KVH, a provider of internet access services, will construct a new high-capacity, high-speed fiber-optic backbone network in Japan, to match the growing need for multi-gigabit Ethernet services.
In the initial stage of development, construction of key access points of the network in the metropolitan region, such as the KVH Tokyo Data center, will be completed. The network, in the subsequent phases, will be extended to neighboring regions including Inzai, Kanagawa, and Yokohama.
KVH will provide high bandwidth Ethernet services of 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps with low latency and quicker delivery time, for service providers and enterprises. KVH will also unveil 10 Gbps and 4 Gbps Fiber Channel services in November. These services will allow real-time transfer of huge data volumes needed for Storage Area Networks (SAN) and disaster recovery.
The network of KVH will use a recently developed optical network architecture, which offers better network scalability, resilience, availability, and speed. The network will enable quicker provisioning of high-speed services such as 100 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet services. The network will also allow the company to better serve the cloud computing service providers by utilizing the service as a platform for linking various data centers.
