Global Development Done Right

Chances are your development teams don't sit on the same continent, let alone the same building. You've got teams spread out from Dallas to New Delhi. So why are you using tools that assume your developers are at an arm's length?

Unlike yesterday's tools designed for tiny teams in Topeka, Serena Dimensions is designed for globally-distributed, massively-parallel development teams. It's not just that Dimensions is "the most full-featured SCCM solution" on the market (according to Forrester Research). When it comes to globally distributed development, Dimensions stands far apart from the crowd on two key points: performance and support for a single global repository.

Built for Speed.

Dimensions is fast across a Wide Area Network (WAN). Wicked fast. Whether it's opening large projects or checking in code, Dimensions performance smokes major competitors. Not concrete enough for you? In recent lab tests, Dimensions performed an average of 60 times faster than IBM Rational ClearCase and Subversion. In certain scenarios Dimensions performed 127 times faster than ClearCase. Regardless of the network configuration—high-latency or low-latency—Dimensions was faster than the competition.

So, how does Dimensions do it? Dimensions relies on sophisticated library caching, advanced compression, and a high-performance RDBMS to provide a high-performing environment to even the most demanding development teams.

One World. One Repository.

With Dimensions, every developer can work against a single repository, meaning you don't spend unnecessary time replicating and maintaining isolated code repositories and change and configuration management systems.

Dimensions' single repository provides you with:

• End-to-end traceability, from the inception of a project or issue through delivery of the functionality.
• Streamlined regulatory compliance though development lifecycle process definition and enforcement.
• Enhanced team productivity with an infrastructure that supports collaboration between co-located or geographically distributed stakeholders.
• Visibility and control over project status, progress, and prioritization.
