- Savvis to Provide Colocation, Managed Hosting, Security, Network and
Professional Services for U.S. Government Agency

Savvis Federal Systems, a subsidiary of Savvis, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVVS),

four options) delivery order under its General Services Administration (GSA)
schedule by the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Under the terms of the agreement, Savvis - a global leader in cloud
infrastructure and hosted IT solutions - will provide colocation, managed
hosting, security and network services, as well as professional services to
the FEC in two Savvis data centers. In addition, Savvis will host the FEC.gov
website and disaster recovery solutions.

Savvis Federal Systems was originally awarded a five-year (base and four
options) delivery order with the FEC in March 2006. This new contract was
awarded to Savvis by the FEC after a fair opportunity competition via GSA
eBUY with other GSA Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) vendors.

"Savvis Federal Systems is uniquely positioned to support federal
agencies as they expand government relations into online, interactive
channels," said David Shacochis, vice president, global public sector at
Savvis. "We are excited about the opportunity to support the FEC with a
flexible and scalable solution for application hosting and data protection."

Savvis currently serves many high-profile U.S. government agencies,
including the Small Business Administration and the National Labor Relations
Board, through cloud, Web hosting and other services. In October 2010, Savvis
Federal Systems was awarded a contract by the GSA to provide cloud computing
to federal, state and local government organizations. Savvis is one of a
select group of IT IaaS providers currently engaged with the GSA to provide
Federal Information Security Management Act compliance of its cloud platforms
for appropriately classified workloads.

In February 2011, Savvis announced the availability of the Savvis
Symphony Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) enterprise-class cloud service to
clients through its data centers in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Savvis also has a growing public sector presence in other countries
around the world. For example, the company recently announced that its
Government Wide Service (GWS) platform is now available to all government
departments and third-party suppliers in the United Kingdom. This compliant
IaaS platform provides a solution for government agencies looking toward a
"G-Cloud" model of hosted, reduced-cost IT operations and services. The U.K.
Home Office continues to use the platform, and the Ministry of Justice is a
new client.
