SAVVIS - High Performance Internet Solutions


About SAVVIS

SAVVIS is a leading global internetworking solutions provider offering high-quality, high-speed Internet and networking services to corporate users, web centric companies, and local/regional Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Together with its parent company, Bridge Information Systems, the largest provider of financial news and information in North America, SAVVIS provides bundled content, security and managed data networking services. Although a wholly owned company of Bridge, SAVVIS operates as a separate internetworking solutions company. With its headquarters in Reston, VA and a large, engineering and operations office in St. Louis, MO, SAVVIS has brought together a strong management team with exclusive Internet and telecommunications experience to build and grow the company.

The Network

SAVVIS has built a global "carrier class" network to deliver superior performance and reliability for its high-speed internetworking services. With state-of-the-art Lucent ATM switches along with Cisco and Nortel routers in major cities throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Rim, and the Americas, SAVVIS operates one of the largest IP networks in the world. The SAVVIS ProActive NetworkSM speeds data through a controlled environment and completely bypasses the congested public Internet exchange points, providing a dynamic route for traffic to flow on an optimal path to its destination network. SAVVIS has a unique network architecture that uses Private Network Access Points (PrivateNAPsSM), minimizing latency and packet loss commonly associated with many other national Internet networks. This network has achieved many independent industry accolades such as #1 Internet Network for Best Download Time, Best Performance Under Load, Best Total Performance, and Best Value by Keynote Systems (San Mateo, CA).
