Network Time Systems for 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP. (Network News).Network Time Systems, from Softros Systems, Inc. is a time synchronization See real time clock, UTC and NTP. utility designed to protect system time integrity and the flow of time-dependent processes through the enabling of fast and accurate synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. of system times across entire networks. Comment: 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. Softros System, Inc.'s Network Time Systems lets users set up a virtually failsafe synchronized syn·chro·nize v. syn·chro·nized, syn·chro·niz·ing, syn·chro·niz·es v.intr. 1.

(2) In data entry operations, to compare the keystrokes of a second operator with the data entered by the first operator to ensure that the data were typed in accurately. See validate. the accuracy of the network time. External time sources can include Internet time In the early days of the public Internet, Internet time referred to the breakneck speed with which companies scrambled to gain traffic and market share on the Web. A new business could come and go within a matter of weeks. servers or 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. Synchronization is controlled by advanced features such as high-speed network protocols and precise speed-factored time analysis, together with Time System's unique protocols and expandable architecture. An encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. 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. Also the system's flexible and scalable architecture allows it to be customized to the user's unique needs. Users can excercise the option to set up multiple Network Time Servers on the network, so that if one server fails, there are other backups on standby standby Medtalk adjective Referring to the immediate availability of a certain specialist–anesthesiologist, surgeon, who can be deployed in a medical emergency.
