Distributed Software Development for JIRA

JIRA MultiSite combines JIRA's flexible and easy to use bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management solution, with WANdisco's active-active replication technology to turn a JIRA central server implementation into a distributed, enterprise ready application lifecycle management solution.

Features

• Resolves WAN performance issues between sites to deliver LAN-speed performance over a WAN for both read and write operations.
• Balances workload across servers at multiple locations.
• Has no single point of failure whatsoever. JIRA MultiSite's approach is truly shared nothing. There is no sharing of disk, CPU, or memory between servers with JIRA MultiSite.
• Provides failover and automated disaster recovery over a WAN to insure business continuity, without any reliance on third party disk mirroring solutions.
• Can be implemented standalone, or in conjunction with WANdisco's multi-site solutions for Subversion and CVS to provide a complete, enterprise ready ALM solution stack, with built-in reliability and scalability, and no single point of failure.

What is JIRA MultiSite?

JIRA MultiSite combines JIRA's flexible and easy to use bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management solution, with WANdisco's active-active replication capabilities. JIRA MultiSite can be implemented standalone, or in conjunction with WANdisco's multi-site solutions for Subversion and CVS to provide a complete, enterprise ready ALM solution, with built-in reliability and scalability, and no single point of failure. With this powerful combination, distributed development teams collaborate at LAN-speed over the WAN, instead of working in isolation. This means that problems are detected and resolved as they occur, so there's less QA and rework. Development cycles are shortened, resulting in major cost savings.

Features You Get Everywhere With JIRA MultiSite

	Immediate Visibility to Organize, Track and Manage Across All Sites JIRA MultiSite's dashboard provides immediate visibility into individual issue and overall project status across all development sites. When JIRA MultiSite is implemented in conjunction with WANdisco for CVS or Subversion, a commit done at any one site is immediately replicated to other sites' repositories, and associated with a project task or issue logged in JIRA. Project managers can see the actual time required to complete a task, or resolve an issue down to the minute, based on checkout and checkin times.
	Issue Creation Create tasks, bug reports, enhancement requests, support tickets, and issues. Anything entered into JIRA MultiSite at one site, is immediately replicated to JIRA MultiSite installations at other sites using WANdisco's unique active-active replication capability. Attach files and screenshots to issues entered in JIRA MultiSite and they get replicated too.
	Workflow JIRA MultiSite's approval-based workflow consistently enforces adherence to development procedures across all sites. Email alerts and RSS feeds can be configured to notify users of any changes that effect them.
	Access Control Fine-grained role based access control at the individual user and project team levels can be defined. Once access control is configured, it's replicated to all other sites, as are any future changes.
	Extensibility and Integration Using JIRA's APIs and plugin architecture, you can add new functionality, manipulate data and integrate JIRA with legacy applications and version control systems such as Subversion, CVS, Perforce, ClearCase, Visual Source Safe and others. JIRA's also Web service enabled for programmatic control with external applications using SOAP, XML-RPC and REST interfaces.
	Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity When network or server failures occur, developers can continue working. When connectivity is restored, recovery happens automatically, without any administrator intervention. This ensures zero loss of data, and no lost development time, while eliminating the risk of human error in a disaster recovery scenario.
	Easy Installation and Administration JIRA MultiSite is low maintenance, and easy to install and administer. Replication is automatic, and transactional consistency is guaranteed across all JIRA MultiSite installations.
