New Disaster Recovery Appliance for Microsoft Exchange Launched

(Feb 15, 2007)--Teneros announced the general availability of their new Teneros Application Continuity Appliance for disaster recovery of Microsoft Exchange. The Teneros Application Continuity Appliance assures continuity of operations for the mission-critical Microsoft applications fueling corporations worldwide.

This release extends the company's email continuity offering from high availability on the LAN to remote disaster recovery on the WAN, now providing complete protection against downtime events ranging from a failed server to a full site outage. Like the LAN-based Teneros Application Continuity Appliances which offer plug-&-go failover technology assuring 24X7 local high availability for Microsoft Exchange, the new appliances provide remote disaster recovery assuring end-users continuous email application functionality and full email data access in the event of a site-wide outage due to a natural disaster, human conflict, or security attack.

"Teneros is a market driven company. As such, we have responded to our customers' requests to extend our technology across the WAN to give them simple, appliance-based remote disaster recovery protection for their mission critical email operation. Our new Application Continuity Appliances for disaster recovery complete their continuity requirements," said Teneros CEO Steve Lewis. "Our simple, affordable appliances are easy to install, non- intrusive, and prevent email database corruption. They are perfect for mid- market companies who need enterprise-class email continuity but cannot pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for it."

The new Teneros appliances can be deployed in the remote location of choice be it another company office or any remote disaster recovery site. For example, if a company has offices in New York and San Francisco and an earthquake in occurs San Francisco taking the Exchange server there off-line, the Teneros Application Continuity Appliance for disaster recovery in New York will take over and continue to provide full function end-user email operation and email data access.

When the production Exchange server resumes operation in San Francisco, hours, days, or weeks later, the network administrator initiates failback, and the Teneros disaster recovery appliance copies the downtime email data back onto the restored Exchange server. The missing data includes email sent and received during the outage and any missing email in the event that the backup used by the network administrator to restore the production Exchange server was out of date or completely destroyed in the disaster. During failback, end- users continue to experience normal email operation, and upon completion of failback, end-users are automatically transferred back to the production Exchange server without email downtime. The Teneros appliance in New York then returns to standby mode, continuing to protect the Exchange server in San Francisco.
