Latency Comparison: Speed is Everything

Lower latency = faster work = higher productivity

🏆 FASTEST

Fastnode

2-5ms

Dutch Hosting

Amsterdam & Rotterdam data centers provide ultra-low latency from the Netherlands. Works as if you were sitting behind your own PC!

Azure AVD

15-30ms

Ireland / Germany

Azure servers are located in Dublin or Frankfurt. Extra data travel time means noticeable delays when typing, clicking and scrolling.

Citrix Cloud

20-40ms

United Kingdom

Citrix Cloud often runs from UK data centers. Post-Brexit routing and Brexit issues make it even slower.

💡 What does 2-5ms mean in practice?

What Makes Fastnode So Fast?

🇳🇱

Dutch Hosting

Amsterdam & Rotterdam data centers mean short distance between you and the server. The closer you are, the faster the connection.

Azure in Ireland: 500km away
Fastnode in Amsterdam: 20km away

💾

NVMe SSD Storage

10x faster than regular SSD, 100x faster than HDD. Applications start in seconds, not minutes.

Read: 7,000 MB/s
Write: 5,000 MB/s
IOPS: 1,000,000+

🌐

10Gbps Network

10 Gigabit network connections per server. No congestion, no waiting times when downloading or uploading files.

Download: Up to 1.25 GB/s
Upload: Up to 1.25 GB/s

⚙️

Dedicated Resources

No shared hosting. Your CPU and RAM are yours alone. No "noisy neighbors" to slow down the server.

2-8 vCPU per user
4-32GB RAM per user

🔧

Optimized OS

Windows optimized for speed. Unnecessary services disabled, registry optimized, startup accelerated.

Boot time: < 10 seconds
Login time: < 5 seconds

🚀

Direct Peering

Direct peering with Dutch providers. Data does not have to go via foreign hubs. Shortest route = fastest connection.

For comparison: Azure AVD and Citrix are on average 3-5x slower when launching applications due to higher latency and slower storage.

Real-World Use Cases: When Speed Is Essential

✏️ CAD/Design Work

AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Adobe Creative Suite - these programs require real-time responsiveness. 30ms latency makes drawing and editing impossible. With Fastnode's 2-5ms you work as if the application was running locally.

💬 Video Conferencing

Teams, Zoom, Google Meet - video calls are extremely latency-sensitive. High latency means delayed audio and frozen video. Fastnode guarantees smooth video calls without stuttering.

📊Data Analysis

Power BI, Tableau, large Excel sheets - data visualization tools need fast I/O. NVMe SSD + low latency means instant graphs and dashboards, no waiting for minutes.

💻Software Development

Visual Studio, IntelliJ, compiling code - developers don't have time for slow IDEs. Fastnode's speed means faster compile times and instant code completion.

⏱️ Time is Money: The ROI of Speed

An employee who works 8 hours a day will lose on average with a slow Virtual Desktop (Azure/Citrix):

With 50 employees: 3,250 hours/year lost = €130,000 in labor costs!
Fastnode's speed saves you tens of thousands of euros per year.
