=============================================================================== 


With information at the heart of all networks, the greatest challenge 
facing organizations is managing data efficiently and securely.  As your 
data repository grows, so does your risk.
Consider the current global information landscape:-

   * Every second of every day, the world creates 390 gigabytes of new 
data.
   * This new data is growing at an average rate of 47% per year.
   * This new data is added to the 30-billion gigabytes of stored 
digital data that already exists today.
   * About 80% of this data will need to be permanently archived.

Imagine having a single point of contact for your complete portfolio of 
data management solutions - a global powerhouse with a robust and 
uniquely relevant product offering. Imagine the strength of Sun 
Microsystems fortified by the power of Storage Tek.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't miss this opportunity to join Scott McNealy, Mark Canepa and other 
Sun executives as they present Sun's newest data management product line.

We look forward to seeing you at the launch broadcast!


Sincerely,
Elaine Hepler
