Sun Microsystems’ early success was as a manufacturer of high-performance computing platforms for scientific and engineering purposes. A key feature of most workstations—including Sun’s hardware—was support for networking.

Java ME is no exception; it was designed from the ground up as a platform that interacts with other computers on the network.
