You joke, but Google actually uses GPS mounted on the roofs of their data centers for time synchronization.



GPS plus atomic clocks.

And, boy, do the off-the-shelf commercial offerings suck. The vendors are not really used to dealing with the stress that Google puts these things under.


Could you elaborate on that?


Sorry, not sure I am allowed. :(

And let me guess, you built your own rubidium decay device, as most do :)
