With nearly 1,400 customers in 10 datacenters across the US and UK, NaviSite expanded its virtualization platform to meet the growing infrastructure demands of its customers, while delivering industry-leading performance and availability.

With Oracle, NaviSite has improved the flexibility of its service offerings, decreased the time to provision the computing platform for managed applications and gained the ability to scale application environments as business grows.

Typically, customers benefit from at least a 20 percent cost reduction, higher application availability and 20 percent better application performance all while lowering IT costs — when compared to managing their applications internally or outsourcing to another provider.
