Synchronization Solution For Cloud Networks

Create a virtual synchronization network to secure accurate time independent of GNSS/GPS

Home » 5G Home » Critical Networks » Cloud Networks

OVERVIEW

Connect your datacenters in a virtual time net to provide accurate time independent of GNSS/GPS

Enterprise infrastructure is rapidly moving towards cloud distributed application delivery and this changes the way infrastructures are built. Accurate time is critical in datacentre environments and requirements are depending on industry use cases and applications. Many cloud-based services within the financial, broadcast, ORAN, VR/Meta and gaming industries require highly accurate time within and between datacentres. This opens new business opportunities that require secure and reliable time synchronization for thousands of servers within the datacentre environment which is a major challenge to existing solutions such as GNSS/GPS.

Other key challenges are to connect data centres in different locations over global infrastructures and keep accurate time seamless and traceable in the entire interconnected environment. The main synchronization solutions being used today is PTP and GNSS/GPS, both with their individual limitations when it comes to security, reliability, and scalability.

CHALLENGES

Top 3 synchronization priorities for cloud networks we support you with

Secure accurate time to all datacenters

A great challenge is to secure accurate time at each of these datacenters to provide a real-time service experience for the users. GNSS/GPS is vulnerable to spoofing and jamming and therefore not suitable as the only time assurance in critical network environments. Especially when it comes to real-time critical services and applications with high requirements of accurate time availability. on time accuracy.

Seamless scalability without compromising on time accuracy

Through a virtual accurate time-network approach, new datacenters are seamlessly added to the network, and will immediately receive the same accurate time that is present everywhere all the time. Distribution of accurate time works independent of network capacity and network layers which enables timing to grow and develop without any impact from the network components.

Enable DCPS and datacenters to provide Time-as-a-Service (TaaS)

An increasing number of industries and applications require real-time critical, cloud-based data including very precise time. This open up for datacenters and DCPs to provide Time-as-a-Service, both within the datacenters and at the customer edge.
End customers are connected over open IP networks or through dedicated wavelengths requiring a flexible and open synchronization solution.

OUR SOLUTION

Connect your datacenters and virtual environments over wide area networks independent of GNSS/GPS to secure accurate time on a global level

The only futureproof approach to connecting these time critical datacenters with seamless scalability is through an open and disaggregated synchronization solution that is independent of GNSS/GPS and the underlying network architecture.
