interim CEO James E. Ousley will serve as its chief executive officer. As a
result, the company's board of directors has ended its search for a new CEO.

"The experience that we've had with Jim serving as interim CEO over the
past two months has led the board to conclude that we already have the ideal
candidate in the chief executive role," said Dr. James P. Pellow, chairman of
the board's corporate governance committee. "The same confidence in Jim that
caused us to put him in the leadership position during the management
transition has led us to ask him to take on the role on a regular, full-time
basis, and we are very pleased that he has accepted. Jim has demonstrated a
strong ability to work with the management team and has already exhibited the
strategic vision and tactical sense required to effectively implement Savvis'
plans for the future and to aid in the company's ability to grow and expand."

"I'm excited about this new chapter in my career and pleased with the
confidence the board of directors has shown in my ability to lead Savvis,"

our customers, employees and shareholders."
