FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Webvisions Partners Sun Microsystems to Offer Robust, Cost-effective, Dedicated Hosting Services for SMEs

Service Range Boasts 24/7 Turn-On Promise, 30 Days Service Contract, One-For-One Hardware Replacement Guarantee And Monitoring

SINGAPORE, 2 August 2001 - Webvisions, a leading hosting provider in Asia, today announced an agreement with Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW) enabling both companies to provide Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with 24-hour Turn-On hosting services. Backed by Sun's premium quality hardware support and Webvisions' "30 Days Notice" promise, the partnership allows SMEs to purchase their own Internet web and email servers with high-end connectivity. Webvisions' "30 Days Notice" guarantees averting depreciation and obsolescence problems that arise from long contracts required by standard hosting providers.

Bolstered by a one-for-one hardware replacement from Sun, and Webvisions' "30 Days No Strings Attached" policy, this collaboration will enable Webvisions to provide its current base of 12,000 customers looking to 'internet-enable' their businesses, e-Business possibilities at low-risk and low set up costs begetting savings rates of over 60 per cent.

"This new service range confirms our commitment to the special needs of the SME market in the Asia-Pacific region" said Roger Lim, CEO, Webvisions. "Its cost effective and service-driven guarantees will ensure that SMEs have a headstart in the global race towards Internet enablement of the small business."

Drawing on the inherent capabilities of the Sun CacheRaQ 4, a server appliance that is based on the Sun Cobalt appliance architecture, Webvisions will be able to offer businesses quick and easy installations as well as 24/7 monitoring and support. In addition, the Sun CacheRaQ4 improves network response time by providing local storage for Web content. It is pre-configured with the proper hardware and software combination designed for web caching.
