Client-Server Architecture with Caching SourceAnywhere for VSS is a client/server application. It consists of a Server, Cache Server (optional) and several types of Client. They communicate over any standard TCP/IP connection, including a PPP connection over a modem, an ISDN line, or an Ethernet connection on the same LAN as the Server. SourceAnywhere for VSS does not require Windows Remote Access Service (RAS).
The client-server architecture eliminates many problems of Visual SourceSafe, which is file-system based, in remote access. For VSS, to share VSS documents, you have to share the whole VSS database folder, even if you only wish to share a single file in the database. Sharing the database folders totally exposes your valuable data to the outside, which may potentially cause the data to be copied or damaged. Especially in remote access, it is almost unconceivable. Also, accessing the file system in a remote environment is very slow.
In Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS, the VSS database folder is only exposed to the SourceAnywhere for VSS Server. The client sends requests to the server and gets the result back. The security and performance are greatly improved.
Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS 5.0 introduces a Cache Server for distributed developments.
Features
High Performance Remote Access- 100+ times faster than VSS Explorer over internet
- Delta Transfer (Professional Edition Only). Only the difference of the files is transferred in Check In, Check Out, Get and Undo Check Out operations
- The data is compressed (zip) before transfer
- Compresses multiple files together to increase compression ratio and reduce the number of file transfer round trip
- Multi-thread file transfer
Distributed Development- Client-server architecture. No file system access overheads
- Cache Server. Requested server files are cached on the cache server to speed the client access.
- Time zone offset management
Securer- 128-bit Blowfish is used to protect the data
- SSL is used to protect the data
- Password Policy. Protect your password with strong passwords
- Client-server architecture. No need to expose the VSS database folder
