Sun Microsystems in Australia

When Sun Microsystems, Inc. sold its first computer system to Sydney University more than 20 years ago, it laid the foundation for what is today one of Australia's most successful information technology companies.

Sun Microsystems Australia shares in this success. In Australia, Sun ranks number 287 on Dunn and Bradstreet's Top 500 Australian companies (based on revenue - 2001 fiscal year) and supplies the technologies and services that power leading enterprises in government, telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, education and research, retail, health care, digital media and entertainment.
