Savvis datacentre footprint hits 2.4 million square feet

Cloud infrastructure specialist announces a further expansion of its global datacentre presence

Datacentre specialist Savvis has grown its global datacentre footprint by adding two new ones and expanding its existing offering.

The firm has cut the ribbons on two new datacentres in Hong Kong and London, and also expanded eight of its existing datacentres, which it claims is in reponse to growing global demand for enterprise cloud, managed hosting, network and colocation services.

This latest move brings Savvis' total datacentre presence to more than 2.4 million square feet, with more than 50 datacentres located across North America, Asia and Europe.

Jeff Von Deylen, president of Savvis, said: "Whether it is 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 datacentre.

"By expanding our footprint, we are giving businesses additional strategic, secure locations and interconnectivity opportunities for growing their capabilities and core business offerings through infrastructure outsourcing."
