Time Appliances Project

The Time Appliances Project (TAP) provides an open platform for collaboration, discussion, standardization, and knowledge sharing around time and synchronization technologies for data center environments. Its primary focus is on data center applications and network infrastructure that depend on precise and reliable timing.
TAP brings together data center operators, application developers, equipment vendors, and semiconductor companies to enable time-sensitive workloads such as distributed system consistency, edge computing, AR and VR, and IoT. These use cases require accurate, resilient, and scalable time distribution and synchronization to operate correctly and efficiently.
