High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sun Blade series was a computer workstation line developed and sold by Sun Microsystems from 2000 to 2006. The Sun Blade architecture was based on the UltraSPARC microprocessor family. The range replaced the earlier Sun Ultra workstation series. The Sun Blade series was supplanted by the Sun Java Workstation line in 2004. This product line, despite its name, was not a blade server system. In 2006, Sun did introduce an unrelated blade server product line which reused the Sun Blade name.
