Subversion MultiSite Plus release boosts global collaboration

Cirata has announced a new release of its DevOps solution, Subversion MultiSite Plus, to enhance global collaboration for distributed development teams. The latest version promises improvements in security, performance, and platform compatibility, particularly helping enterprises transitioning from end-of-life CollabNet Subversion environments.

Justin Holtzinger, Chief Revenue Officer, DevOps Solutions at Cirata, commented on the release: "With Subversion MultiSite Plus, your developers can focus on what matters most—developing content—without being held back by geography or downtime. Our Active-Active replication technology ensures that Subversion repositories are always consistent and accessible, enhancing operational continuity and collaboration for distributed teams."

Subversion MultiSite Plus is integral to any Subversion deployment, allowing distributed teams to function seamlessly without delays from remote data access. Cirata's patented Active-Active replication technology ensures continuous and automatic updates of Subversion repositories, eliminating the risk associated with a single point of failure. 

The solution promises several key capabilities and benefits that enhance collaboration and efficiency for distributed teams. One of the standout features is distributed collaboration, which enables global teams to work as a unified entity, effectively avoiding downtime and disruptions. By consistently enforcing security policies across all locations, developers gain fast local access to Subversion repositories, significantly improving overall efficiency.

Another critical advantage is global repository consistency. The automatic synchronisation feature ensures that repository replicas remain up-to-date and consistent, allowing for seamless development workflows. In the event of offline occurrences, the system can recover, further enhancing the reliability of the development process.

Additionally, the solution offers selective replication, granting administrators greater control over data sharing based on specific sites. This feature enhances security and improves performance, as it allows for tailored data management according to each location's needs.

To ensure operational continuity, Cirata Subversion MSP is equipped with high availability and disaster recovery features. Offsite replication safeguards data, making it secure and accessible even during server failures or outages, which is critical for maintaining business operations.

Finally, the solution is designed to boost developer efficiency. Cirata Subversion MSP supports fast local clones and reliable commits, ensuring compatibility with all Subversion clients and leading to an uninterrupted development experience. Coupled with a seamless management system, the unified management console simplifies global oversight of Subversion MSP deployments, effectively managing the complexities of a multi-site environment.

Holtzinger elaborated, "Our commitment to Subversion is unwavering. We understand that many organisations still see the value in Subversion, and we are dedicated to ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed, no matter the size or complexity of their development environment."

The transition from CollabNet's unsupported software helps organisations mitigate security risks associated with legacy systems. Subversion MultiSite Plus offers a secure, modern alternative, ensuring that the development workflow remains uninterrupted and secure.
