Stratum 1
Stratum 1 NTP time servers provide superior network timekeeping
Keeping accurate network time must be a high priority for the enterprise today. The speed of business computing is constantly increasing, and organizations must take steps to ensure that business viability is not hampered by poor timekeeping. A Stratum 1 NTP time server provides an effective and cost-efficient solution. A Stratum 1 time server is an appliance that derives reliable UTC time from a Stratum 0 time source such as a GPS clock. A Stratum 1 server allows companies to coordinate time on the many servers, desktops and appliances on a network, protecting the organization against security breaches, data loss, operational failure, legal liability as well as the lack of credibility that these threats can bring about. For leading Stratum 1 NTP time servers, enterprises around the world have chosen products from Symmetricom.

The dangers of working without a Stratum 1 time server
When an organization lacks an accurate and reliable NTP time server, the results can be disastrous. Data can be lost during scheduled backups as older files may be inadvertently written over newer ones. Operational processes that rely on a strict chronology of events may fail. Security can be hampered if inaccuracy in log files prevents administrators from tracking and thwarting malicious threats. And legal trouble may arise when the accuracy on the timing of transactions or digital signatures is called into question.
Fortunately, these issues are easily solved with a Stratum 1 NTP time server from Symmetricom.
