introduction
The NTS Server is a server application included in the Network Time System package that is used for setting up and running a dedicated time server on the enterprise network.
It is capable of time synchronization with external sources (Internet time servers or local trusted time sources such as GPS, clock cards, etc.).
The server allows the workstation client software to synchronize time with the enterprise network time server, thus creating sophisticated time synchronization system for effective time synchronization.
