Alberta Real Estate Association Selects Q9express Managed Server Bundle To Ensure Reliability of Online Multimedia Education Programs

Toronto, ON - June 21, 2005 - Q9 Networks Inc. (TSX:Q), a leading provider of outsourced Internet infrastructure and related managed services, is pleased to announce the Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA) has selected a Q9express Managed Server Bundle to host its suite of online broker education programs.

The Association moved from an internal solution to a Q9express Managed Server Bundle because of increased performance and reliability requirements. The bundle, specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises, is backed by Q9's industry-leading 100 per cent uptime guarantee.

AREA is a not-for-profit society representing more than 9,000 licensed real estate practitioners in Alberta. The Association administers the educational courses required to become licensed as a broker or agent in the province. It also produces and offers a variety of Web-based courses for ongoing mandatory professional development.

"Our course content is becoming richer and now includes multimedia elements such as video," says Ingrid Druml, Manager of Finance and Administration, Alberta Real Estate Association. "This is driving our need for a robust hosting solution that can deliver very high performance and reliability. The work schedules and locations of our members also necessitate that courses be available on a 7 x 24 basis. With Q9, we get the convenience of a fully managed solution, backed by service level agreements and 24-hour technical support, all at an affordable monthly fee."

The Enhanced Bundle adds centralized data back-up. The Security Bundle includes both back-up and a dedicated, highly secure firewall appliance. As Internet infrastructure needs grow, customers can upgrade to another bundle or can enhance existing bundle configurations with a variety of custom solutions, including: additional servers, fail-over firewall and load balancing solutions and a dedicated remote link for back-office connectivity.

"Since announcing the first managed server bundle solutions in the Canadian market in April 2002, we've seen strong demand for Q9express from both the mid-market and the enterprise space at the department level," says Osama Arafat, CEO, Q9 Networks. "Q9express bundles provide affordable, rapidly provisioned solutions that enable companies of any size to outsource the burden of infrastructure management while better focusing on core competencies."

Q9 delivers unparalleled service through an extensive suite of customer care products, including a Web-based portal that provides complete visibility into customer equipment and Q9 services. All Q9 and customer systems are monitored from Q9's multiple Network Operations Centres (NOCs) 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
