18 American Hospital Association
Application Hosting & IP Connectivity Situation: Owned hardware with long purchasing cycles. Needed to focus on developing web and managing business applications Solution Complete utility services for managed hosting, virtual LANs Infrastructure tailored to business needs Results/Benefits Business continuity with built-in redundancy Predictable monthly operational costs American Hospital Association (AHA) operates over 70 websites to serve 5,000 hospitals, care providers and 37,000 individuals from various health care fields. AHA wanted to maintain their core competency in managing its business applications and developing web applications without having to purchase, configure or maintain any hardware or keep in-house expertise on operating systems. AHA looked at a number of providers, but found that Savvis was the only company that had a complete solution that included utility services, managed hosting, virtual LANs and more. – Jack MacKay VP and CIO “Savvis has been great at developing a solid understanding of AHA’s business needs and technical challenges and then working with my staff to develop flexible cost-effective solutions. I view Savvis as a valuable extension of my own staff.”

19 Financial Services Market Data: Low-Latency Distribution Networks
Situation: Intense focus on network latency; financial services industry consolidation; globalization of exchange, risk management, and markets Solution Dedicated financial team “Network behind the Brand Name” strategy Results Financial customers maintain strategic focus on information, not infrastructure Financial customers and Savvis plan for accelerated growth Latency, the lag between transmission and receipt of a market order, can be disastrous when dealing with sub-millisecond financial transactions. In the age of automated trading, a sub-millisecond or less can determine the profitability of a transaction. And since exchanges are located round the globe, today’s Financial Services customers come to Savvis to get the response time they require while still containing costs. Savvis is recognized as a leading brand in the financial services industry. We provided early IT infrastructure support for some of the largest and most demanding players in the world. With more than a decade of hands-on experience serving the financial sector, our professionals anticipate business challenges and deliver technology solutions to address them.

20 Savvis Enables easyJet: Global IT Outsource
Situation: High growth scalability; limited IT department; business continuance Solution All servers and networks Global load branding Microsoft Exchange Results/Benefits No system outages Growth partner easyJet is a low-cost European-based airline that also offers online car rental and hotel booking services They were experiencing double digit growth, but they knew that they needed to leverage technology in order for that to continue. They wanted to keep overhead low and have their systems to scale with their growth and allow their limited IT staff focused to focus on things that would grow the value of their business. In addition, the nature of their business required an infrastructure that was up 100 percent of the time. By outsourcing its IT infrastructure to Savvis, easyJet was able to ensure the safety, stability and security of its systems. Savvis now manages all of easyJet’s servers and networks, more than 300 devices, and Microsoft Exchange-based . Savvis also does all the global load balancing for easyJet.com, maintains all network equipment at the application level, and provides network connectivity from its data centers to airports and bases. – Andy Caddy Head of IT Architecture “Choosing Savvis meant the headaches went away. They had the right staff, the right facilities, and were in the right places at the right time – but they also understood our business problems, and were very flexible. Frankly, turning our IT infrastructure over to Savvis couldn’t have happened soon enough for me.” 20
