SINGAPORE – July 18, 2008 – In response to growing global customer demand for integrated hosting and network services, SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVVS), a global leader in IT Infrastructure Services for business applications, today announced the opening of its expanded Singapore data center.
Offering more than 18,000 sq ft of raised floor space, the data center builds on SAVVIS’ long-term presence in Asia Pacific and the company’s continued investment in the region demonstrates excellent business opportunities and confidence in the market.
SAVVIS Singapore provides a broad range of IT infrastructure services including managed hosting, virtualized and utility computing, managed networks, managed security services and consultancy services, to meet the requirements of current customers and other fast-growing enterprises within the Asia Pacific region.
