NTP Server

Authoritative network time for infrastructure that depends on it.

A network time server that provides a synchronised, authoritative time source to equipment across a network, built on the same SPIDEX engineering and management foundation as the rest of the platform.

The problem

Why it exists

Logs, transactions, control decisions and audit trails are only comparable if the clocks behind them agree. Public time sources are not always reachable, permitted or trustworthy inside an operational network.

Key capabilities
  • ·Authoritative NTP time distribution
  • ·Local reference for isolated networks
  • ·Service health and status reporting
  • ·Managed configuration
Interfaces
EthernetTime reference input
Deployment

Rack-mounted within the network it serves.

Security
  • · Access-controlled configuration
  • · Authenticated management interface
  • · Signed firmware images
Platform integration

How it fits the stack

L2 · C3F

Device services, diagnostics and lifecycle follow the same C3F model as the wider platform.

L4 · SPIEngine

Health and configuration are visible in the console alongside the rest of the estate.

Evaluating NTP Server?

Ask for the current datasheet, lead time and integration detail. Anything not yet verified will be identified as such.
