MILPITAS, Calif.  March 24, 1993 -- Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc.,
(Sun Federal) and JWP Information Services today announced they have
signed an agreement that authorizes JWP to market and resell Sun
SPARC(TM) workstations and server systems to state and local governments
throughout the United States. JWP is one of the leading system
integrators for such users, while Sun systems -- running the Solaris(R)
computing environment -- are the world's top-selling workstations and
servers. Most of the users to be served by JWP are involved in moving
information systems and critical software applications from a
traditional mainframe computing environment to a distributed
client-server environment.

Under the agreement, JWP will offer state and local government
customers integration, installation, and maintenance services. The two
companies will also initiate joint sales efforts to penetrate the state
and local government market, where JWP's field sales is especially
strong.

Commenting on the alliance, Thomas Cook, Sun Federal manager, state and
local governments, said that JWP is an ideal partner. "JWP has the
management, customer support services and technical expertise to
deliver our open, client-server solutions to this growing state and
local government market."

Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun
Microsystems, Inc., the world's leading supplier of client-server
computing solutions. Sun Federal, founded in 1984, is headquartered in
Milpitas, Calif.
