PRESS RELEASE - NeoClock Industrial

On the Pulse of Time

NeoClock Industrial - atomic time, even in extreme conditions
Siegburg, 07/03/2001

  
 
     

Siegburg / LEUNIG. PC clocks are notoriously inaccurate. This can have serious consequences for IT applications - unless, that is, the clocks are regularly adjusted. In networks with hundreds, even thousands, of workstations, this can be an insurmountable task. The solution: NeoClock - the advanced radio clock from LEUNIG, which automatically synchronizes networked PCs with the standard timebase. The new industrial version of NeoClock can even be used in adverse industrial environments.

In theory, radio clocks should always keep precision time, because they receive their time from the world's most accurate atomic clocks; accurate, in fact, to within a second in several hundred thousand years. In practice, this is often not the case. Most owners of radio clocks have at some time watched in bewilderment as their clock suddenly adjusted itself by several hours, even days. The reason for this erratic behaviour is simple: radio clocks merely receive the time signal, and any interference in this signal can be misread by the clock, which then sets itself to an incorrect time. This can affect even the indicated month or year.

NeoClock, which has been developed especially for IT networks, employs a variety of technologies to completely remove the risk of incorrect time reception. Even if the time signal fails completely, a highly accurate built-in crystal clock continues to keep precision time for up to several weeks.

NeoClock, which has been developed especially for IT networks, employs a variety of technologies to completely remove the risk of incorrect time reception. Even if the time signal fails completely, a highly accurate built-in crystal clock continues to keep precision time for up to several weeks.

NeoClock supports the Windows NT, 2000, 95 and 98 network operating systems, as well as Novell Netware and OS/2.

Background:
We all know that servers, switches, routers, etc. crash from time to time, a situation which not even the most advanced management tools can handle. When the system crashes, the equipment's mains switch needs to be physically operated by a person. In large remote networks, this is both time consuming and costly. This also applies for systems whose operation and maintenance is outsourced: often, and especially at night, nobody is available at the provider's system location with access to the server rooms, making a quick restart impossible. The answer to these problems comes in the form of the "ePowerSwitch" from LEUNIG.
