Time synchronization has always been an issue for computer systems, but it is even more critical today because of the increasing number of distributed applications being deployed, not only on HP Integrity NonStop servers but also in hybrid environments. Without effective system clock synchronization, it quickly becomes impossible to correlate data from multiple system sources, which in turn makes it extremely difficult to understand transaction flow, pinpoint bottlenecks, and resolve problems.
Synchronizes clocks between NonStop, Linux, and Microsoft® Windows® systems, as well as NTP sources
HP NonStop Time Synchronization addresses these issues by providing a robust and reliable mechanism for maintaining synchronization between system clocks in your enterprise network. NonStop Time Synchronization provides a low-cost solution to your time synchronization needs for many types of Integrity NonStop server configurations. Available for NonStop Integrity, NonStop S-series, Linux, and Microsoft® Windows® systems, this package allows you to choose a time source and keep your system clocks synchronized throughout your business.
- Synchronizes clocks between systems automatically in a cluster or network; requires no user intervention to invoke synchronization
- Supports NTP time sources in addition to NonStop Time Synchronization servers
- Helps ensure that time updates occur safely on all platforms, and prevents time from moving backward unless it is configured to do so
- Provides configurable offset for system clocks not kept in GMT or UTC
