界面友好、可靠的版本控制系統

Vault可以通過SQL Server數據庫源代碼的核心操作，來確保數據的完整性。通過HTTP的數據壓縮和二進制增量來提高客戶端與服務器之間的遠程通信質量。此外，Vault還支持歷史記錄和事件通知等功能。

可完全替代Visual SourceSafe

從一開始，Vault就是為了那些使用Microsoft Visual SourceSafe的用戶設計的。Vault幾乎可以實現SourceSafe的所有功能，包括共享和Pin，保存依靠SourceSafe的工作流，并提供了相似的用戶界面。

集成工作項目跟蹤功能

對于用戶來說，僅僅是源代碼控制是不夠的。Vault Professional版本集成了工作項目跟蹤功能。這樣，可以讓您清楚的知道變化涉及到哪些項目。

工具箱集成和跨平臺支持

Vault集成了主流的IDE，包括Visual Studio和Eclipse。可以使用Vault跨平臺客戶端（Vault Cross Platform Client）從Mac OS X和Linux訪問Vault。構建集成了CruiseControl.NET和Nant。Vault還支持很多種第三方工具，例如Red Gate的SQL Source Control。Java命令行客戶端（Java command-line client）支持跨平臺。

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.
