Exhibit 99.1

CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT

To: Dell 3Par Team

Welcome to Dell!

Soon you’ll be part of a global team that is nearly 100,000 strong and focused on delivering technology solutions that enable people everywhere to grow and thrive. This is Dell’s purpose, and it will be your purpose, too, when the acquisition we announced today closes.

3Par utility storage solutions will become an important component of our ability to better help customers reduce storage administration and infrastructure costs. These technologies will significantly enhance our storage portfolio and solutions strategy, and we’re excited about the opportunity to offer our customers even greater choice and performance for their IT environments.

I am also excited to welcome the additional software talent you will bring to Dell. Our recent acquisitions are creating the foundation for a very meaningful software business for us, as well as a strong presence in the Silicon Valley.

I look forward to meeting you tomorrow morning in Fremont for our Town Hall meeting, and to connecting with many of you via phone later in the evening.

All the Best,

Michael
