Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol is essential for the competitive enterprise
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the system used today by most computers and networks to provide accurate timekeeping on IT networks. Internal clocks on desktops and servers are notoriously inaccurate, and in order to achieve optimal operational performance, these devices must be synchronized in order to communicate effectively internally and externally. As more and more business transactions and communications are conducted electronically, the importance of the Network Time Protocol has grown - without this critical protocol, organizations can experience data loss, operational failure, legal liability, loss of availability and, ultimately, loss of competitiveness in the marketplace. When leading enterprises today seek superior Network Time Protocol solutions for synchronizing their networks, they turn to Symmetricom.

A Network Time Protocol system provides enhanced security
With a Network Time Protocol solution from Symmetricom, organizations can significantly increase the security of their network. Because they are so accurate, Symmetricom time servers can reside behind the firewall, synchronizing with external sources on a much more limited basis. This eliminates the need to leave open a firewall port to receive time packets, which can be hacked into. A Symmetricom time server also provides highly accurate time stamps for log files. This is critical to quickly tracking security breaches and taking steps to prevent future abuses. And all Symmetricom network time servers deploy NTP 4.0, the same protocol used by companies to synchronize the time on their Web site servers, credit card information and other time sensitive data during transmission.
