Seapine Surround SCM, a highly scalable cross-platform software configuration management solution, controls access to source files and other development assets. All data is stored in industry-standard relational database management systems for greater security, scalability, data management, and reporting. Feature-rich Surround SCM includes changelists and atomic transactions, LDAP and Active Directory support, shadow folders, defect linking, hyperlink access to files and branches, integration with a variety of IDEs and build tools, and WebDAV support. Surround SCM's change automation, caching proxy server, labels, and virtual branching tools streamline parallel development and provide complete control over the software change process.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Cross-Platform Software Configuration Management:
Surround SCM is a full-featured configuration management solution that controls access to files and tracks changes over time. It combines advanced source code management features, such as workflows and virtual branching, with a user-friendly interface and integration with popular development tools to help you manage your development effort. Cross-platform server support for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris gives you the flexibility to deploy on your preferred platform. The GUI client supports full functionality for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Command line clients are supported on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris.

RDBMS-Based Data Storage:
Surround SCM database and mainline branches are stored in an RDBMS database, allowing you to leverage standard third-party reporting tools and your tuning and back up expertise. Native RDBMS data storage allows you to leverage your existing database infrastructure and backup strategies, store Surround SCM databases on different servers for improved scalability, and write custom change management reports that run outside of Surround SCM.

Advanced Branching and Labeling:
Branching and merging provide easy and effective management of source files throughout the development lifecycle. Surround SCM does not impose a branching process on users—your use of branching depends on your company’s needs and business processes. Labeling allows you to name specific configurations of files, making it easier to get files, create branches, and rebase files and branches on a group of related files in different repositories. Together, branching and labeling give you complete control over how you manage change process and releases, and track configurations.

Configurable Workflows with States and Transitions:
While branching provides high-level control over the change process, Surround SCM’s workflow gives you much more granular control by enabling you to model and enforce the state changes of files within a branch. Preventing files that have not been reviewed from being promoted to the build branch is just one example of the type of control Surround SCM's workflow can bring to your team. Powerful in-application programmable triggers help you extend Surround SCM’s functionality to even better fit your company’s change management and build processes.

Seamless integration with leading development tools:
Surround SCM integrates with many popular IDEs and development tools for seamless change management support. Microsoft Office and operating system integrations make change management accessible to all departments in your company. Visit www.seapine.com/scmintegrations.html for more information.

BENEFITS TO THE USER

Enable Parallel Development:
Branching provides easy and effective management of source files throughout the development lifecycle. Tailor Surround SCM’s virtual branching architecture to your development process.

Surround SCM’s branching engine allows developers to integrate their private changes at any time with a single mouse click.

Manage Change Processes Your Way:
Whether your team is large or small, distributed or local, using Agile, waterfall or another methodology, Surround SCM easily adapts to support your process and tools. In addition to fully customizable branching, labeling, and workflow, Surround SCM includes custom fields and reports, a user interface that you can customize to fit the way you work, and seamless integration with your development tools.

Support Fast Distributed Development:
Improve distributed development with private workspaces and fast, secure remote access to source files and issues. Optional intelligent caching proxy servers offer even faster remote access to source code.

Integrated Issue Tracking:
Surround SCM includes seamlessly bi-directional integration with award-winning TestTrack Pro to give you complete traceability between defects, features, change requests, and source code changes. Surround SCM also conforms to the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (SCCI) standard and can be integrated with many Windows defect tracking tools.
