MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 16 / -- Teneros has won the Partner of the Year Award for OEM Hardware, Device Manufacturing at the 2007 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Program Awards. The company was chosen out of an international field of top Microsoft Partners for delivering market-leading customer solutions built on Microsoft technology. The awards were distributed at a ceremony on July 11 in Denver, Colo. at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference.
"Microsoft's award for our Application Continuity Appliances that protect business-critical Microsoft Exchange communications is one of the company's most significant achievements since it was founded," said Teneros CEO Steve Lewis. "Microsoft is the undisputed leader in the corporate email market and we are focused 100 percent on assuring 24X7 email uptime to the thousands of companies worldwide that rely on Microsoft Exchange. We are honored to receive this award because it validates our technology and demonstrates the demand for a cost-effective, plug-and-go appliance to guarantee email continuity."
Awards were presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of more than 1,800 entrants worldwide. Teneros was recognized for superior technology and innovation in OEM Hardware, Device Manufacturing. The OEM Hardware Solutions, Device Manufacturing Partner of the Year award is designed to recognize independent hardware vendors or original device manufacturers that design and develop hardware peripheral and device solutions which use Microsoft technologies to create superior customer value.
"In its winning entry, Teneros has built a very impressive solution that both recognizes and promotes the value of Microsoft software, while creating additional value for customers with very little need for education or training," said Robert Deshaies, vice president, U.S. Partner Group, Microsoft Corp. "Teneros appliances clearly complement Microsoft Exchange solutions, and the value is twofold-it doesn't expand the size of a customer's IT department, and it provides end-user transparency."
How Teneros works
All Teneros Application Continuity Appliances for high availability and disaster recovery of Microsoft Exchange offer 99.99-percent uptime utilizing the company's Instant-On(TM) 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 replication of Exchange data corruption on Teneros appliances. The cost of the appliances is comparable to that of a provisioned Exchange server.
The Microsoft Partner Program Awards recognize Microsoft Partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions over the last year. More information about the winners is available at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass.
