SAVVIS(R) Expands ATN Network in California to Feature High Bandwidth, Optical Network Services From Infinera


SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) today announced that it has completed a high bandwidth, regional optical network in California for SAVVIS, Inc., a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications, which will augment its Application Transport Network (ATN) (announced separately on December 6, 2007) in California.

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, SAVVIS Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: SVVS) operates a global IT services platform and 29 data centers spanning North America, Europe and Asia. SAVVIS uses this infrastructure to deliver a wide variety of dedicated, managed and virtualized hosting, network and security services to its customers. SAVVIS' ATN, a Tier 1 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, enables SAVVIS to further virtualize and optimize the delivery of customer applications.

Driven by the performance requirements of customer applications hosted in its data centers, SAVVIS turned to Infinera to expand and enhance the flexibility of its California network capacity to meet customer expectations for reduced latency and increased bandwidth. SAVVIS will upgrade its California network to Infinera's new ILS2 line system, which becomes available this summer, to take advantage of the scalability, extended optical reach, and other advanced features in ILS2.

"In order to meet the demands of the market and our customers, we needed to enhance our network services in California with a highly scalable, technologically advanced optical transport network. Infinera has enabled SAVVIS to quickly install new network capacity, and with Infinera's world class capabilities we are able to grow our data centers and our business in an environmentally responsible manner," said Dennis Brouwer, Vice President of Network Business Line Management for SAVVIS.

Infinera's Digital Optical Networking system provides the flexibility and scalability that SAVVIS needs in California to accommodate the high-volume demand for bandwidth from its customers. With its digital architecture based on large-scale photonic integrated circuits, Infinera networks are very quick to install, turn up and configure. The Infinera deployment in California was installed and carrying traffic in just a few weeks. The flexibility of the Infinera system, with client-side modules that can be swapped in and out in a matter of minutes, enables SAVVIS to reconfigure the network very quickly. The Infinera DTN system offers integrated bandwidth management providing SAVVIS with enhanced flexibility and cost savings as compared to traditional DWDM systems. Infinera's photonic integrated circuits deliver space and power-saving efficiencies as compared to traditional systems which are based on discrete optical components.

"SAVVIS' advanced data centers play a key role in critical sectors of the economy such as the financial and Software-as-a-Service worlds, which require very large and flexible network resources, often with extremely tight tolerances on latency and performance. An Infinera Digital Optical Network is the ideal solution to support the SAVVIS network," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh.

The Infinera DTN is a Digital ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) for long-haul and metro core networks based on large-scale photonic integrated circuits, combining high-capacity DWDM transport, integrated digital bandwidth management, and GMPLS-powered service intelligence in a single platform.
