Save time and deployment costs with Equinix Precision Time built around Precision Time Protocol. It brings precise timing to the management and maintenance of GPS antennas, receivers, grandmaster clocks and time servers for distributed enterprise systems – including high performance timing (NS) – without using Equinix Fabric®.
Enables high-frequency trading platforms to maintain exceedingly precise, secure timing (in the order of ns, single-digit μs) to ensure an ordered sequence of transactions.
Online streaming services, programmatic advertising and gaming companies can maintain accuracy by preventing 'lip-sync' errors and ensure chronological order of play in multi-player games.
A narrow drift offset is needed for distributed transactional apps/DBs, accurate ordering of logs, preventing online attacks (sequence of events).
Equinix manages and maintains GPS antennas timing, receivers, grandmaster clocks and time servers – reducing effort spent on precise timekeeping through PTP network services.
Predictable time synchronisation with PTP accuracy of up to 50 microseconds.
Choose between Precision Time Protocol (PTP services) and Network Time Protocol (NTP services), enable automated provisioning of servers and leverage the Technical Documentation Centre for various methods of cascading time.
Available in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Brazil via Equinix Fabric.
