What is JCOM Clock Synchronizer? |
 |
Due
to limitations of the PC architecture,
clocks in computers tend to be not very accurate. When the system
clock in your home PC gains or loses time, it is just annoying.
But when this happens to the clock of a server running business-critical
applications, it may become a major issue.
JCOM Clock Synchronizer helps to keep your system
time always accurate by synchronizing the system clock with the
highest precision atomic clock servers on the Internet via the Network
Time Protocol (NTP). The Network
Time Protocol was specifically designed to synchronize the time
of a computer client or server to another server or reference time
source, such as a radio or satellite receiver
or modem. It provides accuracies typically
within a millisecond on local networks and
up to a few tens of milliseconds when synchronizing time over the
Internet. |

The
program is very easy to use. It quietly sits in the system tray
and automatically checks your system time against the specified
time server. If there is any difference, it may automatically correct
it. If you need, you can bring up the main program window or access
the basic program functions by right-clicking its tray icon.
The program itself can work as a local time server on your corporate
Intranet.
In this case one copy of the program installed on a machine with
Internet connection synchronizes itself with an Internet time server,
and other copies of JCOM Clock Synchronizer installed
on other networked machines check their time against it. The implementation
of the client/server usage doesn't require any special version of
Clock Synchronizer or any add-ons. All you need
to do is just mark one checkbox in the options of the 'server' program
and specify this machine's address in the settings of 'client' programs.
JCOM Clock Synchronizer features the attractive
skinnable interface. The program comes with three ready-made skins
and you can easily create your own ones. |
