Domain Time II Synchronisation Software

Product Information

Comprehensive Windows-Based NTP/PTP Solution

Domain Time II is a comprehensive software solution from Microchip that simplifies NTP/PTP time synchronisation across servers, workstations, and Windows networks.

Versatile, high-accuracy time clients keep the network hierarchy synchronised to a GNSS referenced network time server. Easy to use management tools simplify and automate many tasks related to keeping these clients up to date and monitoring functions track time client sync across the network notifying you of any problems.

The result is a reliable time synchronisation system that requires little management overhead and offers tremendous value to the integrity of network operations and applications.

Manageability

Superior management tools enable the software to completely control your entire network time system from a single workstation thereby saving you time and effort. You can install, update, configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and track licensing of Domain Time II enterprise wide.

Accuracy

Used in conjunction with a Microchip network time server, the software provides a variety of features to ensure the accurate delivery of time including:

• High accuracy time protocols
• Time source averaging
• Clock training
• Slewing
• Target seeking
• An efficient time cascade update hierarchy

Reliability

Providing the reliability demanded by today’s networks, the software servers automatically take over for each other when one becomes unavailable and clients automatically find alternate time servers if there is a failure. This makes the time distribution hierarchy highly relaible.

Security

Provides built-in protection against malicious or inadvertent tampering with the time on your network.

Verifiability

Incorporates and tracks multiple types of time related data that verify exactly who synchronised from whom, when, and what were the actual adjustments were. This information can be collected remotely by the management tools to provide indisputable audit records of time synchronisation across your enterprise.

Interoperability

Supports NTP, IEEE 1588-2008/PTP (Default Profile) and Domain Time II protocols to meet your synchronisation requirements. Flexibility in client configuration allows for mixed protocol networks to achieve the best synchronisation and management performance to meet your sync objectives.

Key Benefits

• Precisely synchronise time for mission-critical network operations and applications
• Monitor network synchronisation and be alerted when synchronisation is outside your specification
• Hold network time accuracy within specified limits
• Reduce or eliminate costs involved in installing and managing time synchronisation across a network
