Ft. Walton Beach, FL. – October 25th, 2005

QStar Technologies, today announces its partnership with Abrevity Inc., a provider of data classification and search and indexing utilities.

ABREVITY‘s BioData Manager™ software is the first solution designed to solve mission critical file management pains for firms using life sciences instruments.  BioData Manager leverages a new patent-pending SLICE™ technology that empowers granular file content discovery, custom classification and search & retrieval for files resident on Windows or UNIX storage systems.  Installed in minutes, easy-to-use and low-cost, BioData Manager allows scientists and IT professionals to find and extract targeted data values or strings found inside files created by Flow Cytometers, Confocal microscopes or other laboratory instruments.

"Indexing and classifying data on archival media has become vital and necessary in order for businesses to effectively manage and meet the compliance requirements of the regulated bio data industry. Searching for data and leveraging it into business information is now time consuming and challenging for these research labs, " said Joel Harrison, President & Chief Operating Officer, Abrevity., "The integration of Abrevity's BioData Manager reduces the time consuming real-time indexing of data as it is being archived by QStar Data Director representing a complete solution for compliancy problems.”

The combined solution lets data managers and scientists search for and find FACS 3.0, Leica and other popular laboratory instrument files stored on desktops, servers, network attached storage, tape, WORM, optical or content addressed storage (CAS) archives.  It also empowers granular data classification and “grooming” for intelligent disk to disk to tape backup, tiered storage (ILM) and full FDA compliant archiving.

“Research data and corporate archive information is useless if managers cannot find their data in a timely manner.  By classifying data and managing it based on data type the solution reduces the time to find specific research data bringing an immediate return on investment to the customer”, said Todd Deveney, Vice President of Sales at QStar Technologies.

This combined solution is currently available through select resellers.  More product information is available at www.qstar.com or at www.abrevity.com Please contact us for reseller information at 800.568.2578 or email us at info@qstar.com.
