WALTHAM, Mass., March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Assembla announced today the release of Portfolio Perforce Team Edition, a hosted service featuring Perforce's premier versioning engine integrated with powerful collaboration tools built by Assembla.
Assembla's Portfolio Perforce Team Edition supports up to 50 users, unlimited repos, and unlimited files of any size or type - perfect for handling 3D art, audio documents, and large binary files for distributed teams. Now anyone can work with the most talented artists, coders, and designers wherever they are in the world.
"Perforce is a great version management engine for the variety of contributors and content involved in modern product development and has long been the stable of AAA gaming studios," said Ajit Umrani, President of Assembla. "Assembla's offering makes Perforce accessible on demand in a high availability configuration with a set of collaboration tools for gaming studios of all sizes. We handle the large depot sizes common to this cohort and bring the flexibility of working with remote team members or external partners. We take care of the Perforce admin so the gaming studios can focus on what they are good at - making games that players love and fear."
With Portfolio Perforce Team Edition On Demand, your code and files will have unmatched security with triple-redundant replication. With a 99.9% uptime record, development teams can be confident in their ability to access code and files 24/7. Developers can get started with a Perforce depot in less than 60 seconds. Users can browse, review, and share code instantly with Assembla's web-based Code Browser. A syntax highlighted changeset browser featuring inline code commenting makes it easy to see what has changed.
"We were looking for a Perforce solution that would work both in office while granting access to the outside (work from home) contractors we work with on design and gaming projects," said Kevin Nakane, IT manager at Section Studios, a video game design and development company. "Assembla has provided our company a fast, efficient, and easy-to-use storage and Perforce repository solution. Assembla's reasonable pricing, which also includes cloud storage and Amazon S3 backups, made the decision a no brainer for us."
