New York Metro ISV of the Year - Appliances

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — July 3, 2008 — Teneros (www.teneros.com) has been formally recognized by Microsoft’s U.S. Field Partner Awards Program for ISVs in the New York Metro Area, as an outstanding Microsoft partner. To determine the winners, Microsoft evaluated the contributions of partners serving small, mid-market and enterprise commercial customers in metropolitan New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Conn., throughout the past fiscal year.

“Microsoft recognizes Teneros for their consistent and high standards in customer satisfaction throughout the year,” said Craig Kampel, New York Metro Area general manager for Microsoft’s Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners (SMS&P) group. “Teneros’ work to enable local companies to streamline their businesses through Microsoft Exchange demonstrates their commitment to helping those companies succeed.” 

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, partners received recognition across the Dynamics and Platform product groups in numerous individual categories. Microsoft named Teneros ISV of the Year – Appliance Platform for its “success in driving significant Microsoft platform revenue by selling its Application Continuity Appliances™ through a shared Microsoft channel.” Teneros Application Continuity Appliances for Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007 end email downtime for companies of all sizes across the full range of vertical industries.

“We are particularly proud of this award as it highlights the close relationship between Microsoft and Teneros,” said Andréa Skov, Teneros’ vice president of worldwide marketing. “We are continually working with the Microsoft partner channel and sponsoring national events like the Worldwide Partner Conference, as well as regional events such as Quarterly Partner Briefings in support of the Microsoft partner community, so we can deliver high value messaging continuity solutions for our mutual customers.”

Teneros Application Continuity Appliances for high availability and disaster recovery of Microsoft Exchange offer 99.999% uptime utilizing the company’s Instant-On™ failover technology. Teneros appliances require no configuration of, modification to, or additional software on the Exchange server or network infrastructure, and the appliances can be installed in minutes. The appliances are remotely monitored, maintained and updated from Teneros Network Operations Center, so no additional management or maintenance burden is imposed on the in-house IT team. The appliances use transactional integrity validation™ — Teneros’ proprietary, real-time data protection and corruption prevention technology — to prevent replication of corrupt Exchange data to Teneros appliances.
