Your director of development is splitting up work on the next release of your product with a new acquisition half way around the world—time for MultiSite.

MultiSite is an add-on feature set for both ClearCase and ClearQuest providing distributed development support. In the following chapters we outline procedures for planning and implementing MultiSite for your UCM environment.

This chapter provides an overview of the MultiSite technology, a walkthrough of the infrastructure requirements, and an outline of a recommended planning process.
