Softros Systems, Inc. introduces Network Time System, a powerful client\server time synchronization
utility that protects system time integrity and smooth flow of
time-dependent processes by allowing fast and accurate synchronization of
system times across entire networks.

Exact time is very important, especially in today's international and
electronic environment. However, any one single time source is not always
enough to make sure users have the correct time. Clocks go faster or
slower over time, batteries and power sources go dead, or important time
changes, such as daylight saving, can be forgotten. Getting the time
wrong, by minutes, seconds or even fraction of seconds, results in
critical problems. Imagine the havoc caused by errors when automated tasks
go haywire between different systems with time conflicts; discrepancies in
records when transaction times fail to tally due to time differences, and
financial accounting errors and database errors due to mismatched
timestamps. Administrators can of course manually check the time on
internal system clocks, but this is a difficult task, especially when
multiple systems are involved, and still leaves much room for
error.
Softros System, Inc.'s Network Time
Server software provides the solution to system time maintenance
problems. This powerful client/server time system lets users set up a
virtually failsafe synchronized time environment for networks of any size
and complexity, from small office networks to huge enterprise networks. It
does this by simultaneously checking up to 3 external time sources to
verify the accuracy of the network time. External time sources can include
Internet time servers or even reliable local time sources such as GPS or
clock cards. The verified time is then synchronized across all client
machines across the network through the enterprise network time server.
Fast and accurate synchronization is ensured by advanced features such as
high-speed network protocols and precise speed-factored time analysis, as
well as its Network Time System's unique protocols and expandable
architecture.
Network Time System does not sacrifice security or flexibility to provide
accurate and powerful network time
sync to networks. A powerful encryption system and a built in firewall
guarantees the security of the server. The option to limit access to the
time server by network or IP address is also available. Network Time
System's highly flexible and scalable architecture allows it to be
customized to the user's unique needs. Network Time System gives users the
option to set up multiple Network Time Servers on
the network, so that even if one server fails, there are always other
backups on standby.
