PLEASANTON, Calif. February 17, 2006 - WANdisco, the leader in multi-site development solutions, today announced the release of its new Wandisco for Subversion multi-site development solution. WANdisco for Subversion is the first and only cost-effective, fault-tolerant multi-site software configuration management (SCM) solution for Subversion that uses active-active replication to synchronize work from globally distributed development teams in real-time. Distributed development teams can work together, as they would, if they were all at the same site, working against the same Subversion repository. WANdisco delivers LAN speed over a WAN.
The excessive, error-prone source code branching that other multi-site solutions require to avoid check-in snafus and prevent developers at one site from clobbering work done by developers at another goes away. Distributed development teams no longer work in isolation. Problems are detected earlier. Less time is spent in QA. Development cycles are shortened by 50% or more, resulting in dramatic cost savings.
WANdisco for Subversion delivers:
- A 1,000% performance improvement during checkout/checkin.
- An 80% reduction in network bandwidth usage and costs (many customers abandon plans to acquire additional E-1 lines to support offshore development teams.)
- Guaranteed transaction support and "self-healing" automated recovery features that Subversion doesn't provide with either its Berkeley DB or FSFS back ends (with WANdisco, Subversion repositories are never corrupted, and the risk of losing source code in the event of network or server failures is completely eliminated).
- Complete transparency-developers won't even notice that WANdisco has been implemented (Subversion administrators can leverage their existing skills without any learning curve.)
- Security features that protect valuable intellectual property and support ongoing compliance with new regulatory requirements imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley (group, role and user based access control can be defined to enforce segregation of duties and online reports can track every user access to the Subversion repository at every development site to provide a complete audit trail).
- A dramatically lower cost of ownership with more complete functionality than any other multi-site solution available for Subversion.
No other multi-site development solution for Subversion delivers WANdisco's active-active replication capability that enables globally distributed development teams to work as one in real-time, regardless of where they're located. And no other multi-site solution can provide WANdisco's built-in support for high availability and disaster recovery without requiring other third party hardware and software products, as well as additional staff with the skills to support them.
Availability
WANdisco for Subversion is available now. WANdisco also provides migration tools and consulting services that allow customers to migrate quickly and easily from other SCMs to Subversion. For more details go to: http://www.wandisco.com/php/product_detail.php?lname=subversion
About WANdisco
Since 2001 WANdisco has set out to push the limits of what can be achieved with distributed systems deployed on a Wide Area Network (WAN). The result of these efforts is new technology that fundamentally changes the way distributed nodes, or servers, interact to provide unprecedented levels of reliability, availability and scalability (RAS) enabling the internet to realize its full potential. WANdisco has applied this technology to the development of its suite of multi-site SCM solutions for CVS, CVSNT, and Subversion. For the first time a development team can truly be spread-out across the world and work as one unit, in real-time.
Global 2000 companies rely on WANdisco's suite of SCM solutions for CVS, CVSNT and Subversion to enable them to distribute work based on where their talent is located, rather than on the basis of time-zone constraints. This results in dramatically reduced costs and significantly improved utilization of scarce resources, visit www.wandisco.com.
