What Is NTP? Network Time Protocol Explained
| By Daniel Waldron
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is one of the oldest parts of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) suites. NTP is a networking protocol used to synchronize the time on computer clocks in a network. Network Time Protocol is often underestimated, yet critical systems rely on it everyday. So, what is NTP?

What Time Server Do I Need For My Business?
| By Richard N Williams
A time server is a device that synchronises a computer network to a single master time source, so that all devices on that network are using the exact same time. Not only does a time server keep all devices on a network synchronised, but also it ensures that a computer network, no matter where it is in the world, is also synchronised to other computer networks, enabling trouble free communication.
What is NTP Time and How Does it Benefit Me?
| By Richard N Williams
Maintaining accurate and synchronised time has never been so important for businesses and organisations. In today’s world, where so many transactions take place online, having a synchronised and accurate network time is crucial for businesses, especially those organisations that conduct their business over the internet or with other computer networks.
Have the Olympics kept pace with precision timing?
| By Daniel Waldron
The accuracy of modern Olympic timing is made possible with the use of high quality timing devices, accurate synchronisation and atomic timing. Regular quartz oscillators are fairly accurate, but they still drift, which means without regular synchronisation, their accuracy would falter UY98UZDDVGGJ . To ensure all timing devices can achieve millisecond accuracy and precise synchronisation with one another, all Olympic timing devices are synchronised with GPS atomic clocks several times a day.
