TimeKeeper™ Complete Solution

TimeKeeper technology can manage, instrument, and document clock sychronization from the satellite receiver or other primary time source to the application server and appliction software. No matter how good clocks are on a GPS device or in the data center or even on a network card, the quality and reliability of time in the software application is what matters and that is what TimeKeeper delivers.

• TimeKeeper Client Software runs transparently in the application server and TimeKeeper Server Software manages the network and delivery of time.
• TimeKeeper Compliance provides archiving, reporting, and querying capabilities.
• TK Grand Master Appliances bring in time from satellite or other sources and provide fail-over and holdover.

Each component works seamlessly with both TimeKeeper and other time synchronization devices and programs using standard protocols and intelligent adaption. And all of it is managed, displayed graphically, and analyzed by TimeKeeper Management.

FSMLabs has a complete solution for any time synchronization requirement from full design of world-wide time distribution to a collection of virtual machines. We can provide the technology and advice needed for upgrading a critical network of machines for high frequency trading or finding low cost, low disruption path to upgrade a worldwide network.

TimeKeeper® Client has a unique capability to monitor multiple sources, cross-check, and automatically failover. Both the ubiquitous Network Time Protocol (NTP) and the newer IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) are supported and can be mixed as appropriate for the network. Sub-microsecond precision time accuracy can be achieved with both protocols. The PTP Telecom Profile is supported as well. TimeKeeper Client will actively cross check multiple sources and will detect and respond to time source errors. Logs comparing time from multiple sources are kept, providing an auditable trace - both for forensic and regulatory purposes.

TimeKeeper Client can be configured and managed quickly and easily, without specialized time synchronization skills. Connecting a client to multiple sources, both PTP and NTP, is a matter of a few mouse clicks, or a few lines of clear configuration commands, or simply deploying with a managed TimeKeeper image.

A powerful and intuitive web management platform gives users and administrators insight into how well the system is working and what the surrounding time network looks like. No additional hardware is needed, but TimeKeeper will automatically make use of hardware timestamp capable hardware if present.
