- Access control through active directory. group policies etc ... who can do what edit what files.
- http interface for file browsing so we can point at files from Sharepoint, Jira and other tools.
- DFS for multiserver and workload balancing ( i have 300+ altium users ... )
and i can hand it to the IT guys which make sure it gets backed up online, offline, onsite and offsite.
it doesnt cost anything. simply deploy visualsvn and off you go.
install tortoise int he cad stations and let altium do the rest.
However, since i have a large vault ... i am migrating away from SVN. lifecycle tracking is so much easier in the vault. what is used where, parts requests , all can be managed inside the vault. i can force the way to work , release templates, output generation. is all handled in a consistent way and for the CAD user a one-click thing.
