Data center provider Telehouse International Corporation together with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK's National Metrology Institute has launched a time-as-a-time service offering called NPLTime Certified.
This service functions to provide businesses with a synchronized time signal that is accurate to within one microsecond of UTC so that customers can have accuracy in their data timing. This service is also not reliant on public internet or GPS antennas for synchronization and is monitored and controlled 24/7.
Takayo Takamuro, managing director of Telehouse Europe, said, “As the technological and regulatory landscapes evolve, accurate time is increasingly business-critical, particularly for financial services organizations that must provide evidence of accuracy for forensic analysis and audits. The launch of NPLTime Certified at Telehouse further strengthens our commitment to customers to deliver services that directly address their challenges, in this case, certifiable and traceable time to aid regulatory compliance.”
Leon Lobo, head of the National Timing Centre program at NPL added, "Resilient time underpins the synchronization of the digital infrastructure and maximizes the quality of data through traceable timestamps. The partnership between NPL and Telehouse offers an exciting new opportunity, supporting business continuity, as well as enabling current and emerging applications with trusted time.”
