Savvis Study Reveals 75% of Companies Will Use Enterprise-Class Cloud Computing Solutions Within Five Years

IT Decision-Makers Face Challenge of Finding the Right Cloud Solution for Their Companies

ST. LOUIS, November 29, 2010 - Three-fourths of companies either currently employ enterprise-grade cloud
computing solutions or plan to implement enterprise-grade cloud over the next
five years, according to a new study commissioned by Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq:
SVVS), a global leader in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for
enterprises.

IDG Research Services and CIO Custom Solutions Group surveyed 172 chief
technology officers, chief information officers and IT managers from around
the globe. Their report, titled "Enterprise-Grade Cloud Computing Adoption:
Trends and Purchase Requirements," can be downloaded at
www.savvisknowscloud.com/information-center.

"This independent study validates the industry notion that enterprises
want customizable cloud solutions that go beyond the application level and
comprehensively address requirements such as security and service levels,"
said Bryan Doerr, chief technology officer at Savvis.

The study found that IT usually identifies projects and areas that could
benefit from cloud and informs the business. However, 23 percent of
respondents reported that business leaders sometimes bypass IT and purchase
solutions on their own.

Other key findings from the survey include:

    - 60 percent consider it extremely or very challenging to find the right
      cloud computing solution for their companies
    - 69 percent perceive cloud computing solutions as offering greater
      flexibility
    - 64 percent expect spending on hosted, on-demand and/or cloud-based
      software at their companies to increase over the next year
    - 62 percent rate security as a critical factor when evaluating cloud
      solutions

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 the Savvis Symphony line of cloud services.

Savvis Symphony includes converged cloud 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. The
low-latency distribution network allows Savvis to offer a complete,
end-to-end, quality of service-enabled solution for clients - from inside the
