Cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions provider
Savvis has announced expansion in nine international markets. The move is a response to increased demand for the company's services, a demand which will be met by the company adding an additional 85,000 square feet of space and establishing new data centers.
Monroe, Louisiana-based Savvis, a CenturyLink subsidiary, provides solutions to a global customer base. The company runs advanced networks and alongside cloud options offers colocation and managed hosting services that enable its customers to focus on their core competencies. The company will be opening new data centers in London and Hong Kong and expand eight existing data centers. The result will be the company offering 2.4 million square feet of data center space through 50 data centers in North America, Europe and Asia.
Expansion of the company's Boston location was completed in April 2013, as was expansion at its Atlanta and Singapore locations. The company's new data center in London was completed in April 2013, while a separate expansion at this facility is earmarked for completion September 2013. Expansion at the company's Washington, D.C. facility will be completed this month, while expansion at its Dallas location is due July 2013. Expansion at its Piscataway, New Jersey location will be completed in August 2013, and its Tampa location expansion will be completed October 2013. The addition of a new Hong Kong location will be completed November 2013.
“Whether it’s empowering stock trades in the global market, pulling data from the cloud to deliver life-saving medical treatments or simply sending e-cards to friends across the world, the foundational technology that makes it all possible resides in a data center,” explained Savvis' president, Jeff Von Deylen. “By expanding our footprint, we’re giving businesses additional strategic, secure locations and interconnectivity opportunities for growing their capabilities and core business offerings through infrastructure outsourcing.”
