GPS time server
A GPS time server delivers highly accurate network time
Accurate network timekeeping is a critical need for any enterprise, and a GPS time server delivers the most accurate time. As more and more business transactions are now electronic, the speed of business has increased to the point where milliseconds can determine the difference between profit and loss and between success and failure. Consequently, the more accurate the timekeeping, the more competitiveness an organization can be. A GPS time server helps synchronize time across a network with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by using the atomic clocks on board GPS satellites as its source. The result is highly accurate timekeeping and avoidance of a multitude of problems that arise when time is poorly kept. For the leading GPS time server solutions available today, consider products from Symmetricom.
Symmetricom GPS time server products lead the industry
As a provider of timekeeping solutions to customers in more than 90 countries, Symmetricom is the industry leader in the GPS time server market. Symmetricom offers a range of GPS server products, including the SyncServerŽ line of network time servers. The SyncServer is a high performance enterprise class Stratum 1 device that is ready for Next Generation Networks as well as IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Using an integrated 12-channel GPS receiver, the SyncServer time servers can track every visible satellite to maintain remarkably accurate and reliable time. A unique feature of the SyncServer are multiple dedicated and isolated 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports for serving NTP, each with its own Ethernet processor. Multiple ports offer additional flexibility for a variety of network topologies as well as enhanced security. While one port can be used for secure control functions and maintenance, the other two can be used for timing functions. And a high-speed processor and nanosecond clock deliver high bandwidth performance for hundreds of thousands of network clients. Some SyncServerŽ models have additional inputs and outputs in order to sync with IRIG-B, 1 PPS and 10 MHz references as well.
Life without a GPS time server
Without a GPS time server, organizations may suffer from a variety of operational and data failures. Certain processes require extremely tight timekeeping in order to control a sequence of events across multiple servers, and if the timing on those individual devices is not accurate, the operation can shut down. Inaccurate timekeeping may also be responsible for loss of data during backup, when an old file may be accidentally written over a newer version that has an inaccurate time stamp. That's why competitive enterprises everywhere rely on superior timekeeping products from Symmetricom.
