Time Synchronization

Time synchronization is an essential element for any organization that relies on an IT system or enterprise. The reason for this is that these systems all have clocks that are the source of time for files or operations they handle. Most of these organizations mistakenly assume that the time synchronization in their computers is inherently accurate. Without time synchronization, time on these systems varies with each other or with the correct time and this can cause, data to be lost, processes to fail, security to be compromised, and increase in legal exposure. Without synchronized time organizations can lose credibility with customers and business partners. With speed, memory and capability of computers increasing at an exponential rate, the accuracy, precision and synchronization of time is essential for high quality operations.

Symmetricom’s time synchronization products provide automated time distribution solutions to accurately and consistently set time on enterprise servers and desktops. These time synchronization products provide critical support to the integrity of a business. These time synchronization products ensure that IT operations can effectively and systematically manage the setting of time on their domain of systems.

The Importance of Time Synchronization
A time bomb is ticking away in the heart of most IT infrastructures that do not have accurate and secure time synchronization. This is the same infrastructure on which organizations depend to produce products, buy from suppliers, sell to customers, prepare financial reports, and communicate both internally and externally — in short to do all the things modern organizations do.

Because most people mistakenly assume that computer clocks are inherently accurate, this time bomb is allowed to exist. They also don’t fully appreciate the consequences of making computers interdependent when the clocks in these computers don’t agree. Finally, they don’t realize that solutions to the network time synchronization issues are inexpensive and easy to implement.

Time synchronization solutions are called time servers, and can cost between $5,000 - $10,000. Time synchronization servers can support a network consisting of thousands of computers. These time synchronization servers are also virtually self-administering. In other words, there is absolutely no reason why a time bomb should exist in any company’s operations.
