Finally, a Scalable Growth Path for Your Web Applications.
Many content-intensive Web-based applications have grown well beyond the point where a single server can deliver sufficient processing power. Even with adequate bandwidth, these applications are – from a user’s perspective – intolerably slow when accessed over the Internet. In a similar way, Web server performance has suffered by the increase in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-based traffic driven by e-commerce and e-marketing applications. For these and many other reasons, you require immense flexibility to deploy additional servers rapidly and transparently as needed based on user demands.
Options for Improving Server Performance.
Load balancing dramatically reduces the probability that any particular server will be overwhelmed and optimizes the bandwidth available to each computer or terminal. SSL Acceleration increases performance even further by offloading processing of the SSL handshake while leaving the server software free to process the less intense work involved in the actual SSL data exchange. Whether choosing one of these services under a managed dedicated, virtual services, or managed utility model, you are assured of Savvis’ trademark flexibility, scalability, and dedication to the highest levels of customer support.

Savvis can include Managed Virtual Services Load Balancing and SSL Acceleration Services when delivering Managed Hosting or Colocation solutions to our customers.
By leveraging Cisco’s leading Application Control Engine (ACE) to provide load balancing and SSL acceleration in a single virtualized delivery platform, we can distribute your network traffic evenly among your server environments, or divide the traffic such that servers with more CPU resources bear a heavier traffic load. This enables your servers to receive requests and supply content much more efficiently.
As part of its Virtual Services Load Balancing and SSL Acceleration capabilities, Savvis:
- Provides true service virtualization on a multi-tenant platform, which distributes user requests more efficiently among servers
- Intelligently harnesses server processing power to speed Web-enabled applications and e-commerce transaction response times
- Delivers a “bursting” capability
- Provides services on a usage basis – you only pay for what you use
- Saves you significant dollars when compared to a dedicated solution
