Users can choose from either the Standard Service or the Premium Service, both of which are charged at a fixed monthly fee. The Standard Service includes round trip latency measurement, network analysis, and online reports, while the Premium Service offers server process latency measurement, system optimization consulting, and customized reports.
With infrastructure that includes high-speed optical fiber networks and data centers located nearby major exchanges, KVH has developed a domestic and international proximity hosting environment that is optimized for executing ultra-low latency trading. With this expanded service, traders can now rely on KVH as a one-stop solution for the acquisition and installation of network and server equipment, post-installation management, and system optimization.
