Symmetricom Announces High Performance GPS Network Time Servers for
Next Generation Networks
SyncServer S300/S350 NTP Time Servers Add Enhanced Security, Time
Source Redundancy and Gigabit Ethernet to Award-Winning SyncServer Series
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 14, 2007 --
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and
frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment and enable the
management of next generation networks, today announced its
high-performance Global Positioning System (GPS) network time servers,
the SyncServer® S300/S350. These ultra-precise
network time servers use the latest Network Time Protocol (NTP) to
synchronize time on servers, workstations and a variety of network
elements for expanding IT enterprises. In addition to building on the
feature set of their award-winning predecessors, the S300/S350 models
add faster NTP packet processing, enhanced security and time source
redundancy. The S300/S350 models also offer industry leading NTP
responsiveness with four time ports including Gigabit Ethernet for high
availability, security and throughput, supporting hundreds of thousands
of network clients while maintaining microsecond-caliber NTP timestamp
accuracy.
“Setting new standards for security,
reliability, redundancy and versatility in network time servers, the
SyncServer S300/S350 models continue the Symmetricom legacy of being the
best-in-class network time servers in the world,”
commented John Hirsekorn, vice president of sales and marketing at
Symmetricom. “Our newest time servers are the
result of requests directly from IT professionals and we have responded
with time source redundancy, enhanced security features and more than
double the NTP throughput of previous models.”
Accurately synchronized clocks are critical for network log file
accuracy, security, billing systems, electronic transactions, database
integrity, VoIP and many other next generation applications. The
SyncServer S300/S350 models include all the features of the SyncServer
S200/S250 and add:
-
Gigabit Ethernet Port in addition to three 10/100Base-T ports –
The four completely independent ports provide the flexibility needed
to easily adapt to different and changing network topologies and
security requirements.
-
RADIUS Authentication – For maximum
security and easy password management, particularly when there are
multiple administrators that need access to the servers.
-
Time Reference Security – To assure
access to accurate time beyond GPS, a back-up time reference to
national dial-up time services including NIST/ACTS Service is standard
and an AM radio to synchronize to national time broadcasts is optional.
-
Autokey – To assure both time packet
integrity and the time source, Autokey uses secure digital signatures
easily configured and managed through the excellent web interface.
-
Alarm Relays for Monitoring Systems –
In-depth internal monitoring, very flexible configurations and
external alarming.
-
Enhanced Options – Atomic clock
configurations with Symmetricom Rubidium oscillators, Low Frequency
Radio (DCF77/JJY/WWVB) and T1/E1 input/output reference.
“As network managers’
challenges continue to grow as a result of the demanding requirements of
the next generation network, Symmetricom continues to meet their
requirements with its latest network time servers,”
commented Jessy Cavazos, Industry Manager at Frost and Sullivan, a
leading market research company. “These
products are a result of years of accumulated knowledge and research,
which Symmetricom has gained as the outright market leader.”
“Symmetricom continues to build on the most
comprehensive network time servers we have ever used,”
commented Eiichi Mitsuda at Marubun Corporation, Japan's leading
electronics and electronic components distributor. “The
reliable and secure SyncServer S300/S350 models are essential network
time server solutions for those looking to upgrade network functionality
including NTP via a more modern network timing system. These will meet
the growing needs of our customers.”
Availability
The SyncServer S300/S350 models will be shipping in September 2007.
