Teneros’ Channel Partners Grow to 50 Worldwide

DENVER, Colo. (Microsoft® Worldwide Partner Conference, BOOTH # 1015) — July 10, 2007 — Teneros is now working with 50 highly qualified partners in major metropolitan areas worldwide to make its award-winning application continuity and disaster recovery appliances available to businesses that rely on Microsoft® Exchange at the heart of their electronic communications.

“The 50-partner milestone in Teneros’ Always-On Alliance Partner Program validates the mid-market demand for affordable 24X7 email continuity,” said Steve Lewis, Teneros CEO. “Expanding our channel partnerships in the major metros worldwide is a key focus for us. Our Always-On Alliance Partners are on the front lines everyday, serving customers who simply cannot afford email outages, and Teneros appliances fit their customers’ requirements perfectly.”

Teneros’ channel partners reach companies of all sizes in a variety of industries. Many partners have an emphasis on vertical markets such as financial services, legal, architecture/engineering/construction, technology, education and healthcare. Teneros’ traction with the channel, particularly Microsoft-certified partners, is driven by the product void in cost-effective, comprehensive mid-market email continuity offerings and the quality of the Teneros solutions for high availability and disaster recovery. Following are testimonials speaking to the success of the Teneros partner program:

Affordability & Value Proposition

"Regardless of our clients’ IT budgets, email continuity is absolutely critical to them as a part of their disaster recovery and business continuity strategy. Teneros protects them from the devastating impact of lost productivity due to outages, for a very reasonable price. Teneros is the email continuity solution for any business that depends on email as its primary mode of communication."

Ease of Installation

“If there was ever a product that fits the definition of ‘plug-and-go,’ Teneros is it. Installation is a breeze, literally taking no more than 20 minutes to have it fully up and running. And once that’s done, my customers’ email is protected without the need for ongoing IT support. To me that’s the perfect recipe for a successful vendor/client relationship.”

All Teneros Application Continuity Appliances for high availability and disaster recovery of Microsoft® Exchange offer 99.999-percent 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 can be installed in approximately 20 minutes. The appliances are remotely monitored, maintained and updated from Teneros Network Operations Center, so no additional IT burden is imposed on customers, and the appliances use transactional integrity validation — Teneros’ proprietary, real-time data verification technology — to prevent Exchange data corruption on Teneros appliances. The cost of the appliances is comparable to that of a provisioned Exchange server.

The channel partner announcement was made at the Microsoft® Worldwide Partner Conference, where Teneros has been named a finalist for Microsoft® Corp.’s Partner of the Year Award in OEM Hardware Solutions, Device Manufacturing. These awards recognize top Microsoft® Partners delivering innovative market-leading, Microsoft-based solutions. Teneros is an Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Microsoft® Gold Partner.
