Even if MS Exchange was completely flawless and never went down, wouldn't you still need HA & DR? Does Teneros protect only against the MS software - or also against problems with the hardware it runs on? Or the network connecting your hardware to the world? When I think of Exchange DR, I'm more worried about hardware and networks than I am about Exchange itself. As pointed out...2/3 of all businesses run Exchange. I don’t get it.

As a member of the Teneros team myself it means a lot to know that the concept of our business and our products themselves are well received by many people. We're very excited about this new round of funding of course, it will give us the room to develop that we need. We continue to have 50% quarterly growth and this may be what we need to have a successful public launch and become the leaders in application continuity!

It's much cheaper and easier for a small company without a large experienced IT team to rely on outside providers to provide "easy" DR services then to plan and implement something yourself. The fact that this company has garnered a large investment pile shows the strength that Exchange has in the marketplace and the obvious trust that it is only going to get stronger.

It even may not be fair to blame Exchange for failing to recover gracefully and quickly from many outages that were not its fault -- though I've heard enough horror stories about this to believe that oftentimes the shoe does fit. But as pointed out by @21, these would be largely moot points if Microsoft were providing better clustering, replication and D/R capabilities in Exchange itself. The fact that investors have sunk $80m into filling this gap, with the implication that they expect rewards that multiply their investment many times, implies that these investors are betting a lot of money that Microsoft will not sufficiently improve Exchange to meet the continuity capabilities that customers need, despite the fact that some other vendors already do a good job of that in their competing enterprise mail server offerings. @25: It is absolutely true that blaming MS for all Exchange outages is not accurate.
