SAN FRANCISCO, CA., September 20, 2010 - Oracle OpenWorld 2010 -- NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a premier provider of enterprise-class hosting, managed application, managed messaging and managed cloud services, today announced that DAI has selected NaviSite's cloud-based Managed Application Services (MAS) to provide a fully managed and hosted solution for its Oracle E-Business suite applications. NaviSite will help DAI run more than 13 Oracle E-Business modules in a reliable, secure, highly-available environment, allowing the company to reduce demands on its own IT resources, mitigate risk and leverage cloud-enabled technologies to significantly lower total cost of ownership.

Its mission is to make a lasting difference in the world by helping developing nations become more prosperous, fairer and more just, cleaner, safer, healthier, more stable, more efficient, and better governed. Since 1970, DAI has worked in 150 developing and transition countries, providing development solutions in areas including democratic governance and public sector management; agriculture and agribusiness; private sector development and financial services; economics and trade; water and natural resources management; HIV/AIDS and avian influenza control; crisis mitigation and stability operations; and energy and climate change. Many of DAI's contracts are implemented in very challenging environments, including African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian countries emerging from political or military conflict.

To deliver superior service levels to its business and IT users, DAI will use all of the capabilities available from NaviSite's managed application services portfolio, including:

    * NaviCloud-Enabled Infrastructure -- a burstable, high-performance cloud computing platform with integrated Oracle RAC Database.
