Subject:	Dell Announces Intent to Acquire 3PAR

Team,

This morning we announced our intent to acquire 3PAR (NYSE: PAR), a leading global provider of highly-virtualized storage solutions with advanced data management features for multi-tenant cloud computing environments. 3PAR provides rapid provisioning and predictable performance for customers facing capacity challenges by reducing data management costs by up to 90 percent and infrastructure costs by up to 75 percent. Closing remains subject to customary closing conditions.

This acquisition further supports Dell’s commitment to provide best-in-class, open solutions that reduce complexity and enhance efficiency and value for our customers.

When this acquisition is finalized, Dell will be able to offer customers additional storage choices for highly virtualized server environments, with special emphasis on customers that want to fundamentally reduce their storage costs and simplify the management of their IT infrastructure.

Over the past few months, we have significantly enhanced our storage capabilities through acquisitions like Exanet, Scalent and Ocarina Networks. The acquisition of 3PAR will round out our storage portfolio and enables customers of all sizes to manage data more efficiently. We are becoming a formidable player in the storage space.

Please remember that while we want our teams to promote the transaction and maintain our customer base, we need to be mindful that the transaction has not closed and we must continue to operate in the ordinary course of business and compete aggressively to maintain our business, even if that includes competing against 3PAR. We can promote the transaction but only as we describe in this package. Moreover, you cannot contact 3PAR in any way or share any confidential information with 3PAR, which is the same guidance that we always follow.
