November 29, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — IT infrastructure services provider SAVVIS (savvis.net) announced on Wednesday that it has launched a new hosting service, SAVVIS Foundation Hosting. The company also announced it is now offering HP BladeSystem c-Class for SAVVIS’ intelligent hosting and virtual intelligent hosting IT infrastructure services.
SAVVIS Foundation Hosting is the newest addition to SAVVIS’ hosting portfolio and serves as a bridge for customers choosing between colocation and managed IT solutions, says the company. It enables colocation customers to maintain control of their operating system including licensing, installation, monitoring and management of the OS, but eliminates burdens such as server hardware procurement, racking and stacking, space and power management and onsite support.
SAVVIS is also deploying the BladeSystem c-Class with its intelligent hosting and virtual intelligent hosting offerings, helping customers with achieving higher economies of scale compared to individual server nodes for large implementations via increased power and operational efficiencies.
“SAVVIS continues to broaden its product portfolio with an emphasis on providing customers with an easy migration path from dedicated, colocation solutions to value-added managed and virtualized hosting services that boost cost and performance benefits,” says James Whitemore, SAVVIS’ chief marketing officer. “The availability of the HP BladeSystem c-Class further extends this value proposition; when this option is deployed as part of SAVVIS intelligent hosting, customers have the potential to achieve an estimated additional ROI savings of five to 15 percent over comparable platforms for larger deployments in excess of 25 nodes.”
SAVVIS recently deployed the IT infrastructure to power Capazoo, a new social networking and online entertainment website.
