Keysight to partner with FSMLabs to offer TimeKeeper platform

Keysight Technologies Inc. has reportedly collaborated with FSMLabs to offer TimeKeeper, a platform that delivers enterprise-class time distribution, clock synchronization, and monitoring to extend management and monitoring of time-critical devices, applications, and infrastructure.

Cort Dougan, the Chief Executive Officer of FSMLabs has stated that the collaboration with Keysight expedites the rollout of the company’s enterprise-class time distribution and clock sync platform TimeKeeper. He added that FSMLabs’ expertise in time sync technologies along with the superior global support and sales of Keysight helps this distinct technology reach a wider audience, providing customers of Keysight access to advanced time sync abilities for time-crucial applications.

Areg Alimian, the Senior Director of Product Management at Keysight quoted that the inclusion of TimeKeeper reinforces the company’s market leadership in latency simulation and time synchronization in crucial sectors like financial services.

Alimian added that the Timekeeper platform allows the company to offer its customers a single tool for time measurement, to minimize regulatory risk where management, regulatory compliance, and reporting of their timing infrastructure is important to their success.

TimeKeeper, available as a SaaS (software as a service), offers the portfolio of Keysight to add latency analytics as well as time accuracy testing for the following solutions:

• Network Emulator: Emulates realistic network conditions in the laboratory at speeds ranging from 1Gbps (Gigabit per second) to 100Gbps and allows uses to precisely test application performance owing to network delays.
• TradeVision: A market data and network analytics solution that enables users to monitor real-time latency in global trading infrastructure and enhance trading application performance.
• IxNetwork: A solution for network infrastructure performance that allows users to test the accuracy, scalability, failure recovery as well as correction algorithms for IEEE 1588v2 PTP boundary and transparent clocks.
• Metronome Timing System: An expansive time distribution platform that provides time-sync testing of time-sensitive applications as well as distributed, complex networks.

Synchronized and precise time is crucial in government, enterprise, and key infrastructure applications. Organizations functioning in highly regulated environments like financial trading and banking need timestamps with microsecond precision.
