Applications are getting faster every day. Transactions that used to take a few seconds now happen in the millisecond and microsecond range—and before too long, applications and systems will need to operate in the realm of nanoseconds. While those orders of magnitude are difficult for the human mind to comprehend, what’s clear is that precise time synchronization for IT systems keeps getting more important. As transaction speeds accelerate, the timing of systems conducting those transactions must be accurate and precise. Many companies now deploy solutions across distributed hybrid cloud environments and globally interconnected data centers. However, the distribution of servers,…
