Hi,
For many years we have run stratum 2 NTP servers on some of our mail
gateways. The primary purpose is to provide an NTP service to assorted
RFC1918 networks. We are planning to virtualise those mail gateways, and
so we need to find a new home for NTP. I am aware that we could purchase
dedicated GPS-based stratum 0/1 NTP servers, but I don't want the hassle
of getting a good GPS signal in to the heart of our data centres and our
time sync requirements aren't too tight. Before purchasing three
dedicated 1U servers which I plan to site at three different
(geographically close) campuses, I thought I'd ask if anyone has any
cheap/neat solutions which can support multiple NICs/VLANs and have a
generally drift-free clock. Bonus points for kit available off the shelf
in the UK. Apologies if my terminology offends any NTP gurus; hopefully
my requirements are clear.
I tend to like a 1U Mini-ITX box.
You can put together a kit from http://www.mini-itx.com/
I currently use an Atom based board.
