CollabNet Subversion Edge

Subversion® has become the version control standard for developers around the world. Whether you are in a

regulated industry or just demand better controls in configuration management, Subversion provides the
robust, centralized version control functionality chosen to replace legacy systems. After ten years of community
social development and now a successful Apache Foundation project, Subversion is secure and mature for the
complexity of modern application development at any scale.

1. Apache® Subversion is still Number One.

CollabNet started the original Subversion project in 2000 as the next generation of open source revision

control systems. The evolution of Subversion was to meet the demand of the new distributed and multi -
source model of development.

The wide-spread acceptance has made Subversion the most used source code management system in the
world with an estimated five million users or about 50 percent of developers. But the real telling numbers is

the number of open positions looking for Subversion expertise.

2. Apply Economic Logic to your Migration Decisions.

Sometimes the best decision is to do nothing. Often a company may presume that migration of structure

and metadata is a requirement for user adoption and for a viable useful Source Code Management (SCM)
system. Considerations to be made are what are the costs, effort and complexity? A good analysis can help
in avoiding weeks or months of migration attempts as well as cleaning up corrupted and unstable data.

Why CollabNet?

CollabNet is a main corporate

sponsor of Subversion. The
company started the project in
2000, hosted the original Tigris
Subversion community and

employs a team of full-time
Subversion developers.

3. Administer your Repositories from One Console.

CollabNet Subversion Edge is the answer for easy installation, administration, security and governance of
your Subversion environment. A certified software stack of the latest versions of Apache Subversion®,
Apache, and ViewVC are combined into a single installer. All this is fronted by a powerful and secure Web -
based console. It’s FREE and completely open source.

4. Plug and Play with all the Best IDES.

Treat all tiers of the application and developers consistently as equally important first-class citizens.

Subversion integrates well with development tools and environments as a way to make all types of
developers equal partners in the development process and a ligns to the tools and practices of
the developers.

For an application to be truly atomic under source control – for all its components to be successfully

versioned into a single revision – the data layer must coexist as an equal partner with the other application
tiers. Developers can then have confidence in the integrity of the repository and know that any single
revision has an entire picture of the application.

5. Spend your Microsoft

Budget on your People.

Subversion has a dramatically lower cost of ownership compared to commercial systems. Not only is it a
free download, deployment costs are lower too. While other systems can require as many as one

administrator for 20 developers, Subversion repositories are often maintained by a single administrator for
100s of developers. Subversion’s IT infrastructure requirements are also minimal and the system scales well
from an initial departmental implementation to a full enterprise-wide deployment. Spend your budget on
developing your people with web-based training and interactive workshops to institute best practices in

configuration management.

Subversion Ready for the Enterprise

To help companies deploy Subversion successfully, CollabNet Subversion Edge is focused on the most popular

set of platforms and a predefined configuration that has proven its robustness in the enterprise. All available
for

download from CollabNet:

Windows

Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, Standard Ed, Windows 7

Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases 4,5,6 (32 bit, x86, 64 bit);
CentOS releases 4,5 (32 bit, x86, 64 bit)

Solaris (CLC)

Open Source or Commercial License

Just like Apache Subversion

itself, Subversion Edge is FREE and fully open source (licensed under AGPL license),

available for download. Alternatively, for those needing the additional peace of mind that comes with a
commercial license option, CollabNet can provide that.

Subversion Support and Services

Proprietary version control vendors claim unique approaches to version control but this often translates to

extensive training requirements. One reason for Subversion’s adoption and success is ease of use. End-user
training can be minimized to hours versus days. Subversion’s widespread acceptance means that the next
developer joining the company is most likely already familiar with the system.



CollabNet provides training courses to bring developers, other project team members, configuration
managers and administrators up to speed with Subversion. The courses cover how to use Subversion,
how to set up and maintain servers and repositories, and general best practices



Our Consultants have been part of thousands of transformations providing consulting, migration,
support, and training services. CollabNet consults with enterprises that are planning to adopt
Subversion on how to apply best practices to their Configuration Management (CM) processes



CollabNet offers technical support to help enterprises deploy CollabNet Subversion Edge on a broad
scale, maximize their return-on-investment and reduce risks. Different support plans with varying
service level agreements are available to fit each customer’s specific needs.

In addition to training and support, CollabNet offers consulting services that speed up the deployment of
Subversion. CollabNet consultants help to develop and execute an implementation plan that ensures a
successful roll-out of Subversion. CollabNet also offers migration services from legacy systems.
