TimeKeeper Client Clock Sync Software

 

TimeKeeper Client is a fault-tolerant network clock sync software system for enterprise or other “must work” applications. TimeKeeper Client synchronizes clocks on Linux, Windows, and Solaris application servers and virtual machines to multiple NTP/PTP feeds over the network at up to sub-microsecond precision. TimeKeeper Client seamlessly upgrades legacy NTP infrastructure with leading-edge NTP/PTP precision at the lowest TCO, while automatically exploiting available hardware-assisted timestamping for enhanced time precision. TimeKeeper performance exceeds many regulatory requirements, including MiFID II, RTS-25, FINRA, CAT, PSD2, and UTC traceability.

 

BENEFITS

 

•Lowest cost to upgrade legacy NTP infrastructure with high-precision NTP/PTP clock sync solution

•Secure, trusted, UTCtraceable enterprise clock sync 

•Smart monitoring with automatic failover and alerting for high-reliability clock sync •Lowest TCO across multiple Linux, Windows, and Solaris servers 

•Scalable in the cloud, on servers, and on VMs, without affecting clock sync

 

How The Patented Multisource timeKeeper Works

 

The TimeIQ™ technology is a patented, machine learning based clock modeling system, achieving unprecedented NTP/PTP accuracy, rejecting bad time, and assuring security.

 

TrustedTime multisource failover

TimeKeeper Client can receive time from any number of sources over any mix of NTP and PTP protocols, and TrustedTime automatically initiates failover when a clock source becomes unreliable, disabled, or broken in the clock sync chain.

 

SourceCheck

 

This smart feature monitors time performance to discover and reject compromised time sources, such as errors, attacks, and faults, and to verify and validate reliable time.

 

Time quality graphs

 

This analytic tool graphs the UTC-traceable time and frequency accuracy of multiple sources in real-time to provide IT staff with actionable data about clock source reliability and performance, including one-way delay and round-trip time.

 

TimeMap

 

This powerful tool visually displays the topology of the enterprise network clock sync of time feeds from multi-vendor time servers, including the TimeKeeper Server, either as time server or boundary clock software. Users can view or diagnose the time source profile of each TimeMap node (IP, hostname, MAC, accuracy, and more).

 

FEATURES

 

•Uses patented TimeIQ, with SourceCheck that verifies, validates, and cross-checks time sources 

•Provides TimeMap tool to display the enterprise clock sync chain topology

•TrustedTime detects complex clock sync deficiencies such as asymmetry, delay, and broken link and self-heals the enterprise clock sync chain

•Comes with a web management dashboard for performance graphs, configuration, monitoring, alerts, UTC traceability, audit logs, admin, and more  

•Exploits hardware-assisted timestamping devices, such as Mellanox, Solarflare, Intel, and Broadcom, for enhanced NTP/PTP precision

 

Web Management Dashboard

 

TimeKeeper Client is designed with an intuitive web management dashboard, providing comprehensive user control features such as installation, configuration, performance monitoring/analytics, alert notification, fault logs, support, administration, and more. TimeKeeper Client settings can be changed without affecting the clock sync operation.
