The global marketplace relies on time synchronization
As business has transitioned from a paper-based system to an electronic one, the importance of time synchronization has grown immensely. With more and more transactions conducted over IT networks and the Internet, and with the speed of business now determined in milliseconds, accurate time synchronization is a critical part of business success and competitiveness. Enterprise networks may be comprised of hundreds to thousands of desktops and servers, each with an internal clock. Unless these myriad of individual clocks are tightly synchronized to a highly accurate external source, the enterprise will experience severe challenges. Security breaches may be common. Data loss will be unavoidable. Critical operations will break down. Availability will be compromised. And worst of all, credibility with customers and partners will suffer. For this reason, when enterprises the world over require accurate and cost-effective time synchronization products, they choose products from Symmetricom.

With Symmetricom synchronization products, organizations have a highly accurate and cost-effective network timekeeping solution.

Insufficient time synchronization hampers competitiveness
When organizations do not adequately address time synchronization issues, the risks can be very damaging. Many critical operational processes are time-dependent - they require a specific series of steps to take place in a certain chronological sequence on multiple servers or devices. If these individual elements are not properly synchronized, the process chain may break down causing operational failure. Even discrepancies of a few milliseconds may trigger problems. Poor synchronization may also result in data loss when a backup operation overwrites a file with an older version of the file, because the time stamp for each file was not accurately issued.

Symmetricom provides easy solutions to mitigate these risks, however, and at highly cost-effective price points.
