Business Description

SAVVIS is a global information technology, or IT, services company delivering integrated hosting, network, voice, digital content management, industry solutions and professional services to organizations around the world and to the U.S. federal government. Our unique solutions model combines advanced virtualization technology, utility services, and automated software management and provisioning systems to deliver “instant” access to a suite of IT services that offer high availability, business agility and disruptive economics. Our solutions enable customers to focus on their core business while we ensure the performance of their IT infrastructure. We have over 5,500 customers in the financial services, media, retail, professional services, healthcare and manufacturing sectors.

Our portfolio of services is as follows:

Managed IP VPN includes private networks (known as IP VPNs). This service is a fully managed, end-to-end service that includes all hardware, management systems, and operations to transport voice, video, and data applications. This service has built-in security, fully meshed connectivity, and the ability to assign individual service levels to different applications so each application receives the performance levels it requires and the customer saves money by not over-building their network.

Hosting includes the facilities, networks, servers, storage, and operations to run business applications. Customers can take advantage of our Flexible Service Model which allows them to decide the right mix of our service for their applications from full outsourcing to basic colocation. We offer these hosting services, as well as other services, through our 24 data centers located throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. We also have integrated Microsoft Exchange 2003 and SharePoint® with our utility infrastructure to offer enterprise messaging and collaboration as an outsourced service.

Other Network Services includes Internet access, wholesale carrier networks, and voice services. These services can be purchased individually or in combination. The network portfolio emphasizes high performance and availability, end-to-end management and monitoring, security, any-to-any connectivity, and cost effectiveness.



Digital Content Management/Media Services provide a shared-managed infrastructure tied to workflow applications that enhance the creation, production and distribution of digital content and streaming media. These services help customers manage, share, store and distribute their digital content inside their organization and throughout supply chains outside of their
organization through a single access point and a single system. We also offer a specific configuration of our hosting infrastructure called a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that integrates over 3,000 servers in nearly 500 locations around the world to improve the performance of web applications.

Our customers’ varied and individual needs often require that our portfolio of services be combined and integrated in order to best suit their needs. To address these needs, we also offer the following services:

Industry Solutions that integrate powerful applications with our global infrastructure to deliver services that enhance industry-specific workflows and improve enterprise productivity. Industry solutions support the financial services, media and entertainment, retail and federal government markets. Cross-industry solutions for email and collaboration are also available.

Professional Services are provided through a group of industry experts and skilled practitioners that allow our customers to get the maximum value out of their SAVVIS services. We offer assistance and consultation in networking security, performance tuning and optimization, business recovery, operations, and migration.
