ST. LOUIS, November 19 - Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVVS), a global leader in outsourced Internet
infrastructure services for the enterprise, today announced that it has
recently completed its sixth consecutive examination in conformity with
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70), Service Organizations for
the period October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 that was performed by
Ernst & Young LLP.

Completion of the SAS 70 Type II examination indicates that selected
Savvis processes, procedures and controls have been formally evaluated and
tested by an independent accounting and auditing firm. The examination
included the company's controls related to managed security services, change
management, service delivery, support services, backup and environmental
controls, logical and physical security, as well as managed storage and
managed backup services.

SAS 70 is designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
as an acceptable method for management to obtain assertions about service
organization internal controls without conducting separate assessments. In
addition, the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
make SAS 70 reports even more important to the process of reporting on
effective internal controls by public companies.

A SAS 70 examination is widely recognized, because it represents that a
service organization has been through an evaluation of their internal
controls as they relate to an audit of the financial statements of its
customers. A Type II report not only includes the service organization's
description of controls, but also includes detailed testing of the design and
operating effectiveness of the service organization's controls.

"As a leading global provider of outsourced internet infrastructure
services, Savvis is focused on developing and refining systems and processes
that fully secure our IT service delivery platforms," said Jeff Von Deylen,
Senior Vice President of Global Services and Operations for Savvis. "The SAS
70 examination is an important benchmark for our customers who are faced with
increasing compliance requirements as they to evaluate outsourcing options
for their IT infrastructure."
