U.S. Government Agency Savvis Federal Systems, a subsidiary of
Savvis, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVVS), today announced that it has been

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. About Savvis Savvis, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVVS) is a
