Informational Intl Picks Teneros

Owned and operated by information scientists, Information International Associates (also known as IIa) provides information technology services, open-source intelligence research and analysis, library and information center management, policy development and strategic planning, and military personnel systems management to government agencies. Customers include the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Key purchase drivers

Aaron Myers, IIa senior business systems analyst, said the company chose Teneros for two key reasons:

"Email is a primary form of communication and it is also where we maintain attachments, conversations, calendars and contact information," Myers said. "So when we're disconnected from email, we're disconnected from the world and, most importantly, from our customers. We've also had problems with corrupt data, so we need a solution that not only provides continuous, secure email operations, but tackles the data corruption issue too. We looked at other options, but Teneros is clearly the best we have found, and the way it handles corrupt data is the icing on the cake. As soon as we installed the Teneros appliance, we were immediately able to clean up our database during regular business hours, and we can do our Exchange maintenance during business hours as well, all with zero downtime. It's worked out great."
