Enterprise-Class Cloud Can Be Combined with Traditional Infrastructure Offerings Such as Colocation and Managed Services

ST. LOUIS, June 28, 2010 - Savvis Symphony, one of the broadest lines of cloud services on the
market, officially launches today with the release of Savvis Symphony Virtual
Private Data Center (VPDC), a new cloud computing offering from Savvis, Inc.
that provides clients with 100 percent enterprise-class cloud.

Savvis Symphony offers fully managed hosting services on top of fully
managed, enterprise-class infrastructure. The Savvis Symphony suite of cloud
services includes:

    - Savvis Symphony VPDC and Savvis Symphony Open - both public cloud
      services - which offer differentiated service levels with predictable
      performance for scenarios ranging from development and testing of new
      applications to automated capacity increases due to seasonality or
      unforeseen demand for IT resources; and
    - Savvis Symphony Dedicated - a private cloud service - which allows
      clients to tailor and scale their dedicated infrastructure at their own
      pace.

Savvis Symphony VPDC allows enterprises to quickly and securely design
and deploy a complete set of enterprise-class data center services for a
variety of applications. There's no need to physically procure, install,
configure or manage any hardware.

"An enterprise-class VPDC can be configured and deployed in about an hour
from anywhere in the world, whereas it often takes up to 90 days to provision
physical servers and build out the operating systems using typical IT
processes," said Bryan Doerr, chief technology officer at Savvis.

Savvis Symphony VPDC currently features two service profiles - Essential
and Balanced - with a third - Premier - planned in a follow-up release. "Our
multilevel service profile capability provides a range of features, support
levels and performance to meet the needs of various application types,
including test and development, web hosting and mission-critical
applications," Doerr said.

As enterprises look to move mission-critical applications to the cloud,
many are increasingly concerned with the privacy and security of their data,
as well as the performance of their cloud-based applications. Savvis
addresses these requirements through a range of network solutions integrated
with Savvis Symphony. This "converged cloud" includes network options ranging
from public connectivity over Savvis' Tier 1 IP network backbone to secure,
low-latency, quality-of-service-enabled Application Transport Services (ATS),
Savvis' core Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based service.

In addition, Savvis Symphony Open and Savvis Symphony Dedicated can be
used to create unique hybrid solutions that blend enterprise-class cloud with
traditional infrastructure services such as colocation and managed services.
This unique combination of services, infrastructure and business model,
coupled with Savvis' global data center footprint, enables enterprises to
create a consistent, secure application experience anywhere in the world.

"Not all applications are cloud ready, but enterprises still want to take
advantage of the cost savings of cloud," Doerr said. "Savvis Symphony hybrid
solutions tie the cloud into an organization's colocation, managed services
and network services to solve unique needs while backed by the security and
performance of a leading infrastructure provider."

Savvis Symphony benefits also include design and control of services
through click-and-drag provisioning using the SavvisStation Portal, rapid
scalability and hourly billing.

Innovest Systems, a financial services company with a
software-as-a-service (SaaS) trust and wealth management platform, turned to
Savvis Symphony VPDC as a beta client. Innovest, which continues to use the
Savvis cloud service, now has the flexibility, scalability and control it
needs to keep its IT infrastructure in sync with customer demand for its
solutions.

"Today, if I need more resources, I don't even have to contact Savvis. I
can go directly to my customer portal and create a data center and deploy
it," said Ray Umerley, vice president, chief security officer, Innovest. "I
can actually go in and provision storage, and I can provision virtual
machines."

Umerley appreciates the many features of Savvis Symphony VPDC.

"A lot of other cloud vendors put your data wherever they have space -
they could be splitting your data up amongst multiple data centers, so it's
really hard to tell where it is, who has access to it, or even whether it is
crossing international lines," he said. "With Savvis, you know exactly where
your data is. Savvis is completely transparent."

The Savvis Symphony suite of services currently is available in 18 data
centers with global access via Savvis' network across North America, Europe
and Asia.
