CMP Information (CMPi), a publisher owned by United Business Media Plc,
has signed a five year deal with SAVVIS Inc (NASDAQ:SVVS), a provider
of IT infrastructure services for business applications, to enable more

systems, and will provide managed hosting for several of CMPi's
websites on its managed utility blade platform. In addition, SAVVIS
