界面友好、可靠的版本控制系统

Vault可以通过SQL Server数据库源代码的核心操作，来确保数据的完整性。通过HTTP的数据压缩和二进制增量来提高客户端与服务器之间的远程通信质量。此外，Vault还支持历史记录和事件通知等功能。

可完全替代Visual SourceSafe

从一开始，Vault就是为了那些使用Microsoft Visual SourceSafe的用户设计的。Vault几乎可以实现SourceSafe的所有功能，包括共享和Pin，保存依靠SourceSafe的工作流，并提供了相似的用户界面。

集成工作项目跟踪功能

对于用户来说，仅仅是源代码控制是不够的。Vault Professional版本集成了工作项目跟踪功能。这样，可以让您清楚的知道变化涉及到哪些项目。

工具箱集成和跨平台支持

Vault集成了主流的IDE，包括Visual Studio和Eclipse。可以使用Vault跨平台客户端（Vault Cross Platform Client）从Mac OS X和Linux访问Vault。构建集成了CruiseControl.NET和Nant。Vault还支持很多种第三方工具，例如Red Gate的SQL Source Control。Java命令行客户端（Java command-line client）支持跨平台。

Vault is a version control tool designed to be a compelling replacement for Visual SourceSafe.

When we built SourceOffSite, we learned a lot about how to make Version Control perform better. We took that knowledge and built a tool that works better in every way.

SourceSafe Import

Vault's VSS Handoff gets you up and running in no time, with access to all of your VSS History, Shares and Pins. Jump right into the safer, faster, more-powerful world of Vault, and leave nothing behind.

Built for Reliability

Vault was designed to ensure the reliability of data. All repository data is stored in a SQL Server database.

Atomic Checkins

You can checkin a group of logically-related operations as a changeset, and the checkin operation is atomic. The entire changeset either succeeds or fails. Your repository is never left in a half-baked state.

Familiar User Interface

SourceSafe users can begin using Vault with no learning curve. The terminology is the same. All major VSS features are present.

Remote Access

Vault was designed to work well over the Internet. All communication between client and server is done over HTTP, familiar and friendly for network administrators. Compression and binary deltas are used in both directions to minimize network traffic. Configure IIS for SSL support to keep your data secure.

Advanced Features

Vault brings smart branching and merging to your team, including our Merge Branches wizard. And check out our exclusive Line History feature (think Blame on steroids).

Clients for Linux

The Vault command-line client is fully supported and tested on Linux using Mono.

IDE Integration

Vault integrates seamlessly with both Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse.
