SVN MultiSite Benefits for Developers

Get the job done faster and easier

Peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure. Unlike master-slave or multi-master solutions, repositories at every site are readable as well as writeable for the entire code base.
Setup of site specific branches to avoid conflicts, and the extra merge operations to support them become completely unnecessary.
Immediate active-active replication of write transactions eliminates WAN latency and insures that distributed Subversion repositories are always in sync. Users at every location experience LAN-speed performance for both read and write operations.
Developers at remote sites don't hold back their commits until the end of the day, or end of the week as they may have in the past due to poor network performance.
Developers at different locations can simultaneously checkout and checkin the same files, and resolve update conflicts and other problems when they occur, instead of days or weeks later, so much less time is spent on QA and rework.

Implemented as a transparent network proxy for the local Subversion server at each site, so client configurations don't change.
Works with all major Subversion clients.
Written in Java, and runs under Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems.

Development tasks no longer have to be partitioned on the basis of geography, or time zone constraints because of technical limitations.
The most talented resources for a given project or task can work together. This in itself leads to shorter development cycles, reduced costs, and higher quality.

WANdisco's unique replication technology turns distributed Subversion repositories into mirrors of each other, providing continuous hot-backup by default.
Recovery is automatic after a network outage or server crash.
The risk of human error from manual recovery procedures is completely eliminated. Work is never lost.
