This powerful combination means that instead of working in isolation, distributeddevelopment teams can now work as one regardless of location, at LAN speed over aWAN, and collaborate in real-time. At the same time, project managers will havereal-time visibility into the status of their projects across all development sites,and will be able to take advantage of workflow and security features that willenable them to enforce adherence to development procedures across all sites.
 This new partnership with WANdisco allows Polarion to provide a completeapplication lifecycle management solution combined with a multi-site developmentsolution that brings real-time performance, guaranteed transaction support andautomated disaster recovery features to Subversion for the first time, said FrankSchroder, CEO of Polarion GmbH.

About WANdisco
Since 2001 WANdisco has set out to push the limits of what can be achieved withdistributed systems deployed on a Wide Area Network (WAN). The result of theseefforts is new technology that fundamentally changes the way distributed nodes, orservers, interact to provide unprecedented levels of reliability, availability andscalability (RAS) enabling the internet to realize its full potential. WANdisco hasapplied this technology to the development of its suite of multi-site SCM solutionsfor CVS, CVSNT, and Subversion. For the first time a development team can truly bespread-out across the world and work as one unit, in real-time.
Global 2000 companies rely on WANdiscoÂ's suite of SCM solutions for CVS,CVSNT andSubversion 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 dramaticallyreduced costs and significantly improved utilization of scarce resources. For moreinformation, visit www.wandisco.com.
