www.teneros.com) a market leader in application continuity appliances, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement for its products in the UK and EU markets with ETC and Interchange the two distribution brands of Specialist Computer Holdings , Europe’s leading independent IT company. As one of the UK’s largest distributors this announcement means that UK businesses operating Microsoft Exchange will be able to benefit from Teneros’ appliances that provide local high availability and remote disaster recovery for 24/7 email continuity. Having recently acquired VC funding of USD40m to drive global business expansion, Teneros already has several high profile customers in the UK including the Royal College of Physicians, London.
Speaking about the announcement Steve Lewis, co-Founder and CEO of Teneros, said; "We are extremely pleased to have ETC & Interchange as our strategic distribution partners for the United Kingdom and European Union. They have established a reputation for offering best-of-breed technology which has allowed them to develop the strongest network of resellers in these regions. Email is mission-critical to businesses worldwide, and these businesses must have a simple, cost-effective, solution for assuring 24X7 email continuity. To that end, we look forward to delivering our Application Continuity Appliances™ for Microsoft Exchange with ETC into the UK and Europe."
Email system downtime creates major headaches for many companies, directly impacting business operations, revenue generation, customer service, and employee productivity. An estimated two-thirds of all companies use Microsoft Exchange for their e-mail, and even a few hours of downtime a year can cost businesses dearly both in terms of revenue and employee productivity costs. In addition, existing solutions for ensuring Microsoft Exchange uptime involve IT staff conducting a multi-vendor science project to install and setup and then performing time-consuming regular maintenance. Teneros offers a comprehensive, single-vendor solution, deployed as a remotely managed appliance that makes it easy for companies to assure 24x7 Exchange continuity.
Speaking about the announcement and the benefits that Teneros will bring to its product portfolio, Andy Arthur, General Manager and Director of ETC & Interchange , said; “ We are pleased to be partnering with another best-of-breed vendor – this time for the business critical challenge of email continuity. Teneros’ appliances fit well into our product offering and suit the markets we serve “Our specialist sales teams have the knowledge and experience required for such technologically advanced products. We are a highly skilled organisation with over 18 years experience in providing the best possible solutions at the best possible price.
“We have a reputation for spotting the rising stars and bringing them into our portfolio,” he continued. “Our sales teams understand the market and are educated in the products they sell so the addition of Teneros to our range of solutions means we can provide a fuller portfolio to our reseller base.”
Arthur concluded, “We know how to sell the right product to the right customer. ETC and Interchange don’t simply sell leading brands, but provide sophisticated, intelligent and bespoke IT solutions. As part of this commitment, this is a great occasion for a limited number of partners to take on board this Teneros product and capitalize on the opportunity.”
