Mass adoption of cloud-based services is driving phenomenal data center growth. The boom in hyperscale facilities means that these enormous data centers will soon be processing two thirds of the world’s data. For internet content providers (ICPs), advanced timing solutions have become essential for synchronizing globally dispersed data bases interconnected by vast, widely-distributed data center interconnect (DCI) networks. Tight synchronization is vital to maintain data consistency and maximize the performance of global data base applications.

With increased adoption of globally dispersed data base applications, ICPs urgently need to harness the performance gains offered by the latest synchronization innovation. They require technology that ensures a phenomenally low slip rate. That means harnessing a primary reference time clock (PRTC) capable of generating timing information with an unprecedented level of accuracy at all times. Our synchronization technology portfolio meets this need for ultra-precise reference signals and offers the most cost-effective and compact designs on the market.

Our OSA 3230B atomic clock provides accuracy better than ±1 x 10-12 over its entire lifetime, ensuring the precision and stability ICPs need to maximize performance and consistency. With its long-life cesium tube and superb flexibility, the OSA 3230B is ideal for mission-critical data center synchronization. What’s more, deployed as part of our enhanced primary reference time clock (ePRTC) solution, it meets much more stringent ITU-T G.8722.1 requirements, including maintaining sub-nanosecond time deviation for at least 10,000 seconds and delivers the necessary immunity against GNSS outages.
