Distributed Software Development for CVS

CVS MultiSite leverages WANdisco's unique replication technology to immediately synchronize CVS repositories connected over a wide area network (WAN). Users at every location experience local area network (LAN) speed performance for both read and write operations. CVS MultiSite also provides continuous hot backup and self-healing capabilities that automate disaster recovery, so that downtime is virtually eliminated.

Features:

• Immediately synchronizes each development site's CVS repository with its peers at other sites on every commit, or other write operation. CVS repositories connected over a WAN become mirrors of each other.
• Overcomes WAN latency between development sites. Users at every location experience LAN-speed performance for both read and write operations. At the same time, bandwidth usage and costs go down by as much as 80%.
• Developers at different locations can simultaneously checkout and checkin the same files, and resolve conflicts and other problems when they occur, instead of days or weeks later, so there's less QA and rework.
• Requires no retraining. Developers and administrators use the CVS clients and tools they're familiar with, and CVS functionality doesn't change.
• Continuous hot backup and self-healing capabilities automate disaster recovery without administrator involvement. Costly disk mirroring solutions are completely unnecessary.

What is CVS?

CVS is an open source version control system that stores and tracks changes made to any type of electronic data, including source code files, web pages, documents, or images. CVS has been available since 1989, and is still widely used today.

Foundation for a Complete Solution Stack

CVS MultiSite can be implemented standalone, or in combination with WANdisco's High Availability, Clustering, or Access Control solutions for CVS.

CVS MultiSite can also be implemented with JIRA MultiSite to complete the solution stack. JIRA MultiSite, offered exclusively by WANdisco, is based on Atlassian's JIRA, the award winning bug tracking, issue tracking and project management solution, in use by more than 6000 customers worldwide, including many of the Fortune 1000. With JIRA MultiSite, a single central JIRA server is no longer a performance bottleneck, and IT organizations gain immediate visibility into individual issue and overall project status across all development sites.
