I didn’t want to click this so I assume others here won’t either. Here’s the top points they highlight themselves:
- Facebook engineers have built and open-sourced an Open Compute Time Appliance, an important component of the modern timing infrastructure.
- To make this possible, we came up with the Time Card — a PCI Express (PCIe) card that can turn almost any commodity server into a time appliance.
- With the help of the OCP community, we established the Open Compute Time Appliance Project [1] and open-sourced every aspect of the Open Time Server.[2]

- the_biot 5y agoWhatever you may think of Facebook, they've done awesome things within their Open Compute Project. They also fund a lot of open source work.
- nefitty 5y agoYes, I appreciate their engineering work. I did have to click the link to post my comment. I posted it for other people’s benefit because I understand the concerns regarding their privacy record.
