My (slightly) overkill NTP infrastructure

June 23, 2024 finished

Context When I was working at the amazing swiss 🇨🇭 hoster Infomaniak, I had the change to setup their NTP infrastructure. Previously, they may have been using an old, single point of failure, forgotten, server that acted as the main time provider. When you have thousands of clients and a time-sensitive infrastructure, and multiple DCs this in not really acceptable. So the goal was to create something better, and we ended up using some PCI-e cards with an OCXO and a GPS + PPS connection.
