We are a leading provider of high quality, high performance global networking and Internet solutions to medium and large businesses, multinational corporations and Internet service providers. We currently offer a wide range of managed data network services, high bandwidth Internet access, virtual private networks, Internet security services and colocation services. The SAVVIS ProActive(SM) Network was created through the combination of the Bridge network, which was constructed to meet the exacting requirements of the financial services industry worldwide, and the SAVVIS network, which was constructed to provide high quality Internet access in the United States. Bridge utilizes the SAVVIS ProActive(SM) Network to deliver Bridge's content and applications to over 5,000 financial institutions, including 75 of the top 100 banks in the world and 45 of the top 50 brokerage firms in the United States. We provide services, through Bridge, to Chase Manhattan Bank and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and directly to approximately 700 customers, including ebay Inc., CDNow, Inc. and Sage Networks, Inc. The SAVVIS ProActive(SM) Network was constructed to meet the real-time data delivery requirements of the most demanding customers. Our network is one of the largest data networks in the world, has been operational since 1996 and has over 6,000 buildings on-net in 75 of the world's major commercial centers in 47 countries. We expect to be connected to 81 cities in 52 countries by the beginning of 2000. Our network architecture is based on asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, frame relay and Internet protocol, or IP, architectures. Additionally, our 75 city global system connects to eight PrivateNAPs(SM), which will be expanded to twelve by March 2000, allowing our global network to by-pass the congested public Internet access points. This network design enables us to provide real-time packet delivery and guarantee low latency and low packet loss. The network also allows us to tailor our service offerings to our customers' needs and to offer a range of quality of service levels. We are enhancing the capabilities of our network and the services which can be offered on it through the upgrade and expansion of our colocation facilities. During 2000, we expect to complete upgrades and construction of over 250,000 square feet of colocation space in eight U.S. cities and London. | ||||||||||||||
