NTP

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard Internet Protocol (IP) for synchronizing the time of computer clocks over a network. The protocol can be used to coordinate the real time clocks of computers and networked devices to within a few milliseconds of UTC. NTP timestamps are transmitted and received using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) […]

A Stratum 1 Time Server is a network appliance that receives precise time from a hardware reference clock to provide a time resource to client computers. Network Time Protocol (NTP) implements a hierarchical system of time references. The stratum, or hierarchy level, represents the distance of a time server from the source reference clock. At […]

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a client-server protocol. A client computer periodically requests timing information from a NTP server. The server responds to requests with timing information that the client can then use for synchronization purposes. Most operating systems have built-in tools to allow computers to automatically synchronize their system clock. For most deployments, the […]

With an ever-increasing number of NTP servers becoming available with even more options, choosing the correct one for your organization can become bewildering. However, with a little thought about your requirements, it can become a very straightforward decision. Enclosure Format – Rack-Mountable, Desktop or DIN rail Mounting The first and possibly easiest choice to make […]
