Milan, Italy - June 16, 2009 - QStar Technologies, Inc., a global leader in archiving and data protection today announced that SNE has signed an agreement for the distribution of QStar solutions in The Netherlands. Under the terms of this new contract SNE will have access to QStar's complete line of open system software products and bundled appliances solutions for the management and archival storage of digital assets.

With offices in Emmen and Hilversum, SNE services a wide range of industries across The Netherlands. Their staff of senior specialists provides pre-sales consultation, training and post sales support to the reseller and end user community. SNE will position QStar's SntrySTR appliance and HSM archival software platform as key offerings within their portfolio. SntrySTR and HSM are designed for customers with high value data that must be preserved in a cost effective way to ensure business continuity and meet compliance obligations for data retention.

"QStar is very pleased to have our solutions distributed by SNE given their excellent reputation in the Dutch market. We've hit the ground running with SNE, having already identified several significant new opportunities." commented Dirk Jan Vermeulen, regional sales director at QStar. "What makes SNE different is their exclusive focus on storage and data management and their in depth market and technical knowledge. Today it's very difficult to find a true value added distributor, but SNE has earned this designation. Their expertise and service is greatly valued by both reseller partners and their end users."

"SNE is very selective about the products and companies we choose to represent." explained Rene Feijen, country manager for SNE. "Our business philosophy is to have a smaller number of vendors, each with a very clear value proposition that complements the overall portfolio. The QStar archive solutions meet or criteria on all accounts. We believe that the market demand for a professional archive solution is strong and growing and QStar has a compelling message. The SntrySTR archive appliance and HSM software helps companies cost effectively optimize their storage resource and provides a proven foundation for the long term management of their data."
