Sun Solaris on Sparc. But some applications have been transferred to dual
intel processor machines running Linux already, and it is only a matter of
time until Solaris machine are abandonned totally, most likely in favor of
Linux, simply because it is cheaper to have several powerful intel than one
big powerful solaris. Charge is easier to modulate as well. The solaris
machine currently has some 45 cpu, to give you an idea of the computing
power needed.

Other than that, there are still a couple of HP unix and Sinix (Siemens'
unix), but those are definitely phasing out.

Happy new year.
