WANdisco Announces New Real-Time Solution for Distributed Development

New WANdisco for CVS Product Lets Developers Work from Anywhere, Anytime in Real-Time.

PLEASANTON, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2006 -- WANdisco announced the release of its new Wandisco for CVS multi-site development solution. WANdisco for CVS completely changes the game by providing a cost-effective, fault-tolerant multi-site software configuration management (SCM) solution that synchronizes work from globally distributed development teams in real-time. Now, all of an organization's distributed development teams can work as one in real-time, regardless of where they're located.

"Before WANdisco, we would partition our projects along time zones. Problems often weren't discovered until we got into QA. It typically took us two weeks to complete a build," said Ravi Narayan, Vice President at Expertus, Inc., one of WANdisco's beta customers.

"Now with WANdisco's real-time capabilities, it's a matter of wherever we have the right talent, we can have them work together irrespective of time zone boundaries. Because of this, we've been able to eliminate all of the error-prone source code branches and manual file-merging we had before. With WANdisco, we typically complete builds in one to two days. WANdisco has shortened our development cycle by over 30 percent. We're in the process of rolling out WANdisco for CVS to all of our development sites."

WANdisco for CVS is the only multi-site solution that delivers it all in one product. No other solution delivers WANdisco's active/active replication capability that allows all of your development teams to work as one in real-time, regardless of where they're located.

This means that WANdisco for CVS eliminates the excessive error-prone source code branching, and manual file merging that become part of the development process and limit collaboration between development teams when other multi-site solutions are implemented.

Finally, no other multi-site solution provides WANdisco's self-healing capabilities that guarantee high availability and automate disaster recovery when the inevitable network or server failures occur. No third party products are required. Developers can even continue working until connectivity is restored.
