Clockwork today announced a new service that uses its clock synchronization service to eliminate packet drops to help businesses improve their network performance.
A year ago, the company created a splash when it announced its clock synchronization service that helps businesses keep their server fleets in sync. Keeping clocks in sync with up to 5-nanosecond accuracy (for hardware-based timestamps) is quite an achievement, but the idea here was always to go up the stack and build tools on top of this fundamental technology. The first tool, Latency Sensei, provides users with fine-grained data about latency in their networks. Now, Clockwork is bundling this tool with other features and a new ‘sense-and-control’ dashboard for managing them all, aiming to help businesses reduce network latency, jitter, and virtually eliminate packet drops between their machines, regardless of location or computing environments.
