Teneros Expands Reach of Always-On Alliance Partner Program

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Exchange Connections Fall 2007, BOOTH #319 -- Teneros today announced that gold-certified Microsoft partners DynTek and Choice Solutions have joined the Teneros International Always-On Alliance Partner Program. The move adds 24 U.S. offices to the global network of channel partners that make Teneros' award-winning application continuity and disaster recovery appliances available to businesses that rely on Microsoft(R) Exchange.

DynTek: Hands-free management

DynTek provides advanced infrastructure products to mid-market organizations, including state and local governments, educational institutions and commercial entities in the largest IT markets nationwide. Experts at the company's 15 offices offer a broad range of IT security, unified communications, virtualization, Microsoft Information Worker, and application infrastructure and delivery solutions.

"Every business today needs 24X7 email availability, but not all of them have the time or resources to install and manage a complicated solution," said Bob Deschamps, area vice president of DynTek. "That's what differentiates the Teneros Application Continuity Appliance from other email continuity solutions in the market. It's incredibly sophisticated yet very simple, you plug it in and go, and Teneros remotely handles all the monitoring, update, and maintenance from its network operating center. That provides peace of mind to our customers, who can finally stop worrying about the threat of an email outage."

Choice Solutions: Instant failover

Choice Solutions is an award-winning, nationwide technology company delivering IT solutions that feature best-of-breed hardware and software vendors. With nine offices, the company is dedicated to helping its clients increase their productivity and profitability through the application of new and virtual technology.

Jim Steinlage, president of Choice Solutions, evaluated several products on the market but found that nothing could match the speed of Teneros' instant failover. "We looked closely at WANSync software solutions that provide data replication and application recovery, but for our customers whose email availability is mission-critical, they just weren't fast enough," he said. "Teneros' failover is less than two seconds, which is negligible to the end user, and that's what our customers are demanding. Downtime of any kind simply isn't acceptable for businesses that rely on email for the bulk of their communications, which makes up the majority of customers we serve."

"The decision by gold-certified Microsoft partners such as DynTek and Choice Solutions to join our channel partner network reflects the growing demand across all industries for affordable, reliable email continuity that is truly hands-free," said Steve Lewis, Teneros CEO. "Our simple plug-&-go(TM) appliances take the worry out of managing and performing regularly scheduled maintenance for Microsoft Exchange, and our instant failover appliance keeps email up and running during the entire process. Teneros appliances destroy the myth that preventing email outages is expensive and complicated."

Teneros' channel partners reach companies of all sizes across all industries. However, many partners focus on vertical markets prevalent in the geographies of their offices such as financial services, legal, architecture/engineering/construction, technology, education and healthcare.

Teneros Application Continuity Appliances(TM) assure affordable, 24X7, high availability and disaster recovery for Microsoft Exchange. The company's Plug-&-Go(TM), Instant-On(TM) failover appliances install in minutes and are remotely monitored, updated, and maintained by the Teneros Network Operations Center (NOC). Teneros received the 2007 Microsoft(R) Partner of the Year Award in OEM Hardware Solutions, Device Manufacturing, at the Microsoft(R) Worldwide Partner Conference in July and was selected as CRN's 2007 Emerging Tech Dynamo.
