Stratum 1 Time Servers

 

Stratum 1 time servers protect enterprises from timekeeping hazards
As the growth, dispersal and speed of computer networks continue to accelerate, the importance of high-quality time servers is ever greater. Stratum 1 time servers are network timekeeping appliances that are linked directly to a stratum 0 time source - a precisely accurate time reference. Superior time servers allow enterprises to accurately coordinate time among all of the servers, desktops and other devices on a network. When reliable time servers are not present on a network providing time synchronization, enterprises may encounter significant problems, including loss of data, failure of critical processes, impaired security and greater legal liability. For time servers that are cost-efficient, reliable and highly accurate, many of the world's largest enterprises have chosen products from Symmetricom.
