KVH Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Richard Warley, hereinafter referred to as“KVH”) announced today that it will launch a new, highly reliable and flexible, dedicated service offering called “SmartGiga(TM) Leased Line Service” on November 22, 2010. Targeting financial services and service providers requiring high service quality, “Smart Giga(TM) Leased Line Service” will deliver multi-gigabit class connections with lower latency and faster delivery time through KVH’s new high-speed, high-capacity next generation optical fiber backbone network that was announced on October 27, 2010. The service will provide highly stable and secure point-to-point communication free of impact by other users’ traffic, offering dedicated bandwidth to the customer’s circuit as a basic leased line service feature.
With the spread of high frequency trading and cloud computing services, the need for high-speed, low latency transmission of large volumes of data between multiple data centers has increased sharply. In addition, customers have also come to require more flexible IT infrastructure, easily re-configurable to respond to changing market environments. To fulfill such needs, the new “Smart Giga(TM) Leased Line Services” will allow customers faster provisioning of high-reliability services as well as an upgradable service menu enabling easy scalability of services in accordance with the growth of business.
The service menu supports a variety of service protocols, including Ethernet and SONET/SDH interfaces as well as Fibre Channel for enterprise IT infrastructure. Other notable features of the Ethernet service menu include expanded standard functions supporting jumbo frames of up to 9,200 bytes and improved usability throughout all processes from implementation and installation to maintenance. All items on the service menu are delivered with industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for delivery time, fault handling and service availability to ensure the highest service quality.
KVH will continue to expand “SmartGiga(TM) Leased Line Services” with ultra high-speed services such as “40Gbps/100Gbps Ethernet” via its next generation network, supporting the comprehensive needs for enterprise IT infrastructures.
