1 - Unique capabilities dramatically shorten development cycles and reduce cost.

• Peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure eliminates downtime.
• Not a master-slave, or multi-master solution. Subversion repositories at every site are writeable as well as readable for the entire code base.
• Immediate active-active replication of write transactions eliminates WAN latency and insures that distributed Subversion repositories are always in sync.
• 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.
• Update conflicts and other problems are found and fixed as they occur, so less time is spent on QA and rework.

2 - Developers collaborate instead of working in silos.

• 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

3 - Designed to deliver unbeatable performance.

• Subversion MultiSite combines a smart commit strategy with network optimization features that deliver LAN-speed performance over the WAN for write operations at every location, while keeping all of the repositories in sync.
• For large commits from remote sites, hundreds of WAN round trips are eliminated in comparison to what would be required with a single central Subversion server, or a master-slave solution.
• Checkouts and other read operations are always local, so no WAN traffic is generated.
• Subversion MultiSite provides a follow-the-sun option that allows performance to be further optimized based on each development location's normal working hours.
• Network traffic and bandwidth usage costs go down dramatically.

4 - Peace of mind from zero downtime and zero data loss.

• 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.
• Expensive third party disk mirroring solutions for backup and recovery are not required.

5 - No retraining is required.

• Subversion's functionality doesn't change after Subversion MultiSite is implemented.
• Developers and administrators continue to use the clients and tools they're familiar with.
• Subversion MultiSite is implemented as a transparent network proxy for the local Subversion server at each development location.
• Subversion MultiSite's transparent implementation means that client configurations don't change, and there are no changes to the Subversion server's filesystem at each location.

6 - Easy to install and configure.

• Intuitive browser interface makes installation and configuration a snap.
• Multiple sites can be up and running within an hour.
• Normally installed on the same server as Subversion, or the Apache Web Server used to front-end Subversion at each site, so no additional hardware is required.
• Works with all major Subversion clients including SmartSVN, TortoiseSVN, Subclipse, Subversion command line, and any HTTP client that works with Apache and Subversion.
• Written in Java, and runs under Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems.

7 - Easy to administer.

• All sites can be administered from a single location
• Replication is automatic with each write operation and transactional consistency is guaranteed across all distributed Subversion repositories.
• Setup and maintenance of site specific branches to avoid conflicts is completely unnecessary.
• Built-in self-healing capabilities make disaster recovery automatic without any administrator involvement.

8 - Makes full 24X7 global operation possible without any other software or hardware.

• WANdisco's unique replication technology turns Subversion repositories distributed over a WAN into mirrors of each other, providing continuous hot-backup by default, as part of normal operation.
• Hot deploy features make it possible to add new Subversion servers to a multi-site implementation, or take existing servers offline for maintenance without interrupting usage for other sites.
• When new servers are added, or existing servers are brought back online they automatically sync up with the Subversion servers at the other sites.

9 - Proven technology used by Fortune Global 1000 companies and startups outsourcing for the first time.

• Firms such as AT&T, Motorola, Avaya, Verisign, Lockheed Martin, Bally Technologies, Honda, Cirrus Logic and others rely on WANdisco's technology.
• Even smaller organizations outsourcing for the first time find that Subversion MultiSite pays for itself many times over during just the first year of use.

10 - Low cost, high return.

• Subversion MultiSite's dramatic cost savings result from four main factors:
• Reduced development cycle time due to reductions in QA and rework.
• Reduced downtime
• Reduced administrative overhead.
• Reduced network bandwidth usage costs.
• Subversion MultiSite even delivers dramatic cost savings over operating with no multi-site solution and using a central Subversion server with remote developers connecting over the WAN.
• WANdisco provides an ROI calculator to determine what cost savings can be expected in each customer's environment in comparison to other multi-site solutions.
