Banish Over-Buying from Your IT Budget.
Traditionally, you had little choice. When building your IT infrastructure, you were forced to estimate the maximum capacity you were likely to need to run your applications, and to purchase software licenses and hardware in anticipation of that. But hedging your bets on future growth by over-buying increased your total cost of ownership (TCO) exponentially — with no guarantee that your estimate was going to match reality. Now, however, you have Savvis. Goodbye, over-buying. Hello, instant (and cost-effective) scalability.
Savvis Utility Platform: Whatever You Need, Whenever You Need It.
The Savvis Utility Platform was designed to simplify configuration, installation, and management of your servers. This allows you to rapidly expand your computing capacity while keeping costs down. You pay only for what you need now — not what you think you’ll need tomorrow — and enable rapid provisioning of new servers with far fewer of the headaches that traditional racking and stacking configurations entailed.
By moving to the Savvis Utility Platform you:
- Achieve lower TCO due to fewer hardware devices and software licenses
- Quickly provision new servers in a matter of days
- Take advantage of a variety of CPU speeds and memory configurations
- Easily scale your storage as applications grow
- Improve performance through deployment of failover servers using a high availability option
- Rest easy with Savvis’ comprehensive and continuous monitoring of infrastructure — from the operating system down to the building that houses the servers
