Teneno

Teneno is a leading provider of simple, secure and affordable networking-on-demand solutions for Small and Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs). The service is cloud-based, providing an inherently more robust approach to network security when compared to traditional models. With Teneno, network access can also easily be provided to personal devices, making it straightforward to implement a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategy. The new Software Defined Network (SDN) model used by Teneno is an open platform developed at Stanford University: it extracts network software functionality from expensive hardware components and hosts them in the cloud. This drastically reduces costs by using industry standard hardware devices rather than proprietary boxes; and because these costs - inexpensive to begin with – are shared across multiple users. Teneno’s subscription-based business model therefore delivers core network functionality at a fraction of the cost of traditional providers.
