	With PZF, it's almost as good as GPS.  See 
<http://www.meinberg.de/english/products/pzf509.htm>, 
<http://www.meinberg.de/english/products/lanpzf.htm>, and 
<http://www.meinberg.de/english/products/lanshs.htm>, for examples.

	I'm guessing that what they've done is take something like the 
LANTIME/SHS server (see 
<http://www.meinberg.de/english/products/lanshs.htm>) and put that 
into a blade configuration, and then plug sixteen of those into a 
blade chassis.
