Qualstar Joins HDS Technology Alliance Program

Qualstar Corporation
has joined the Technology Alliance Program of Hitachi
Data Systems Corporation (HDS).

This program combines select partner technologies to
create solutions for HDS customers. As a partner in this
program, Qualstar will now have its tape library storage product line featured
on the HDS’ website as an integral piece of the go-to-market
portfolio.

"Qualstar’s selection for the HDS
program is a significant and exciting milestone for the company. By becoming one
of HDS’ alliance partners, we are driving increased brand
awareness and expanding our alternative distribution channels," said
Larry Firestone, president and CEO, Qualstar. "Our participation in this program was made
possible by our recently completed transition to outsourced manufacturing.
Having achieved this key strategic objective, we are now able to meet tier one
OEM reseller requirements with significant scalability, while freeing up
essential capital and resources to focus on product development and sales and
marketing."
