NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is critical for optimal performance
As more and more business today is conducted electronically, Network Time Protocol (NTP) has become a critical component of operational performance. NTP is the protocol used worldwide to ensure that all the clocks on a computer network - on servers, desktops and other hardware - are all synchronized to the same highly accurate time source. Failure to ensure accurate synchronization can create significant trouble for an organization, leading to failed transactions, lost data and poor network performance. With business success dependent upon ensure the success of electronic transactions, it's no wonder so many leading organizations have turned to Symmetricom for NTP systems to provide highly accurate and cost-efficient time synchronization products.
Symmetricom provides leading NTP solutions
Symmetricom provides many of the world's leading enterprises with the NTP systems that are critical to their success. Symmetricom's NTP time servers provide remarkable reliability and include NTP software to help synchronize, monitor and manage time on devices throughout a distributed network. Symmetricom's products are deployed by clients in nearly 100 countries worldwide and are especially critical in enterprise networking, telecommunications, defense and space applications, power utilities and broadcasting. Symmetricom's network time servers have set the standard for NTP synchronization solutions, and Symmetricom products continue to lead the industry in innovation. Symmetricom's current line of time servers are ready for Next Generation Networks and are among the most flexible and easy to manage products on the market. Symmetricom's SyncServers, for example, are designed to allow administrators to bring the time server online with just a few keystrokes. A highly intuitive web interface allows for remote access as well as easy and quick configuration and installation, with step-by-step wizards guiding the way on most common operations. And by combining multiple NTP port functionality with GPS timing receiver technology - at a reasonable cost - Symmetricom provides enterprises with a perfect solution for NTP needs.
The trouble with inadequate NTP timekeeping
If NTP is not properly synchronized throughout the enterprise, serious difficulties can arise. When time on data files is not accurately recorded, an older file can easily be written over a newer file resulting in data loss. Certain time-sensitive operations like billing and order processing can fail - these processes often require that a sequence of task be executed in a specific order on several computers or servers, and if timing on these devices is not synchronized, that sequence can be corrupted. The solution to avoiding these risks is simple - a highly accurate and cost-efficient time server from Symmetricom.
