time servers

Time servers are specialized computers that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. They synchronize clocks across systems, ensuring all digital devices—from computers to servers—display the same correct time. This synchronization is essential for functions like data logging, security, and communication. Time servers often use precise time sources, such as atomic clocks or GPS signals, to maintain accuracy. By acting as a trusted reference, they help keep digital systems coordinated and functioning smoothly.
