Data Center Expansion Supports Growing Enterprise Demand For IT
Infrastructure Services in the Dallas Metroplex
DALLAS – April 15, 2008 – Responding to growing customer demand for
integrated hosting and network services, SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVVS), a global
leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications, today announced
it has completed construction and officially opened a new data center adjacent
to its existing facility in the Dallas metropolitan area.
Located in Irving, Texas the new facility is the second data center on the
property and provides additional capacity to serve new and existing clients. It
features approximately 37,000 square feet of raised floor space with an
additional 45,000 square feet of raised floor available for expansion. It offers
customers 170 watts/square foot of conditioned power delivered by a five bus
electrical system and backed up with uninterruptible power supplies and diesel
generators.
The new hosting facility provides SAVVIS’ broad portfolio of highly scalable IT
infrastructure services, including colocation, managed hosting, virtualized and
utility computing, managed networks, and security services. Customers will also
be able to take advantage of SAVVIS’ new Application Transport Network (ATN),
which enables optimized network performance, scalability and delivery.
One of the enterprise customers expanding into the newly opened space is
Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business
optimization software. Omniture serves more than 4,400 clients across 75
countries. As a rapidly growing company, Omniture requires high performance, yet
highly scalable IT infrastructure to underpin its rapidly growing web-based
business providing business optimization software to customers such as eBay,
AOL, Wal-Mart, Gannett, Microsoft, Neiman Marcus, Oracle, General Motors, Sony
and HP.
“SAVVIS’ Dallas facility provides us with the additional capacity and IT
infrastructure capable of scaling rapidly to meet the demands of our growth,”
said Brett Error, Chief Technology Officer, Omniture. “This flexibility allows
us to reduce capital expenditures and provides valuable options as we develop
the roadmap for future growth in our IT operations."
To protect customers’ mission critical applications and data, SAVVIS’ new Dallas
data center integrates a full range of 24/7 physical and logical security
features ranging from ballistic rated entrances and checkpoints to biometric
registration and authorization systems.
“SAVVIS is pleased to expand our presence in Dallas to meet the increasing
demand for IT solutions that integrate compute, storage and network capabilities
and are delivered as a service,” said Phil Koen, Chief Executive Officer of
SAVVIS. “This increase in capacity creates new opportunities for Dallas
enterprises seeking hosting services and further augments our existing customer
base and strong sales and operations teams already in place in Dallas.
In addition to the new data center in Dallas, SAVVIS completed development and
opened four new data centers last fall in the Atlanta, Washington DC, Silicon
Valley and New York metropolitan areas, and has additional data centers opening
in Chicago, London and Singapore. SAVVIS total data center footprint now exceeds
1.4 million square feet of raised floor encompassing 29 data centers worldwide.
