Unisys Corporation — 00:00:3D (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Unisys is registered to MAC prefix
00:00:3Din the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:00:3D, that block was registered by Unisys — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Single confirmed OUI (00:00:3D) but strong independent company substance (large, publicly traded, long corporate history) — not a shell registration. Device-type and additional-OUI-family claims are honestly tagged Unknown rather than inferred.
About this vendor.
Unisys Corporation holds the MA-L block 00:00:3D, registered under the bare organization name "UNISYS" with a San Jose, CA address. Unisys is a substantive, publicly traded company (NYSE: UIS), formed in 1986 from the merger of Sperry Corporation and Burroughs Corporation — two of the oldest names in computing, tracing lineage back to ENIAC and UNIVAC. Today Unisys operates as an enterprise IT and services vendor, with product lines including ClearPath Forward mainframe/cloud platforms, Stealth cybersecurity, and digital workplace services, which distinguishes this registration from a bare single-OUI shell. The cached registry snapshot also shows two other UNISYS-branded MA-L blocks — 08:00:0B under "UNISYS CORPORATION" at a Blue Bell, PA address, and 00:60:A2 under "NIHON UNISYS LIMITED CO." in Japan — which are distinct legal-entity registrations and are treated here as related but separate entries rather than folded into this vendor page. Device-type corroboration for 00:00:3D specifically (i.e., which historic Unisys hardware line shipped with this exact prefix) could not be confirmed from available web sources; the low, early-range prefix value is consistent with an early Ethernet-era assignment but no specific date or product could be verified without speculation.

- 00:3D specifically: Unknown — no network capture, vendor documentation, or discussion ties this exact prefix to a named Unisys product; general historical evidence only that Unisys made networking hardware (e.g. an EISA Ethernet Controller card)[Unknown] — https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/46117/Unisys-EISA-Ethernet-Controller/
- Security context
- no CVEs, advisories, or notable security research specific to this OUI/vendor found [Unknown] — (no source; absence noted honestly)
- Already in oui-master
- false [Confirmed] — this site's own enrichment records
- Ambiguity note
- three distinct UNISYS-branded MA-L registrations exist; this entry (vendor-unisys) covers only 00:00:3D, the bare-name "UNISYS" registration, as the closest slug match. 08:00:0B and 00:60:A2 would conventionally get their own distinct vendor slugs if enriched separately[Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry
