Spectracom Launches Next-Generation Netclock® NTP Time Servers
New NTP time server product platform delivers IPv6 and other robust network protocols to improve security, management, and reliability
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK - Spectracom Corporation today announced the release and availability of its new, network-centric 9200 Series NetClock® NTP time servers. This product line transforms critical network operations with robust features for increased security, easy-to-use management tools, and reliable and accurate network time synchronization. The powerful 9200 Series represents a bold step forward in providing the enhanced design features of authentication, centralized logging, and enhanced security for synchronization of time-critical data.
As more devices interoperate throughout shared networks, a fundamental requirement for network administrators is to provide accurate, time-based records and secure data management to internal customers and outside agencies. Spectracom's next-generation time server products enable secure time-stamping of electronic transactions to new voice and video communications as well as ensure records accuracy-securely and safely across the enterprise from behind the edge firewall.
Simplicity of installation, ease of management, and reliable operation are critical for reducing the cost of network administration. According to Product Manager Jim Harney, "The new 9200 Series is a next-generation network appliance that supports the latest standards for centralized administration of user authentication and system logs while adding reliability and accuracy of the time synchronization application. We understand our customers' needs and designed this network appliance to make simple the transition to IPv6 and for reliably secure logs using synchronized time."
The 9200 Series leads the time server industry by being the only NTP server to receive IPv6 Phase 2 certification through the IPv6 READY program. Spectracom is one of nine companies in the United States to receive this certification for its products. Recently, a 9200 Series time server was used to synchronize one of the largest IPv6 networks as part of the University of New Hampshire's Moonv6 test event. Test and assessment analysis included IPv6 Security, Transition Mechanisms, IPv6 Routing, DHCPv6 and IPv6 Applications. The 9200 Series can operate on a mixed IPv4 and IPv6 network or on either network.
The 9200 Series consists of three models designed for customers' varied needs: the NetClock Models 9283 and 9289 and the Ethernet Time Server Model 9288. All models run on Linux v2.6 and feature the Apache web server. For detailed product specifications for each model, visit www.spectracomcorp.com/ntp-timeserver.
"We are thrilled to launch this powerful product platform. The 9200 Series represents a new era in time synchronization," said Al Olderstein, vice president, sales and marketing. "We listened carefully to our customer requests and integrated them into this innovative product, creating a synergistic link between customers' needs and evolving technology."
In addition to providing a feature-rich solution, the 9200 Series also boasts Spectracom's industry-leading five-year limited warranty.
