SUN IS EXCLUSIVE HIGH-PERFORMANCE WORKSTATION SUPPLIER
TO SYLVEST FOR TREASURY BPA
WASHINGTON, D.C. - February 20, 1997 - Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced
that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc., is
the exclusive high-performance workstation and server supplier to
Sylvest Management Systems Corporation for the Treasury Distributed
Processing Infrastructure (TDPI), a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)
based on Sylvest's GSA Federal Supply schedule. The program will place
high performance workstations, servers, peripherals and software in the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other Treasury organizations.
The IRS, modernizing its tax processing systems using Sun(TM) products,
is the primary customer for TDPI. This single BPA accelerates the use
of Sun products in support of the IRS continued tax system
modernization program. Other treasury organizations also may use this
BPA to meet their computing needs, dramatically streamlining
procurement operations.
"Sun Federal and Sylvest have been teammates on several federal
technology projects and are confident TDPI will be another huge
success," said John Marselle, President of Sun Microsystems Federal,
Inc. "We are delighted to be a major contributor as the IRS continues
its tax system modernization program."
Sylvest's winning solution is based on Sun UltraSPARC(TM) workstations
and servers, including Ultra(TM) workstations, Ultra(TM) Enterprise 3000,
4000 and 6000 servers, and Ultra 2 enterprise servers. The Solaris(TM)
operating environment will be used for all systems.
Since its inception in 1982, a singular vision, "The Network Is The
Computer(TM)," has propelled Sun Microsystems, Inc., (NASDAQ"SUNW"), to
its position as a leading provider of hardware, software and services
for establishing enterprise-wide intranets and expanding the power of
the Internet. With more than $7 billion in annual revenues, Sun can be
