Xploite plc ("Xploite", "the Group", AIM: XPT), the operator and aggregator of strategic and high growth IT services businesses, announces
that Itheon, the Group's business solutions software subsidiary, has signed an agreement to license its Storage Resource Analysis (SRA)
software to Computer Data Source Inc (CDS), a US-based provider of IT services with a focus on Hardware Support Service Solutions.  

    The agreement includes a one-off payment in the current financial year for hosting the software and then the payment of subsequent
royalties.  This is in addition to the SRA licensing agreement with Glasshouse Technologies, Inc., announced on 28 October 2008. 

CDS provides Hardware Support Services for its customers across the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia. The Company supports a wide range of
product lines including those from EMC, IBM, HP, Sun, Compaq, StorageTek and NetApp product among many others.  Under the terms of this new
license agreement CDS will use Itheon's SRA software to provide storage assessments and ongoing storage analytics to its many clients.

optimised their existing storage infrastructure before buying new capacity. CDS have an excellent service reputation and we look forward to
building our North American presence with them."
    
Graham King, EVP of Sales and Marketing for CDS added:

"As the leading independent provider of storage services, we are very excited to be part of a product as significant as Storage Resource

capital while still advancing the goals of their corporation."
