“SAVVIS now holds the number two market share position among providers of IP VPN services in the US and has catapulted itself into the number two spot among hosting services providers.

Service providers that have the necessary technical and process skills can offer compelling services to organizations looking to make the most of the IT infrastructure they buy."
