Nearly Two-Thirds of IT Infrastructure Expected to be Outsourced by 2020, According to Savvis' Global Study (U.K.)

Global independent research predicts major shift toward managed services

LONDON, June 8, 2010 - An annual study commissioned by Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVVS), a global
leader in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for enterprises,
predicts the number of companies that outsource their IT infrastructure will
increase globally from 17 percent today to 64 percent in 2020.

In April, independent research firm Vanson Bourne surveyed more than 600
IT and business decision makers from mid to large enterprises and public
sector organisations based in the United States, United Kingdom and
Singapore.

Sixty-one percent of respondents believe managing IT in-house provides no
competitive advantage and has to stop.

"With the rise in acceptance of outsourcing within the IT industry and
the related economies of scale that accompany the managed services model,
organisations are finding it difficult to justify owning their own IT
infrastructures," said Bryan Doerr, chief technology officer at Savvis.

The trend away from in-house IT infrastructure can be seen in the study
results:

United Kingdom:

    - In-house IT infrastructure is predicted to drop from 90
      percent today to just 23 percent in 2020.
    - Lower total cost of infrastructure ownership is seen by 41
      percent as the main reason for moving to cloud-based IT.
    - Confidence continues to grow, with 96 percent of organisations
      stating they are as or more confident in cloud being enterprise ready
      now than in 2009.
    - Fifty-one percent of public sector IT knows huge savings can be
      made from cloud but central Government guidelines make it difficult to
      switch.

In looking at 2010, organisations cited cost savings (58 percent) and
growing revenue (54 percent) as their top strategic priorities. The biggest
issue facing organisations is having to doing more with less budget (54
percent).

When asked what factors prevent their organisations from outsourcing all
elements of their IT infrastructure, survey respondents cited company culture
(43 percent) and sunk costs where IT assets are already paid for and owned
(37 percent).
