The CVSDude Technology

Our systems are carefully designed to be completely horizontally scalable. When the load on individual servers reaches a pre-defined threshold, we simply add more boxes, distributing the bandwidth and data demands across our multi-node server farms. This way we can maintain rapid response time to your repositories and project management applications (Bugzilla, Trac, ViewVC).
 

US-based data centers

Our many servers are physically located in two high-security, high-end data centers, providing both geographical and infrastructure redundancy. The first is in Atlanta, GA (gnax.net), the second is in Dallas, TX (softlayer.com), with an upcoming third center to be based in London, UK. All are connected via fast redundant gigabit links. The independent site locations allow load to be spread across all of our systems, providing extra redundancy. We run a multi-master LDAP authentication system with one master in each data centre. This way, even if an entire location were ever to go down, the CVSDude system will seamlessly channel the load through the redundant center, remaining 100% usable and stable. We aim to always stay ahead of customer demand by continually adding more servers to more data centers around the world.

Security

Your source code is the most important data on our servers, and we have designed our systems accordingly. We run a redundant Hardware RAID 5 configuration on all our storage devices, and run live 10-minute backups to separate servers for all dynamic customer data. Our servers in both data centers are hooked up to arrays of UPSs, in case of power failure. Each server cluster is protected by a hardware firewall, while individual servers also run software firewalls. We are always linked in to the latest security alerts for all 3rd party software that we run (CVS, Subverison, Bugzilla, etc).

System requirements

You will need a CVS or Subversion client when using CVSDude.s hosting services. Any system, including Windows, Linux, UNIX or Mac that runs a client can be used. We have compiled a list of recommend clients for your convenience, but please note that this list is neither exclusive nor exhaustive. You may use any client that is compatible with the CVS or Subversion protocols.
