SAVVIS Inc., a provider of IT infrastructure services for business applications, has formed an agreement with Ellie Mae, a provider of software and services for the mortgage industry. Under the terms of the agreement, Ellie Mae will relocate and consolidate its U.S.-based IT infrastructure into two SAVVIS data centers in Santa Clara, Calif., and Chicago, leveraging a single-vendor environment to enhance connectivity between its redundant data centers.
Using SAVVIS' IT infrastructure, Ellie Mae will deploy its web-based business services, including popular Encompass Mortgage Management Solution, with greater efficiency and at lower cost, according to the companies. The solution will feature SAVVIS' Application Transport Network, which is integrated with most of its 29 data centers worldwide and further virtualizes and optimizes the delivery of enterprise applications.
‘SAVVIS' global IT services platform has allowed us to consolidate and simplify our infrastructure by providing us with a streamlined and unified environment that not only synchronizes data more efficiently, but also offers a more consistent operation. At the same time, we continue to drive toward a greener data center,’ says Jonathan Corr, chief strategy officer of Ellie Mae. ‘SAVVIS' carrier-grade IT services will improve the performance of the Encompass mortgage services applications, and our customers will get higher reliability and redundancy as a result.’
