FPS, which had purchased the assets of Celerity Computing in San Diego (well, La Jolla on Towne Centre Drive) , which was where much of the Sun large-systems development would occur.

Celerity had built RISC superminis out of NCR32K chips, running BSD 4.2, then got bought by FPS, then by Cray, then Sun. The Towne Centre Drive property is now Takeda Pharmaceuticals, IIRC.
