Korusys Ltd: Products

Korusys are developing a range of Network Synchronisation products aimed at bringing telecom quality synchronisation to the Financial, Telecom, Test and Measurement and Industrial marketplaces.

First in the range is the PrecisionPTP PCI card, a highly accurate IEEE1588-2008 PCI node capable of delivering telecoms quality synchronisation within a PC based system or as a standalone OEM module.

The second released product is the Korusync PTP PCIe card, bringing telecoms quality synchronisation to the financial infrastructure market. It is delivered with a daemon that delivers the card's time, highly accurately, into the Linux system. Further software applications are available with the card including

AppClock : A software app that provides ultra low latency access to super-accurate time by replacing the heavyweight Linux system clock with a lightweight, scalable and nanosecond accurate software clock.

AppTrack : A software app that allows the user to provide super-accurate timestamps to events inside the user application space and to have these forwarded and logged in an ultra lightweight manner. It allows visibility of intra core transactions at the software level to help tune and monitor the performance of Trading algorithms.

To be released in late 2011 is a PTP/NTP Grand Master with some exciting additional features specifically for the Financial sector.

Korusync PTP PCIe Card

The Korusys Korusync PCIe Card delivers class leading accurate time to Servers via the IEEE 1588-2008 protocol. The system has been developed specifically for the financial infrastructure market space.

The system includes the Timing Toolkit suite of software : Korusyncd : A daemon that allows the server system clock to disciplined to within 10's of ns of UTC

AppClock : Provides a super lightweight and highly accurate replacement for the linux system clock. Now your applications can read time accurately and without degrading algorithm performance.

AppTrack : Provides a lightweight API logging function to provide accurately timed logs of internal software trading transactions. Now you have the ability to timestamp and record intra-core process transactions without affecting your system performance.

Further details of the application of this technology to the High Frequency Trading financial infrastructure can be found in the White Papers and the associated Product Brief and DataSheet. Alternatively, please visit our resellers website -> Chronos Technology

Korusys PrecisionPTP IEEE1588-2008 PCI/OEM Card

The Korusys PrecisionPTP PCI/OEM Card is a standard PCI card with the ability to deliver highly accurate time and synchronisation via the IEEE 1588-2008 protocol.

The unique characteristic of the Precision PTP card is its excellent synchronisation performance over a wide variety of networks and network loading conditions. Uniquely its has passed the stringent performance requirements of the G.8261 Telecom Synchronisation standard.

If the performance of your application is directly affected by the accuracy of the synchronisation then PrecisionPTP is the solution.
