CM-Bridge, A Perfect Fit
Clearvision, a leading provider of Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Blackduck, Atlassian software, services and solutions for the enterprise announced the launch of CM-Bridge back in 2009.
CM-Bridge fully integrates and shares data between open source version control products and commercial version control solutions including IBM Rational ClearCase, Subversion, Git and Mercurial. Since the initial announcement CM-Bridge has dramatically grown in popularity for a number of reasons;
- CM-Bridge has expanded the number of CM tools it connects with, presently IBM Rational ClearCase, Subversion, Git, Mercurial and more to be announced in 2011.
- The CM market is going through a significant transition from commercial tools such as ClearCase to open source tools such as Subversion, Git and Mercurial, the need for a reliable and effective bridging/migration tool has become essential. Replicating your code between tools rather than managing a 'big bang' migration makes any move easier and significantly lowers risk. Read the paper,"Clearvision Whitepaper: Big Bang or Gradual Migration" regarding migration approaches.
- The cost makes the product a simple decision for all prospects. Atlassian broke the mold on software license costs and Clearvision is not ashamed to adopt a similar model, our aim is high quality, low cost solutions.
- It's also a multi-site solution... until CM-Bridge was launched the only options for Subversion to Subversion replication were SVN proxi-write through or Wandisco. CM-Bridge offers significant benefits over the alternatives by fulfilling the three needs of a customer: it's cost effective, low administration requirement it replicates data effectively, efficiently and reliably.
- The CM-Bridge coupled with Migrate2SVN, Migrate2Git and Affinity Change Integration offer those companies looking to manage software development in a mixed tool environment the perfect, low cost mechanism to migrate or integrate.
