Thanks in part to the delay in the development of more modern processors from <a href="/wiki/Motorola" title="Motorola">Motorola</a>, the SPARCstation series was very successful across the entire industry. The last model bearing the SPARCstation name was the SPARCstation 4. The workstation series was replaced by the <a href="/wiki/Sun_Ultra_series" class="mw-redirect" title="Sun Ultra series">Sun Ultra series</a> in 1995; the next Sun server generation was the <a href="/wiki/Sun_Enterprise" title="Sun Enterprise">Sun Enterprise</a> line introduced in 1996. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Models">Models</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SPARCstation&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Models"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Desktop and deskside SPARCstations and SPARCservers of the same model number were essentially identical systems, the only difference being that systems designated as servers were usually "headless" (that is, configured without a <a href="/wiki/Graphics_card" title="Graphics card">graphics card</a> and monitor), and were sold with a "server" rather than a "desktop" OS license.
