Here's a response I made to a similar enquiry:

Celerity Computing was one of the first companies to go after the
Unix market and made superminicomputers.  It was bought by
Floating Point Systems of Portland Oregon and their name was
changed to FPS Computing.  They make supercomputers running
very good Unix, capable of accomodating many users, and sitting
in a network as a high-powered compute-server, in a pretty wide price-range.
The Unix machines are based on a vector-processing architecture, but
are quite powerful without the vector option, nonetheless. 
(Not too unlike an ibm-3090,,, with native bsd-4.3 unix).

I work for FPS and am on-site at the Cornell Supercomputer Center.
     
You may contact

and ask for more information.  The sales people in charge of your area will be 
happy to send you more information, I am sure.

Of course, I can provide you with more info, as well, if you 
prefer.
