into future products. However, the Labs also pursues
high-risk projects, those with the most dramatic potential, knowing
that some will not work out, while a few will have significant payoff.
After all, you only need a few dramatic successes to shake up the world.
Sun Labs' investigations into novel technologies and methodologies will
continue to set Sun apart from competitors and help to define the future.
