Savtira Selects AboveNet to Provide High Bandwidth Connectivity for Global Network Operating Infrastructure

1. Savtira Selects AboveNet to Provide High Bandwidth Connectivity for Global Network
Operating Infrastructure
TAMPA, Fla. (October 3, 2011) – Telecommunication technology has come a long way since the dial-up days when
sitting in front of a computer and waiting patiently as the Internet connected and files downloaded wasn’t anything
unusual. Now, waiting more than a few seconds for any computer processing can send a tranquil person into a fury. High
bandwidth connectivity solutions are not only a luxury for everyday end-users but a must for industry tech firms like
Savtira Corporation, a new provider of B2B Cloud Commerce solutions.
Savtira selected AboveNet, Inc. (NYSE: ABVT) to provide the high bandwidth network in key domestic and international
markets including New York, Chicago, London and Amsterdam.
“For Savtira, high-speed, low-latency data transmission and connectivity is the muscle behind the services our company
provides on a business-to-business basis. AboveNet was our premier choice in providing a private fiber metro network
that includes high security protection when dealing with implementing payment transactions or internal publishing that
needs encryption,” says Michael Avina, Savtira’s chief technology officer. “With AboveNet, we know we will be able to
offer high-quality streaming with our IPTV and live broadcasting capabilities.”
Savtira is a developing software-as-a-service Cloud Commerce solutions company with a platform that uses e-commerce
to sell both physical and digital goods using one unified shopping cart for convenient user transactions. The company
creates custom-branded eStores for clients (retailers or other businesses) and grants those clients the option to access
Savtira’s catalog.
The catalog contains millions of digital titles (movies, music, games, software, audio/e-books) and thousands of physical
goods, but the bandwidth truly comes into play with the streaming capabilities Savtira will offer its clients. Savtira is also in
the process of building the next carrier-class “Entertainment Distribution Network” (EDN) that streams all digital media
from the cloud to any device. All types of software and digital media will be available to consumers on a rental or
subscription basis. No download or installation will be necessary. Consumers will have the ability to pause media on one
device and resume it on another. All data and configuration is stored within the cloud.
“Savtira is servicing a global e-commerce marketplace that needs the proper bandwidth infrastructure to be successful
with their leading-edge cloud services,” said Bill LaPerch, president and chief executive officer of AboveNet. “We are very
pleased to have been selected by Savtira to provide that high bandwidth, low latency infrastructure. I believe this
partnership will provide customers with a differentiated cloud-based service that will be very successful in the
marketplace.”
AboveNet provides a complete portfolio of metro Ethernet, WDM, Long Haul and IP transit services. AboveNet’s IP POP
(point-of-presence) enables AboveNet to deliver Tier 1 IP transit, which is critical for fast-speed delivery. AboveNet is
providing Savtira 10Gpbs Ethernet lines with the ability to add more centers as the company expands.

2. Savtira’s enterprise and carrier customers also can benefit from AboveNet’s world-class fiber optic network in both the
U.S and Europe, with connections to buildings containing more than 450 data centers. Its infrastructure includes more
than 2.3 million fiber miles, an intercity network spanning approximately 13,000 route miles and a global Tier 1 IP
backbone.
Savtira also took into account AboveNet’s network reach, which spans to key cities like New York City, Boston, Chicago,
Washington, Atlanta, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin. AboveNet also serves international markets in
London, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
