Plastic SCM brings fresh air to the version control market. The innovative software is based on different new aspects both on its design as in the way the information is handled. It brings powerful task-based parallel development, full control over your changes and useful and stunning visualization techniques, offering high-end features at a very good price. And not only this, it is also the best option if you are interested on a system providing good scalability, as it scales to accommodate small workgroups as well as large and geographically distributed companies.
As distributed environments are becoming a must for software development, coordinating the efforts of development teams is one of the biggest challenges faced by todayâ??s companies. Depending on each organization needs and their structure, the most suitable SCM working pattern will be chosen. Plastic SCM supports both centralized and distributed work, including the traditional distributed method, multisite and off-line. Having a server at each location will solve the problem of slow or unreliable internet connection Between sites.
Multiserver support
In the default configuration a single Plastic Server manages all repositories and workspaces, but the system is flexible enough to allow different layouts. Different repository and Workspace servers can be configured to cooperate enhancing overall system performance, reducing network usage, distributing storage and balancing CPU load.
Why is task based development so easy with Plastic? Simply said, because of its advanced branching model: Branching is one of the core Plastic SCM capabilities, and Branch Inheritance Technology is the key to maximize team productivity, easing integrations, and providing full traceability of the development. New visualizations provide the level of detail needed by the every team member, from a global view of the project status offered by the branch explorer, to the single item detail displayed on the 3D version tree.
