  php-deluxe.net - description Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystems (Sun Microsystems, Inc.) is a computer, computer component designer, and Software manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, in Silicon Valley.
Sun has had a difficult time keeping up with its competitors processors clock speed and computing power, but its customer base has been fairly loyal due to the popularity, and legendary stability, of its SunOS (and later Solaris Operating Environment) versions of Unix.
In the late-1990s, as Sun s workstations were lagging in performance when compared to that of their competitors and especially to Wintel Personal Computers, the company successfully transformed itself to a vendor of large-scale Symmetric multiprocessing servers.

 Sun Grid Engine - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Sun Grid Engine (SGE), earlier known as Sun GridEngine is an open source batch-queuing system, supported by Sun Microsystems, that manages and schedules the allocation of distributed resources such as processors, memory, disk space, and software licenses.
Software like SGE is typically used on a compute farm or computer cluster and is responsible for accepting, scheduling, dispatching and managing the remote execution of large numbers of standalone, parallel or interactive user jobs.
SGE is the foundation of the Sun Grid grid computing system, made available over the Internet in the United States in 2006.

Although it was a fine piece of software, Sun never did much with it, even though for a while it was substantially superior to Platform's LSF, and could have made a modestly successful product.
Sun's timing was poor, as the bottom fell out of the market for their hardware around the time they acquired Gridware (in 2000), and market acceptance of GridEngine was probably not helped by its utter awfulness as a piece of software.
Sun ended up open-sourcing GridEngine; it has seen some modest success in this capacity, primarily since its competition is even worse.

 GRIDtoday: GRIDXPERT OFFERS GRID "PEOPLE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT"
Grid Agents are deployed on all the computers in the Grid; for example, on top of OpenPBS, Sun GridEngine, Platform LSF or a PC scheduler.
Sun's hope is that independent software vendors (ISVs) will support DRMAA in their applications; users should then be able to run those applications against any scheduler that supports DRMAA.
Sun's claim is that grid users lack an easy way to integrate their purchased applications with schedulers, and then support them on every new operating system platform.
