ART Card
Atomic Reference Timing Card for time servers and precise synchronization
The ART Card is the first Timing Card leveraging the small SWaP of the mR0-50 Rubidium oscillator on a PCle board.
The ART Card has been designed with scabilability, future-proofness and seamless integration in mind. Therefore it is fully open-source and operated by an hardware-agnostic monitoring and disciplining software stack.
The ART Card is a proven enabling solution to build your own high performance Network Time Server. It was developed in collaboration with Meta for the Open Compute Project.
The Open Compute Project (OCP) initiated the Time Appliances Project (TAP) dedicated to time in datacenters. This project aims to provide a platform to bring together, discuss, standardize and share technologies and solutions across industries.
TAP aims to support the development of a PTP profile for datacenter applications and datacenter network infrastructure. This profile will cover time-sensitive applications over OCP-compliant and PTP-aware networking infrastructure such as network switches, network clocks, network interface cards, timing modules & connectors, etc.
