Financial Trade Network

Every second means business

Time is of the essence.

Everyone knows financial trading institutions need extremely precise, accurate, and documentable clock synchronization, and so do enterprises in virtually every industry. Without it, your data records can only be verified using timestamps that may be off for a few seconds or more.

Trusted by the world’s largest organizations, Keysight’s TimeKeeer® solution offers reliable, accurate and verifiable time-sync to improve business logic, competitive advantage, and regulatory compliance.

Secure clock synchronization for finance and regulatory compliance.

Developed in partnership with timing technology experts at FSMLabs, TimeKeeper solutions synchronize time-critical applications servers and virtual machines (VMs) in data centers and hybrid cloud environments to within sub-µs accuracy to provide traceability to official time sources such as UTC and NIST.

Improves DoD cybersecurity.

Time-sensitive cybersecurity applications such as real-time cyberattack with massive concurrent bots of cyber kill chain, cyberhunt, cybersensor, cyberthreat DPM (detection, prevention & mitigation), and cyber analytics must be accurately and reliably time-synced and timestamped for data integrity and governance. TimeKeeper’s unique monitoring and security alerting capabilities provide a basis for secure cybertiming™ and the use of synchronized clocks in securing computing platforms.

Preserves integrity of application data.

Time-sensitive data center applications must be accurately and reliably time-synced for data integrity, data governance, network latency monitoring, precise data timestamping, deterministic network performance, log file diagnostics, high-resolution data analytics, and cybersecurity forensics. 

The TimeKeeper® Product Suite.

TimeKeeper offers easy to use clock synchronization that runs on all your Linux, Windows, and Solaris machines. Solutions feature three components:

TimeKeeper Client

Resilient sub-microsecond client clock sync software for time-critical enterprise applications

  • Synchronize clocks on Linux, Windows, and Solaris application servers and VMs
  • Seamlessly upgrade legacy NTP infrastructure with leading-edge NTP/PTP precision at the lowest TCO
  • Automatically use available hardware-assisted NIC timestamping for enhanced precision
  • Performance exceeds regulatory requirements including MiFID II, RTS-25, FINRA, CAT, PSD2, and UTC/NIST standard traceability

TimeKeeper® Server.

Clock sync grandmaster/monitoring/analytics server or boundary clock software for time-critical enterprise applications

  • Real-time monitoring and alerting
  • Fault-tolerance
  • Clock distribution analysis
  • Receives any time source (GNSS, IRIG, CDMA, NTP, PTP, and others) and serve multiple NTP/PTP feeds over the network
  • Monitors and visualize the entire network time sync process and topology
  • Archives auditable records

TimeKeeper® Compliance.

Software solution for compliance officers and auditors and network performance engineers

  • Secure, real-time UTC/NIST traceable performance monitoring, troubleshooting, analytics, and reporting
  • Regulatory compliance (MiFID II , SEC 613 CAT NMS, UTC/NIST traceability, SMPTE 2059 PTP), and management through a consolidated audit trail
  • Aggregates data from TimeKeeper clients and other software solutions
  • Analyze and graph all client KPIs, reports compliance performance divergence
  • Securely store all network clock sync records for over 5 years or more
